Continuing my irregular contributions to "very unfortunate #GraphicalAbtract ": an oligomer with lots of fans in 1933 Germany... 🤨

A visual summary of a paper, called Graphical Abstract, that presents two routes how oligomers assemble, and which produce an structure that in the figure resembles the sign of the Nazi Germany 1933-45, most likely by accident.

note, it is a figure 1 that was reused as Graphical Abstract by the journal...

It is impressive how little backbone the community has that it can be decimated in just 6 months

100% - the cost of staying silent is higher in the long run.

I just emailed my "Silence" essay to the Presidents/Chancellors and Provosts of the 9 Compact universities as well as those from the 4 orgs with which I have been formally affiliated.

Fred Ramsdell was parked at a campground in Montana on Monday when his wife suddenly started shouting. He first thought that maybe she had seen a grizzly bear. Instead, she had regained cell service and had seen a flood of text messages with the same news. “You just won the Nobel Prize!” she yelled.

Winning a Nobel Prize Interrupted His Off-the-Grid Vacation

Fred Ramsdell found out about his Nobel Prize nearly 12 hours after it was announced because he was on vacation in the Rockies.

true, also true the number 1-2 of 100, important that large majority of male students, in general next generation, are lovely. (i love being a teacher, you can tell :)

PS now following you since I am forever curious about which data visualizations were used in antiquity, and most innovation was in military and economics back then.
Also, love history (studied it for one year...)

a VERY curious case, new to me, is students doing that to me as their professor..... it seems they are just so used to being listened to that it does no longer occur to them to ever listen?

also... stay in touch with eveyone obsessively to line up all the references needed one day. Up to 5 not unusual!

I was REALLY shocked to learn that i did not need 2 referees but often 3, 4, and once even 5!

That was a real problem for me (mom, not much time for networking in PhD or postdoc, was mobile, but could not attend many conferences...)

It was a real pleasure to speak with @numpy.bsky.social creator Travis Oliphant about NumPy, SciPy, and #Python: the Documentary! New @nature.com 🧪🐍 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Python, the movie! The origin story of the programming language comes to the silver screen

The creator of the NumPy and SciPy libraries reflects on their supporting role in the story of Python, now the subject of a documentary.

🌶️ Lipids bring the heat 🔥

Lipids don’t just shape membranes, they influence cellular metabolism.

We show that tuning lipidome composition strongly alters metabolic heat flow in the minimal cell JCVI-Syn3B 🦠

Fantastic collaboration with Karim Fahmy’s lab (HZDR) 🎉

Metabolic heat flow from the minimal cell JCVI-Syn3B reveals the lipidome-dependence of growth and metabolism

The cell membrane facilitates interactions with the environment and serves as an organizational platform for coordinating cellular processes, with lipids playing a central role in determining membrane...

I aim for ♀️♂️ parity in my timeline:
I follow back men and women alternatingly. If I don’t follow you back right away, it’s only because I haven’t yet found enough women to balance things out. There are so many more men here than women (science/tech bubble..)
