First Gloomhaven experience tonight: unboxing, punching and organising. Took us the better part of an hour. Decided to finish the evening with a light game: Earth

Trump linkt autisme aan gebruik van paracetamol, wetenschappers spreken van ‘gevaarlijke bangmakerij’

You gotta sit through two hours of conspiracies and lies just to find that one nugget of truth. bsky.app/profile/atru...

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

Dutch late night TV has its take

What's happening with Jimmy Kimmel is about politics and power.

A new CAPRI round is coming up with 4 antibody-antigen targets! The registration opens next Monday (Sept. 22nd). Check it out at www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/complex...

Turkey already demonstrated the most effective response to Russian violations of NATO airspace 10 years ago: Warn them off, and if they ignore the warning, shoot them down. Do nothing and Russia will keep coming. Hit back and they back down. The choice is ours. #Article4 #Estonia

"Bluesky has been suggested as a good alternative to Twitter, but the phenomenon of academics switching social media platforms has not previously been studied." What do you think about this study from Integrative & Comparative Biology? oxford.ly/4mjq5XR @sicbjournals.bsky.social

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

…en dat alle aanwezige mannen ademloos haar laten uitpraten. Ook een unicum.

That's quite true ⬇️ now, but I am hoping the science community here will manage to reverse the order 🤓 I find LinkedIn borderline intolerable, as a continuous list of self congratulatory posts 99% of starting with "I am delighted to announce" or add your synonym for delighted.. 🙄 1/n

Destijds Da Vinci Code gelezen. In het Engels, al betwijfel ik dat de NL vertaling beter te pruimen valt. In ieder geval nul zin om iets anders van de beste man te lezen. Los daarvan gun ik 'm nog vele thrillers, en de mensen die er wel van genieten veel leesplezier. Ik houd 't wel bij de films.

Structural bioinformatics is incredibly powerful on its own or when paired with theory or experiment. One of the PDB's superpowers isn’t from one structure, but comparing many to uncover folds, binding sites, and subtle conformational shifts. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

BBC website leads with live coverage of the Kirk murder and 4 articles. Former President of one of the biggest democracies in the world, Brazil, being sentenced to 27 years in prison for plotting a coup? One piece placed after Kirk. Simply embarrassing prioritisation for a major news organisation.

New online: Computational design of sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins

If you're looking for a daily challenge that isn't a word game, I can highly recommend this It's become a daily addiction, even though I'm not very good at it You learn to hunt for potential clues like landmarks and waterways and types of architecture

Great work from Horia Todor in Carol Gross's lab showing it's possible to predict complexes in "competition" pools in AF3 resulting in the first all-by-all prediction for a species. After length correcting the ipTM score predicts well known interactions and correlating ipTM vectors also has value.

Russia's gasoline crisis is getting worse.

Our results highlight the need for a high-throughput ML method for predicting binding affinity - Boltz-2 is cheap and fast but performs poorly. FEP works very well but is expensive and impractical to run on thousands or even millions of compounds.

Arvo Pärt, who turns 90 on Sept. 11, is one of the world's most performed contemporary classical composers. His music, featured in films like "There Will Be Blood" and “Thin Red Line,” evokes profound emotions and transcendent spirituality. buff.ly/dNPlZz5

NEW — Internal documents from the National Guard shared with the Washington Post show that Trump's federal takeover of D.C. is "leveraging fear" among D.C. residents, driving a "wedge between citizens and the military," and causing "shame and alarm" among the troops.

Travelling from Basel to Paris today, with a transfer in Strasbourg. Only 12 minutes, which I thought tight. I am so naive. The first train comes from Switzerland and is of course right on time. The connecting train comes from Germany, and is obviously delayed.

Carlos Alcaraz surges past Jannik Sinner to win the U.S. Open 🏆 It is Alcaraz’s sixth Grand Slam title and his second at the U.S. Open. The result takes him back to world No. 1, ending Sinner’s 65-week stay at the top of the tennis world rankings.

Transiting through Paris I must look like a local. Even though I have a backpack. Because I seem to be asked for directions by every nonlocal on my path..

There used to be a direct connection between Brussels and Basel. It was a normal train, took just over 5 hours for only €54. Then they built the high-speed line Paris-Strasbourg and the other connection was abolished. I'm travelling to Basel again. I'm spending over €250 for a 6+ hour trip...
