About that exclusive, "closed-to-press" MAHA summit last week with RFK and JD Vance: I got in. Here's what I saw. 🧵 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

🧪How does an ABC transporter 'know' nucleotides & substrates bound to far apart binding sites? Using 1H15N, 19F NMR, HDX-MS, PET-FCS & activity assays with Neuweiler, Marcoux, Orelle & Jault labs, we found a communication hinge! 😍🥳 @microverse.bsky.social @lifeprofile.bsky.social rdcu.be/ePm4C

This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen. By Emma Murphy, International Editor, ITV News. #Gaza

We are excited to announce the first in-cell structure of a LINC complex within a native nuclear envelope at subnanometer resolution!! #In-cell cryo-ET + #atomistic MD simulations! @tomdendooven.bsky.social et al!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Photo of the Day. Israel threatened reprisals if the press filmed Gaza from above during airdrops. This is why. A scene of destroyed & burnt out buildings in what is left of Gaza City, the pre-war home to 800,000 people. Credit to Post photographer Heidi Levine who defied the ban & took this.

Dear all, we are looking for a research assistant in protein biochemistry / cell biology to support our work on nuclear reshaping in human cells. Here the link to the call, please spread: mrc.tal.net/vx/mobile-0/...

Palestinian activist Odeh Hadalin (a.k.a. Awdah Hathaleen), who was featured in the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, was shot to death in the West Bank on Monday.

this is what beit hanoun looked like (from arabi21.com/story/155862...)

having blown up all the hospitals in Gaza and normalised killing starving people who are queuing for food, this: killing women and children queuing for supplements at a medical centre. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

Israel's attack on Iran, yet another demonstration of its contempt for international law, was also a smokescreen for yet another step in the ethnic cleansing and annexation of the West Bank. Israel is laughing in the face of the West's fake support of the 2 state solution

Babies can only have milk. They can’t even have water. Since Israel is banning all aid including baby formula, these babies will die. And since Israel is also starving everyone in Gaza, moms can’t nurse their babies either. They’re just watching their babies die as they die to.

Breaking | Israeli occupation drones set fire to the tents of displaced Palestinians in Jabalia refugee camp, northern Gaza Strip. #Gaza

So, for those killed and those whose voices are silenced: what more evidence do you need? Will you act now – decisively – to prevent genocide in Gaza and to ensure respect for international humanitarian law? This Council must prevail. Demand this ends.

Finally, it's out in Nat Commun! Excellent collaboration with my colleagues and friends in Frankfurt, especially @ihaenelt.bsky.social and Janet Vonck. This work demonstrates the role of the intrinsically disordered N-terminus of KtrAB in channel opening. Full story here: rdcu.be/elDYO

Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

Sad news 😢 Karen was one of the first people I met in Max Planck She was amazing scientist

Sad news about Karen Davies' passing. Karen was an inspiration in bioenergetics and cryoET. Her pioneering postdoctoral work on ATP synthase and respiratory supercomplexes marked turning points in the field. I created Scholar profile to acknowledge her contribution scholar.google.com/citations?hl...

Harrison, whose plasma contained a rare antibody, rolled up his sleeve 1,173 times from 1954 to 2018. The Australian is credited with helping 2.4 million babies and advancing scientific research.

I’ve seen children die of -influenza -COVID -pertussis And wouldn’t wish those experiences on anyone. Know what these things have in common?! Effective vaccines that save lives.

📉 Life Expectancy in Gaza Plummets A @thelancet.bsky.social study reveals that life expectancy in Gaza fell by 35 years during the first 12 months of war (Oct 2023–Sept 2024) - nearly halving prewar levels. 🔗 www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... #Gaza #SciComm 🧪

In my 9yo son’s class some kids repeatedly sang the “ausländer raus” song. I emailed the teacher, the principal got involved and apparently told the kids to not sing the song because it makes my son sad!!! I was like “Wait, what?! That’s not the main problem here.“ +

In the present discussions about NIH and the need for reform, two recurring points I am seeing are: (1) NIH doesn't fund truly high impact research (2) NIH needs to experiment with alternative approaches to peer review, particularly for high risk-high impact research 1/n
