📜 New preprint! We developed PoGö, an algorithm to optimize the essential dynamics of GöMartini proteins based on all-atom simulations: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Awesome to see this epic piece of work, led by @cecclementi.bsky.social, finally appear in @natchem.nature.com. The development of a general coarse-grained protein forcefield to describe folding, binding and conformation changes without solvent and all-atom, has been long anticipated!

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence. This is a campaign of eradication. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...

There was a lot of #AcademicFreedom, good scholarship, and independent thought in German universities before Hitler. After Hitler had risen to power, many academics fled the country. Some resisted the Nazi regime and were persecuted. Most adapted to a new situation. Here are some examples. 1/n

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬
