Congratulations to Bjarne Feddersen for his work on benchmarking umbrella sampling workflows for PMF calculations of membrane permeation! Systematic work that provides guidance on how to approach these to minimise compute resource. @oxfordbiochemistry.bsky.social. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

So it is out! 🎉 I am so excited to share our preprint with Fabio Sterpne and @baam93.bsky.social on the development of a force field for oligourea foldamers, new self-assembling polymers of unnatural amino acids, designed for water desalination membranes. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Biochemist Elizabeth Bugie co-discovered streptomycin (with Selman Waksman), the first antibiotic against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Waksman went on to win the 1952 Nobel Prize for Medicine & took full credit for the discovery. Bugie died #OTD in 2001. #WomenInSTEM #MatildaEffect (1/2)

On this 1st April I'm happy to release a technical report from our startup MirageBio, describing a new protein structure model with state-of-the-art performance. jgreener64.github.io/posts/techni...

Use the AI-Powered 3D Structure Similarity Search This new RCSB PDB feature delivers faster and more scalable structural comparisons across experimentally determined and predicted Computed Structure Models (CSMs).

L'évènement #ReCombinaisons est de retour à @pasteur.fr en 2026 avec un programme alléchant ! (On y retrouvera notamment @jeanneadebats.bsky.social et @audreypleynet.bsky.social !)

Book review 📚 These women helped to shape quantum mechanics — it’s time to recognize them go.nature.com/3Ls2yYu

The chance encounter of an economist, a pathologist and physicist resulted in a highly multidisciplinary study that used an epidemiological model to trace the spread of rumors in the early days of the French Revolution. I had the chance to cover this fascinating research for @nature.com

I LIVE for catchy methods names and funny conference presentation titles

It's inevitable

Studies point to several reasons why fewer women than men are submitting their work https://go.nature.com/3HlUFS8

Et voilà, les plus grands spécialistes de tout, les fameux toutologues, commencent à annoncer que l'on a trouvé du phytoplancton intersidéral.... Nous, scientifiques, devons faire attention à notre manière de communiquer. Ce n'est pas le moment de perdre la confiance des citoyens !

Given discussions at I had at #ESCMIDGlobal, it might be useful for new researchers to know how a journal editor screens submissions (obviously this is my approach and so it might differ for others).

We (@sacquin-mo.bsky.social, Chantal Prevost and I) teamed up with @etiennereboul.bsky.social and @ataly.bsky.social to design a parallelized MDAKit implementation of the Proteic Menger Curvatures. Local protein dynamics and backbone flexibility have never been easier and faster to compute 😁

Research suggests that contrary to scientists' worries, there is no reputational penalty for shared first authorships, even for the person named second ― at least under experimental conditions1. https://go.nature.com/4c46IPm

Academia’s often misguided view is that resilience is the ability to adapt and overcome challenges or adversity, but such an attitude can mask a toxic lab culture, say some researchers. https://go.nature.com/4kv5ro4

Shame on you @asm.org, shame on you.
