Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

Happy to share our community note published in Nature Communications @natcomms.nature.com. In this 14-page article (34 authors from 9 countries), we discuss current practices in phase separation. We hope it will be useful to the biomolecular condensate community. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

If you want to learn about AWSEM, CALVADOS, Mpipi or FINCHES, I am not sure this is the best paper to read But, hey, at least I learnt about a paper we apparently wrote in 2014 (ref 80) FINCHES: A Computational Framework for Predicting Intermolecular Interactions in IDPs doi.org/10.3390/ijms...

New computational methods conjure up ligands for the famously difficult class of disordered proteins - but how far can they go?

New in JACS! Using NMR, we show how condensates selectively bind and localize ions following the 'law of matching water affinities', shaping condensate composition, interface potential & RNA stability. Read about it here: doi.org/10.1021/jacs.5c07295 @irissmokers.bsky.social

Divine Right of Kings bullshit. This is as Un-American as it gets.

This is actually important. Even after the test, people had the IMPRESSION of having been helped, when they had actually been impaired.

are there fascinating and important uses of ML? of course! but the ‘AI summary’ function injected into ebook and journal platforms, email software, word processors is the death of human thought. right now it’s bad at it, but even if it were a lot better just think about why this is a bad idea

The step-up in anti-migrant rhetoric from the government is shameful and dangerous. Migrants are our neighbours, friends and family. To suggest that Britain risks becoming “an island of strangers” because of immigration mimics the scaremongering of the far-right.

Cowards.

Here’s last night’s story about the recent deportations by the Trump administration, the flimsy pretexts behind them, and what the song “Closing Time” is actually about. Trust us, it’s not what you think: youtu.be/F2hN3JKZ-Go

1/ Great meeting so many inspiring colleagues and friends from the #NMR community at this year’s @enc-conference.org in Asilomar! I rarely travel to the US—trying to keep my carbon footprint low. But how big is the footprint of a #conference like ENC/ISMAR 2025? I analyzed the data. 🧵👇

While this paper looks interesting, let me just say (again) that (essentially all) NMR ensembles in the PDB are NOT thermodynamic ensembles or meant to represent these. They are "uncertainty ensembles" and using them to benchmark machine learning (or other) models of dynamics is not a good idea.

The more skilled you are at a given task, the less useful you’re likely to find LLMs for said task. It’s not that every LLM detractor has never used a LLM before, it’s more likely you’re just bad enough that the LLM seems good in comparison.

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale

I got an email yesterday afternoon that my NSF SPRF Postdoctoral Fellowship was terminated. My grant focused on testing interventions to address online misinformation and I was 8 months into a two year appointment.

Judge Wilkinson’s ruling yesterday emphasized that the Executive and Judicial branches have to show respect for each other. Here is the Executive branch’s considered response, direct from the White House. Degenerates.
