Looking forward to your talk @jselkrig.bsky.social !!

I tried the same prompt for generating of a high impact fake Cell paper about kinase signaling on 4 different AI models. One refused to do it (yay Claude), the other 3 did without any issues being raised and funnily enough all 3 were about a kinase that forms condensates :)

As a #newPI Academia can feel like a rollercoaster sometimes… That’s why celebrating life ( and share cookies) also matters. Thanks to my team & neighbours for the good vibes 🍪☕️🧪

The first-of-its-kind genetic medicine treats a rare and profound otoferlin-related hearing loss, and will be made available by @regeneron.com for free in the US www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It looks like Anthropic has included fake paper generation in their model alignment considerations and Claude tries to avoid doing it. Maybe we need to make more noise about this in general to get the others model developers onboard with this.

🚨 Job Alert - Please share! 🙏 Interested in 3D gene regulation in development & evolution? 🤓🧬 💥 Our lab at @cabd-upo-csic.bsky.social is expanding! We’re recruiting: ✅ PhD students ✅ Postdocs 💻🧪 Experimental or computational backgrounds welcome 👇 Details below

We have started a project trying to predic the interactions/structures of all yeast protein pairs using an AlphaFold pooling approach. We are making the current dataset open and we welcome collaborations. www.evocellnet.com/2026/03/mapp...

In early-2025 I was reeling from a ‘scored fundable’ grant application that was not funded. I really believed in this grant and knew the ideas were good but the review panel just weren’t into the project and there nothing more I could do. That’s science, but it hurts. (1/8)

Congratulations, Lisa Maier and Stephen Cusack! The two EMBL alumni have received the 2026 John Kendrew and Lennart Philipson awards for their outstanding contributions to host–microbiome research and structure-guided drug development, respectively. Learn more: www.embl.org/news/awards-...

Interested in kinase-driven signaling interactions? Check out our (now peer-reviewed) paper together with @savitski-lab.bsky.social on reconstructing signaling networks from phosphoproteomics data and prior knowledge: ➡️ doi.org/10.1038/s414...

When I first learned about omics at university, I confidently stopped caring about single proteins. Fast-forward 4 years of a system’s biology PhD, I now have the most amazing favorite single protein which I can’t stop thinking about. Here is the story of how that happened 👀
