Science highlight in Shenzhen: Galileo mapping lunar craters, watched by Pierre and Marie Curie, as if observation and discovery are in dialogue across time and disciplines. A bridge lined with 30 bronze statues of scientists turns walk to the library into a conversation with the history of science.

Slower focused search beats rushing. Taxi drivers who drive slower pick up more passengers. Attention > speed. Brilliant work!

Today, @rcsbpdb.bsky.social introduces Q-score in EM validation reports. Q-score assesses model-map fit. A new percentile slider will compare an entry’s average Q-score to the full archive and a resolution-matched subset. This would help judge whether the fit is typical for the reported resolution.

Speak up before more is lost. UCLA lost $600M in federal research grants, freezing work on cancer, neurodegeneration, pediatrics & more. Entire labs, careers, and patients remain in limbo. A devastating blow to US science. Trainees are hardest hit, the community must speak up before more is lost.
Frozen Grants, Canceled Futures: The Human Toll of UCLA’s Research Suspension
A frozen grant is more than halted experiments and lost data; it is a career derailed for many of the trainees dependent on this research support.

Stunning cryo-ET from Peijun Zhang lab: Direct visualization of HIV-1 nuclear import!
Hundreds of viral cores captured entering the nucleus. The NPC dilates to let the capsid through. A masterclass in correlative microscopy that makes it quantitative. A leap for structural virology! @emboreports.org

Mitochondrial transfer is a fascinating phenomenon where cells shuttle mitos. The therapeutic potential is compelling and observational science is solid but the mechanism is a black box.

Dedicated my talk at the opening evening of Biophysical Society proton meeting to Karen Davies.
Karen's work shaped the field of bioenergetics from solving the horizontal subunit-a of ATP synthase to the structures of photosynthetic CI and more. She was a brilliant scientist, mentor and communicator
