The real skill is turning that comment into a question.

Pre-ACA, I was a postdoc on an NSF fellowship at a university that didn't offer employment benefits to independent fellows. At that time, being a woman meant that my premiums were double that of my male counterparts. The extra cost came out of my grant's budget for benefits, equipment, and travel.

There's always a new low. Which is bad in itself, and says bad things about the US government. It also reveals more bad people who are willing to just follow orders, and help bad government do bad things.

I have finally found a way to gid rid of the discover bar on the Amazon Kids profile on my child's fire tablet. Just in time for traveling

We're told ion high school and college biology that proteins are hyper specific and have exact mechanisms, substrates, and products. It becomes so difficult to make someone an expert that understands biology is complex, proteins are promiscuous and EVOLUTION IS NOT OPTIMIZATION

Eulers formula is for crystalline solids. Proteins are more plastic than crystal. One small push from mankind, one giant shift in assembly geometry. www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/16... Others have shown compensatory mutes can save this nearly (but not completely) dead virus.

As someone who tries very hard tonl communicate with people the way they wish, I will now be using this emoji excessively when speaking to people younger than me. Because that is whack. If you dont know what whack means... bfy.tw/UQbK

Some great years ahead for #teamtomo in the Netherlands🥳🥳 Congrats @fridof.bsky.social and the team!

When your department holds a #retreat, is it actually a retreat, or just a conference called a retreat? #AskingForAFriend

I am hiring! - looking for a Staff Scientist to co-run my research group with me. Staff Scientist is a senior professional scientist role at EMBL. Please forward to people you might know who could be interested! embl.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/EMBL/j...

Any other #cryoEM people have a problem with this?

The only woman of color on the board of trustees of the University of Utah was not recommended for reappointment to the board by a committee at the state legislature because she used the word “equity” twice

Rick Baker (UNC Chapel Hill) giving a great talk on Clathrin meditated transport. His group does cutting edge cryoEM and biophysics. And if you hadn't heard UNC is gearing up to install a brand new Krios. They have an Artica and.... They are hiring at all levels! (Subscribe to ccpem mailing list)

Deep in enemy territory

I give you Vladimir Kitten.

If you are interesting in developing new algorithms for #cryoEM as a #PhD student or as a #postdoc, then do email or DM me. We have exciting opportunities coming up.

Rutgers Newark is hiring multiple new profs who work in microbial pathogenesis, structural bio, human/microbial genetics, genomics, biochemistry, or computational biophysics. I loved doing my PhD at Rutgers and I LOVE New Jersey. Reach out if you’re applying and have questions about the school/area.

When you send a department email highlighting "engaging with community" but all your examples are "building communities" that are ISOLATED from the general public, you are actually segregating from the community, i.e. #FAILING as a leader and a scientist.

Ask yourself, as a scientist with federal funding, why are you only here on bluesy hiding from the public. Why aren't you reaching out to the public. If you're only on here, you're part of the problem just as much as Trumo is. Get back into the public

Save the #boobies! #cancer #awareness Support a great cause and get totally scientific, politically correct (?, was politically incorrect a few years ago) 🤔 Either way! support the fight!

We have a preprint of a book chapter for you: Structural Analysis of Membrane Proteins in Cell-Derived Microvesicles. We describe how to image membrane proteins in mid-sized vesicles using cryo-electron tomography zenodo.org/records/1717...

Trump:No data, no problem! When the Trump administration said last week that it would stop requiring thousands of industrial facilities to report their planet-warming pollution, the move fit a growing pattern: If data points to a problem, stop collecting the data. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/c...

Shocker... -_-

The reason there wasnt an outcry for other killings the way there was for Charlie Kirk was not that such person was liberal and he was conservative. Its that people knew who he was. He was outspoken. He was well spoken. He reached out to the public. Trumps rampage aside. More libs need to reach out

More public funding for basic science is a sound investment that makes us more prosperous.

Person: I will never believe that methanol has to be used the in the production of [product]. they can just use ethanol Me: Yeah, ethanol just doesn't work well for that Person: They're not that different! I'd bet it works! they're just driving up costs and lying to us ...

My awesome Drosophila colleague Akhila Rajan at Fred Hutch (Seattle) is recruiting both a staff scientist and a postdoc to study fat–brain communication, innate immunity, mitochondrial signaling, and brain senescence.

Outrageous! "Just another" corrupt establishment? Theoretical physics is clearly the coolest corrupt establishment we have. (More seriously, it is true that physicists are going to have to do a better job in educating people about what they do and how they operate.)

We should make all illicit drugs legal! The drugs aren't to blame, those addicts killed themselves

50+ school shootings this year. the flags dont move, but one civilian male adult dies and the flags go to half. Thats some fucking bullshit. How about for 18 the veteran suicides each day, or every child killed by gun violence. I'm about to run for president. The flags will stay down for the kids

Nobody: Me: You can just use #Word online People odler than me: It will be too slow Me: You can play #Fallout #NewVegas in a web browser People older than me: What about the original?! Me: Definitely People older than them: But you cant play #Morowind? Me: You do realize you're getting easier?

People ask me why I'm not fed up with the crap people in the federal government. You haven't met my inlaws. Practice that's why.

Good insight here about interdisciplinarity. It's not just getting people from the right fields in the same room; it's about getting the right people, those who are honestly open to learning about the questions and methods of other fields. (Something @sfiscience.bsky.social is so good at.)

Federal officials have agreed to restore health- and science-related webpages and data following a lawsuit settlement with doctors' groups and other organizations who sued.

Happy to share a new preprint from the Clarke & Vallese (@fravallese.bsky.social) labs reporting #cryoem structures of two RBC stomatin complexes – with AQP1 & UT-B - continuing the SPFH theme from our recent vault preprint! This was a fun one and has been cooking for a while - read on for more! ⬇️

A standardized, realistic phantom dataset consisting of ground-truth annotations for 6 diverse complexes serves as a community resource for benchmarking cryo-ET algorithms. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is why you need #academic #research labs, because #industry sort of gave up on the #phaseplate when they "realized" DECIDED it wasn't worth the #money to develop.

Great opportunity for a recent PhD graduate to apply molecular dynamics and gain cryo-EM experience on an exciting project. Beautiful campus, world-class research institute, and a highly supportive, collaborative lab.

No, but I become capable to have managed the time that I have already lost. I'm at a dynamic equilibrium where the skill goes up, but i add even more, so the result is the same. But I am better at not caring about the small things so much

I have been waiting for this since everyone was freaking out about ChatGPT in 2021. Easy and obvious solution. Good ol' blue book! 3 hours, 3 pencils, a completely new-to-you prompt. GO! get wrecked. They should've never gone away.
