Today and tomorrow @emdb_empiar and @pdbeurope are proud to host the Scientific Advisory Board for the Molecular and Cellular Structure Resources at @EMBL-EBI - its first in-person meeting since 2019!

[Itai Yanai @ItaiYanai]

The closing of the scientific mind is upon us unless we resist the concept of science as efficient and predictable. Grants, journals, grad programs & conferences should instead promote a balanced view of science’s process that embraces its improvisational & unpredictable nature.
