I can’t believe these prices at my daughter’s high school. $8 for a cup of noodles? $6 for a soda? $8 for a pack of gum? Cafeteria food is much cheaper but still, they should make prices a bit more affordable for students.

Just heard from someone who had a 1% grant not funded through NIMH.

Why?

Perhaps no payline for 2026?

2025 all full up?

Unclear. But totally bonkers and indicative of the complete gutting of the NIH/NIMH senior and grants processing peeps.

The ones who remain are working so hard.

Sofia Lövestam's vault structure is now online in Structure @cellpress.bsky.social. 🥳

How beautifully explorative is #cryoEM! We never planned to do this. The vaults just came down with #amyloids from human brain tissue, and Sofia decided to have a closer look.
