If you’re applying to your dream lab for an internship/PhD/postdoc, always send a second email 1-2 weeks after the first one if you don’t hear back.

I promise we will be grateful rather than annoyed. My email inbox is a disaster and I’m quite junior - and very few of us have secretarial support

So much wisdom from Jane Goodall over the years. But I believe the 'difficult women' quote, @jay.bsky.team, is by Karen Karbo. Still iconic.

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended.

It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous.

It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy."

Because that's not how America works.

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.

Pam Bondi knew.

Kash Patel knew.

Emil Bove knew.

And they made the investigation go away.

A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Certainly looks like we scared the President away from Chicago. Fighting like hell works.
“They are a progressive city, and they don’t want the president’s help. That’s on them. It’s horrific that they don’t want President Trump’s help.” “Chicago should be begging Donald Trump for help to keep Chicago safe,” Bondi added. “Yet, they aren’t so we’re going to go into a city who wants us there.”

Preprint: De-novo design of proteins that inhibit bacterial defenses

Our approach allows silencing defense systems of choice. We show how this approach enables programming of “untransformable” bacteria, and how it can enhance phage therapy applications

Congrats Jeremy Garb!

Not-so-mutually beneficial coral symbiosis: Current Biology www.cell.com/current-biol...
Not-so-mutually beneficial coral symbiosis
The partnership between corals and their intracellular algal symbionts has long been a textbook example of mutually beneficial association. In this essay, Mikhail Matz argues for an updated view in which the coral acts more as a farmer of algal cells to support its own growth.

Examples of protein annotations across functional classification schemes. Yellow: hierarchical classification schemes, red: orthologous/homologous groups, and blue: methods using protein domain information. Protein structures were generated using the ColabFold Alphafold MMseqs2 interactive notebook (version 1.5.2) (57) and visualized using ChimeraX (58). (A) Functional labels associated with the glycogen synthase protein in Escherichia coli (UniprotKB P0A6U8). (B) Functional labels associated with Kehishuvirus sp. tikala major capsid protein (NCBI WEU69752.1).
