Dr. Jane made an indelible mark on our understanding of chimpanzees and other species, and also of humankind and the environments we all share.

She inspired curiosity, hope, and compassion in countless people, and paved the way for many others.

While it’s perhaps trivial in these times, I do hope my art inspires, and reminds colleagues of the beauty of their work. Here is a PAS-B domain in steel and copper that is in the final stages of its build.

A metal sculpture of a PAS-B domain found in proteins. The sculpture represents the protein structure at 50 million times the actual size.

Another beautiful example of a basic discovery sparked by pure curiosity that ends up having immense biological implications. Thank you @brentstockwell.bsky.social for a wonderful seminar and lovely visit! @senkalce.bsky.social

I think people both within science and outside science don’t fully appreciate the miracle that were the Covid-19 vaccines. How much courage it took to get the sequence out, how much work had already gone into figuring out the best viral antigen and how best to present it. 1/

Oh… the good old days when we complained about things like this…. And yes! It does annoy me, and the other things on the thread.

Edward Nirenberg @enirenberg.bsky.social · Feb 21

anyone else get unreasonably annoyed when they go to read a paper and hit "show PDF" and then it defaults to the epub

I have insomnia a lot lately so may as well share what’s literally keeping me up at night.

It’s a long list but tonight it’s flu. Yes, H5N1, but also seasonal flu. Firing federal scientists brings a flu-filled future.

Have you ever wondered how flu vaccine strains are chosen?

If you have been affected by the fires in LA, or are concerned about your ability to keep precious Drosophila strains going during the latest funding crisis, we will host your strains as a backup. Please email me.

Please amplify. If you are also able to host fly strains, add your name as well.

I was in the same boat myself…This is indeed a very welcome and realistic timeline!
