After years of struggle to prove a computer-inspired crazy insight - the idea that missense mutations and deletions could be, actually, equivalent - and involving up to 13 people from three continents, here it is:

"What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning."

-Werner Heisenberg

[Laura Orellana-Roger @structure_geek]

The book that got me totally hooked on science. I bought it with my savings when I was 11 to learn about the space. As an unexpected bonus, it also ignited my interest in molecular biology. Carl Sagan had greatest impact on me than my troubled family. Legendary.

Have you read this book? ✍️

@martinmbauer This is exactly what is done too often in biomedical research, over and over again. They have cured cancer so many times...

👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B

@ANoyLab @YSBL_York @LaurenceGWilson It was truly a pleasure, reading and discussing with Nettie and also @LaurenceGWilson such an interesting work. Loved the historical citations, going back to the greek atomists. Big congratulations, Agnes & Nettie !!!

Our project on #BrainCancer mutations in #EGFR and novel house-keeping targets received funding from @Cancerfonden. Incredibly grateful to #cancerfonden donors, even more as this year I was also honored to receive CF Junior Investigator Award. Thank you! #tillsammansmotcancer

Really thankful for the Vetenskapsrådet Starting Grant in Medicine. What a year!

[Vetenskapsrådet @Vetenskapsradet]

Vetenskapsrådet finansierar forskning inom medicin och hälsa med drygt 1,1 miljarder 2021–2026. Totalt handlar det om 252 bidrag. Se statistik här: https://t.co/PVaWv0x1hT #forskning

Fine tuned Alphafold model for protein interaction predictions. We knew it was coming but that was still quite fast. Excited to give this a try.

Wow -- faculty are 25 times more likely to have a parent with a PhD.

Almost 50 times more likely in "prestigious universities"

[Laura Orellana-Roger @structure_geek]

Thanks also to OnkPat and @LarsMHolmgren for their support!

[Laura Orellana-Roger @structure_geek]

Still cannot believe I have obtained the Cancerfonden Junior Investigator Award! Immensely grateful to @Cancerfonden for believing in an ambitious project trying to connect the apparently distant worlds of biomolecular simulations and cancer research.

Really gratifying when simulations rationalize biochemistry! A trimeric enzyme where only one of the three binding sites is active at a time, thanks to a complex unfolding mechanism revealed by MD.

Proud to be part of this collaborative work with the Haeggström´s Lab. & Madhu!

[Karolinska Institutet @karolinskainst]

KI researchers have mapped the structure and mechanism of MGST2, a membrane enzyme that plays a part in chronic #inflammation and #cancer. The study is published in @NatureComms and can make a significant contribution to the development of future drugs. https://t.co/JT17vm043K

[Sergi Valverde🌍(under a blue sky) @svalver]

We often define our time as the era of information technology. But the amazing #Antikythera mechanism shows the evolution of computing is much older, as suggested by Price in 1951. A new study offers a 3-D reconstruction of the astronomical calculator:

@AceBeaty The only real biological engineering out there, and the one I am talking about, is the one done by Nature, not us.
