Agreed! That's why I wrote ggpubfigs, a ggplot2 extension that *only colorblind-friendly color palettes.
Easily make your figures colorblind-friendly with ggpubfigs! https://t.co/frQgsl7zjP
Phosphorylation can regulate protein function via diverse mechanisms, including the regulation of protein conformations. In our new preprint @m_correa_m compared structures of the same proteins and protein familes in phospho and non phosphorylated forms https://t.co/JzemeixhiM

30 Essays to Make You Love Biology
Day 8. "Can a biologist fix a radio?" by Yuri Lazebnik.
Biology tends to catalog things by breaking them apart. Without quantitative insights, it is difficult to piece them back together into a holistic understanding. One of my favorites.
With @RicardAlert we wrote this piece @NaturePhysics on success and misadventure in scientific collaborations. Based on a true story. Any thoughts on the topic? Open access here: https://t.co/mzfmWpokCP
Amazing night with this brilliant group at the #EMBOComp3D workshop last night!! It's incredible to see how pa ssionate everyone is about this field 🎉Conversations were stimulating, the wine was flowing, and the willingness to share knowledge were infectious 🍾🧠 @EMBLEvents
Be it day or night our PhD chalk talks keep on moving on, just like motor proteins! Today we had @vmellop presenting us his project on “How can we understand the functioning of motors?” #PhDCommunityIGC
Great thread on how little progress is being may on characterizing genes of unknown function in plants. Perhaps the peak in this graph reflects the end of the Arabidopsis 2010 initiative in the USA and the end of DFG support for AFGN in Germany?
A new study shows that genetic & non-genetic factors contribute to autistic traits, calling for a realignment of the concepts of genomics to incorporate the biosocial complexity of #autism

Happy to share our work on rotenone binding to respiratory complex I !
Rotenone is an archetypal natural product discovered centuries ago by the indigenous peoples of the Amazon, where it is still used today to aid in catching fish. (1/2)

The perception of IQ as a seemingly objective measure of intelligence is frequently used to promote racist pseudoscience on social media.
For this reason, I think it's extremely important for people to know some relevant facts about IQ:
Yep. And we have to do it for our entire careers, and not just speaking! What if almost every paper you ever had to read was published in -not English-? And what if you had to write you own papers in -not English- as well? Being a native anglophone is a huge privilege in science.
On this day in 1815 mathematician Ada Lovelace was born. Famous for writing the first computer programme, Lovelace was said to have understood the potential for the first computer blueprints better than their inventor, Charles Babbage. (1/9)
To close the Biophysics, Cell & Dev Biol module in the PhD course @IGCiencia, students present their lab rotations. Fantastic work, half lab, half theory/data analysis. Great cohort of students & organization @CHR_lab @tpaixao @aarandadasilva, JCarneiro
