Fil RH #CNRS de la semaine #ESR #SNPTES #VeilleESR Des nouvelles du baromètre social au CNRS ? Je grille la politesse à la DRH qui a prévu prochainement une communication sur les résultats du barom social lancé en janv ; et bah, en voici qqs éléments, en exclusivité mondiale ! (pas du tout) 1/14

New preprint🚨 Imagine (re)designing a protein via inverse folding. AF2 predicts the designed sequence to a structure with pLDDT 94 & you get 1.8 Å RMSD to the input. Perfect design? What if I told u that the structure has 4 solvent-exposed Trp and 3 Pro where a Gly should be? Why to be wary🧵👇

La science n'est pas toujours d'accord avec notre intuition. C'est pour ça qu'on fait de la science : pour ne pas seulement suivre le bon sens (celui qui peut nous faire croire que le soleil tourne autour de la Terre).

You asked, we listened. Millions of AI-predicted protein complex structures are now available in the #AlphaFold Database. This spans homodimers from 20 of the most studied species, including humans, as well as the World Health Organization’s priority pathogens list. www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/t...

"AI" is not a stochastic parrot.🦜 I wrote this piece a couple weeks ago, but it was hard for me to finish up given AI's role in society and war over the past few weeks. I should share it at some point though. Not perfect, but here it is. medium.com/@margarmitch...

holy shit

I wonder... 🤔🤔🧪 #chemsky a) what program did the authors use to make the original (left) figure in the paper? Wild guess, ChatGPT b) how such high school science level of disgrace pass peer review in @nature.com? Note this was Fig.4.a NOT in SI www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We are currently recruiting PhD students, postdocs, and a group leader to join the Institute. If you’re interested, please send me a personal message or email your CV and a brief motivation letter to: [email protected].

The IBS in Grenoble has an opening for a three-year postdoctoral researcher in SNaX team of the DYNAMOP group. The aim of the researcher is to advance data analysis tools for time-resolved serial X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM. For more information, see instruct-eric.org/jobs/postdoc...

We;re hiring Junior Group Leaders! 🔬✨ We’re looking for researchers in immunology, chemical biology, AI in biology, or protein design to launch their own independent groups in our collaborative, international environment. www.nki.nl/news-events/...

“Moss has been downplayed by Mondrian scholars for years, but she is one of the few top-tier non-figurative British artists from between the wars, and she was the only Briton and the only female artist who appeared in all five Abstraction-Creation journals.” www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

This is a framing error, NYT. It's different technologies. Chatbots are not the same as the machine learning involved in reading scans (better defined inputs, clearer evaluation of outputs). Calling both AI is like conflating bombs dropped from planes with cars, because they both involve explosions.

Faire des citations scientifiques correctes c'est une choses. Mais encore faut-il qu'elles soient pertinentes. Et en testant sur un sujet sensible… ce n'est pas gagné 1/16

“The costs of competing for grants can exceed what the grants are worth”, wasting public money. Two models minimise the overhead of grant writing and evaluation: – lottery – per capita funding www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Le cannibalisme fait partie des comportements attestés dans la lignée humaine depuis près d’un million d’années. Une nouvelle étude rapporte qu'à Goyet, en Belgique, des Néandertaliens ont consommé des femmes et des enfants venus d’ailleurs, preuve d’un cannibalisme sélectif.

It looks like the us government has invented the time machine...

Arriver à s’étonner des dérives de Grok en postant sur son compte X, c’est consternant… vous alimentez X et Grok, vous êtes une part du problème. Les RSN et les IAG sont des terrains d’influences idéologiques et géopolitiques, on doit les réguler et vous pouvez les couler en les quittant…

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫
