My main gripe with the alphafold example is how it shows you need decades and decades of high quality data, well structured, open and accessible to train a model -- and yet they always gloss over it and pretend it's just AI and magic. No, we need to continuously invest in real data and FAIR data.

Please spread the word: the Structural Studies Division @mrclmb.bsky.social is looking for a new tenure-track, independent group leader with an exciting plan in any area of Structural (Molecular & Cell) biology, in discovery biology and/or methods development. 🥳 mrc.tal.net/vx/mobile-0/...

Scientists at Canadian institutions have long punched well above our weight despite low and stagnant funding. Spending a billion dollars on external recruitment while science here is starving is exactly what Harper got wrong about supporting research excellence in Canada.

Nice collaboration with the Abankwa lab (University of Luxembourg) on development of peptide-based PDE6D inhibitors, and congrats to our shared PhD candidate Atanasio Gómez-Mulas! doi.org/10.1002/cbic...

I want to highlight this review from Laura Quirion (@jf-cotelab.bsky.social) and Regina Strakhova (my lab) on ARF GTPases. Great read on the atypical nature of ARF/ARL small GTPase signalling, and they make it clear there is still much we don't know! doi.org/10.3389/fmol...

love this work - super cool and nice thread explaining potential evolutionary implications

I am delighted to announce that the UW Department of Biochemistry has opened searches for TWO tenure-track positions. Descriptions and links in the following two posts.

Dear Canadian researchers, faculty, RAs, PDFs and grad students, this letter is for the federal party leaders asking them to defend and expand Canadian research sovereignty with a historic investment in science, please sign and share docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Cool review on a relatively understudied posttranslational modification: oxidation. Our colleagues in the Labbé lab at IRIC have been working to figure out the function of OSGIN proteins in cytokinesis - and its nicely summarized here! dx.doi.org/10.1080/1538...
