I read this book when I was 15 and fell in love with DNA. I re-read it at 32 with lived experience in Science and it filled me with rage. I cannot pick up that book now. It reveals what women were/are up against.

Wonderful concert Sunday night in Cologne. So happy that I got to see Johnny Marr! Great crowd too!

I have a PhD opening in my lab for an exiting project using base editor screens to find novel drug targets. Please help spread the word. candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationI...

We still have an open postbac position in the intramural program of the NIH for starting sometime this summer. Shares, reposts much appreciated-

Peptide Therapeutics Forum 2025 - Last Chance to submit your abstract for a talk! @biozentrum.unibas.ch ‼️Submit your abstract today via ptf25.scg.ch/registration #ptf25 #scs #medchem #switzerland #symposia

SCAM ALERT. This is a fake conference that ripped off my and other people’s names to trick people into registering. There is no such conference that I or the others shown were invited or agreed to. We are working to try to get this fraud taken down from the web. chemsymposia.com

Great news: NIH postbac program is recruiting again! If your grad school plans were affected by program cutbacks or admissions freezes this year I highly encourage you to apply, this could be a perfect opportunity. Please repost. www.training.nih.gov/research-tra...

I’ve unfortunately needed to add more material to my post from yesterday. The re-election of Donald Trump is looking like the biggest act of American self-destruction since the Civil War. Same link, new title and some updates.

Open for nominations: Chemical Science lectureship to recognize independent researchers at all career stages who made exceptional discoveries and innovations in their field within the last five years. Focus is this time on the chemistry of imaging, biosensing and diagnostics. rsc.li/chemsci-lect...

Between 2019 and 2023, researchers paid $8.968 billion to make papers open access. Imagine what else could be done with this money if it wasnt paid to for profit publishing companies... 👉 arxiv.org/abs/2407.16551

I had an amazing time at the #AdvancesChemBio with many interesting talks, exciting posters and inspiring discussions with colleagues and friends. Thank you so much to the organizers from @gfg-chembio.bsky.social for organizing such an outstanding meeting. #chemsky #ChemBio

Here we are, happy to join the community!

Super excited to finally share PANCS-Binders: our group's decade-long quest to accelerate protein binder discovery. TLDR: PANCS-binders is fast (2 days), cheap (pennies), has extremely high fidelity (low false positive and negatives), and high-throughput. 1/n

Also please remember that a review of a person (i.e. author) is done in the context of tenure or promotion reviews. When reviewing a paper, we ask that you please review only the data and its interpretation, not the people involved. We have received many cases like this lately.. 2/

For all those providing reviews of scientific papers–firstly, thank you. We would not have a useful scientific literature without you. Secondly, please keep in mind that your reviews are read not only by the PIs but also students. There is no place for anger or impolite language in a review.... 1/

Thrilled to share our @sciimmunology.bsky.social paper! We report that rodent PD-1 is weaker than human PD-1 (reduced ligand binding & signaling) & lacks a conserved vertebrate motif. Humanizing mouse PD-1 disrupts T cell anti-tumor responses, raising many questions. science.org/doi/10.1126/...

We are hiring! Apply to join our dynamic team as a #chemicalbiology postdoc or research scientist below. Chemical biology: jobrxiv.org/job/universi... Mass spectrometry: jobrxiv.org/job/universi...

Scientists to Follow! As my "Scientists to Follow" list (go.bsky.app/3SyoVNw) reached capacity and I did not want to extend the short list (go.bsky.app/C4URhFa), I made a part 2 with plenty more scientists that post exciting content here: go.bsky.app/9keb2TP Please share this post! (1/n)

Who is messing with your favorite protein Filamin C in stressed muscle cells? 🧩🔬 We tackled this riddle in our latest paper in Scientific Reports. A huge shoutout to former lab mate Anja and Thomas from the @mkoehn.bsky.social lab - this was a true team effort! 👏🎉! A short thread: 🧵(1/5)

Big thanks to Johannes, Thomas Kokot, Bettina Warscheid and everyone involved in this wonderful collaboration!
