Finally announcing Bonito.jl! 🎉 A Julia web framework that went from "neglected prototype" to something I'm genuinely proud of.

Reactive UIs, rich widgets, Makie integration, deploy anywhere (Jupyter/VSCode/web/static HTML)

We tried to set up a simple demo/tutorial model for the protein design ecosystem we've been developing, and it turned out a bit more interesting than we expected. 🧵

This was a team effort from a few people in my lab, including @antonoresten.bsky.social and others (not sure who is on this app)

My lab, at Karolinska, in Stockholm, is looking for a PhD student with a computational/quantitative background to work on probabilistic/generative models of proteins (structure and sequence). The research will involve methods development, and applications in vaccine design.

Wenn es nach CDU/CSU geht, sollen in Deutschland bald Atomkraftwerke und Fusionsreaktoren Strom liefern. Aber wie realistisch ist das? Ein Blick zu den jüngsten nuklearen Projekten zeigt: Atomstrom ist unberechenbar – bei den Kosten und Bauzeiten.

Kernkraft: Der teure Traum der Union

Die Union und Friedrich Merz wollen zurück zu Atomkraft. Über die hohen Kosten und langwierigen Bauzeiten wird nicht gesprochen.
