“In nearly every industry, the United States’ most transformative innovations over the last eight decades depended on government funding, because the government was the most patient and reliable actor willing to take on risks for the public benefit.” And China will reap the benefits.

Science is under attack. The NIH, the NSF, and our research universities. So today, I have a message for America's scientists: youtu.be/MeoZDPy5cIY?...

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

The CCP4 Structural Biology Summer School on macromolecular crystallography (MX), electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) & associated techniques is July 31st to August 8th at the University of York - Provides training in the latest advances in structural biology - Learn More zurl.co/9RWzN

Lux Capital & @wolfejosh.bsky.social are launching the Lux Science Helpline - a $100M commitment to support American scientists whose research is threatened by funding cuts, bureaucratic hurdles, and career roadblocks - that expands our Lux Labs program. www.luxcapital.com/news/our-hel...

The jury is clear on this one

My colleague sent me this paper and said she missed her bus stop reading it. I opened the link and was pleasantly surprised to see it’s a game-changing paper from a great team! Congrats!

The 26th West Coast Structural Biology Workshop is in the books! It was a great conference - a big THANK YOU to everyone who participated!! See you again in 2027 🌅

Last day to register and submit your abstract for the West Coast Structural Biology Workshop. Don't miss out!! wcsbw2025.macromolecules.xyz

By @katherinejwu.com "The NIH... supported 99 percent of the drugs approved in the U.S. from 2010 to 2019. The agency has had a hand in “nearly all of our major medical breakthroughs over the past several decades,” The NIH is in a struggle for its (and our) lives. This is existential to America:

Excited to meet some of the students recently admitted to our CBC and QSB grad programs at tomorrow's Grad Visitation Day at @ucmerced.bsky.social. I'm also excited about my annual office cleaning, which coincidentally, was today 😅

How do distal mutations contribute to enzyme catalysis? Our new study, in collaboration with @thompson-lab.bsky.social, Marc Garcia-Borràs, and @ferranfeixas.bsky.social, reveals how they optimize structural dynamics & local electric fields to drive the catalytic cycle. 🧵👇

There's only a couple days left to register for the West Coast Structural Biology Workshop!! wcsbw2025.macromolecules.xyz Don't miss out on this fun and inspiring meeting... We are inclusive of all structural biology techniques (and structural biologists), and have an exciting program planned.
