Secret Statistical Santa: At the end of the 3-day @imprs-cbp.bsky.social statistics workshop, each student came up with three statistical questions for another student to answer.

It has started. Gemini Pro used Grokipedia as a source.

**Job Alert** Exciting postdoc position available: theoretical and experimental cryo-EM studies of flexible biomolecules. Competitive salary, collaborative environment at NYSBC and Flatiron Institute. Please share!! and contact: [email protected]

"For our scientists" 🧪 By ellecordova on Instagram

📢 New #preprint alert! Our review "RNA Dynamics and Interactions Revealed through Atomistic Simulations" is now available on arxiv.org/abs/2507.08474 ! Written by @bussigio.bsky.social and @ollyfutur.bsky.social

If you draw from a distribution, but you don’t like the outcome, then it’s a hallucination.

Authors of scientific articles are far too often utilizing things, when they are actually just using them.

If you are interested in postdoctoral research on ligand-gated ion channels and the synapse, or simulation/AI methods for structural biology - drop me a line if you'll be around at Biophysical Society in LA! #bps2025 #bps #biophysics

New preprint: VTX: Real-time high-performance molecular structure and dynamics visualization software Congrats to all co-authors, especially to the project leads: @maximemaria.bsky.social and @matthieumontes.bsky.social #compchem #compchemsky #biosky #hpc

PhDs in biochemistry, structural biology, pharmacology, or similar, located in the US and with strong publication track records and a high motivation to solve Parkinson's, please send CV directly to me at [email protected]. Repost appreciated.

During my PhD I experienced severe anxiety and depression, along with suicide ideation. Thankfully I got help and I'm still here. As a student I went to find a book mental illness and how to cope during a PhD and didn't find one. That's how "Managing Your Mental Health During Your PhD" came to be.

What was a good moment for you in 2024? Here is mine: I had spontaneously decided before the lecture to illustrate Bayes theorem with Nate Silver’s example about the tragic events of 9/11. I did not have the book with me, but the students did a terrific job and the example worked beautifully!

@plumed.org is finally on BlueSky 🦋!!

Do you want to work at the interface of molecular simulations, structural biology experiments and #AI? Come to Paris for a PhD at @pasteur.fr 1 PhD position is available in our lab funded by ERC_Research. Please repost!! #compchem #compbio Info 👇 research.pasteur.fr/b/15Hr

Proteins do it all. Hemoglobin ferries oxygen around the body. Keratin structures hair, nails and skin. Insulin helps glucose convert into energy. The fold of a protein is critical to its function. Yet no one really knows specifically how protein folding happens. 1/15

We were incredibly disappointed with the lack of code or executable accompanying the publication of AF3 in @Nature . This contradicts scientific principles of the ability to evaluate, use, and build upon existing work. zenodo.org/records/1117.... Sign to endorse: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Why "back calculation" for the calculation of experimental observables from a "forward model", e.g., molecular model. Why not "forward calculation"? Why not "back-calculate" non-observable parameters from experiments? Is there a reference? @lindorfflarsen.bsky.social @carlocamilloni.bsky.social

Back then when I did my PhD, a fellow student told me that any typo I find in his printed poster, I can cut out and keep! I guess the same applies to "Encoding prior knowledge in ensemble refinement", which is out now. doi.org/10.1063/5.01...

We suggest to use the energy uncertainty in the force field to encode prior knowledge in ensemble refinement of MD. It is determined in the coarse space of observables. See updated doi.org/10.26434/che.... Thanks @carlocamilloni.bsky.social for your feedback!

Have you ever wondered how to properly balance information from theory and experiment? If so, check out our preprint. If not, check out our preprint. In any case, please share.

I felt so confident that the number of draws is n and not k that I've actually corrected the Wikipedia page en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperge.... Not that I have made the world a better place. But it still feels nice.

My biggest beef with LateX and bibtex are non-sensical error messages.

Thanks @chhdellago.bsky.social for the invite! Bluesky looks quite cozy. I guess chances are better than ever that ALL of my (two!) followers will like a post from me.
