A New Organ Is Shaking the Pews at Trinity Church

A New Organ Is Shaking the Pews at Trinity Church in NYC: Trinity’s organ was severely damaged in the Sept. 11 attacks. At last, its replacement has been unveiled. Hear the sound of its 8,041 pipes.

An interesting model, ignoring also the general concept about where sialylation takes place … and MCP is not exactly the easiest journal to get into … doi.org/10.1074/mcp....

Question is when exactly the viral proteins come together before budding … but many authors don’t understand the difference between recombinant spike and the virus … but sloppiness starts with how students write their reports …

There too many such papers around these days, but now with tools such as fragpipe for intact glycopeptides, there’s no longer an excuse …

Yes, I believe so … as judged by how some people cite my own papers sometimes, never mind how other people’s papers get cited …

My last opera visit of the season @WrStaatsoper
Tchaikovsky‘s Pique Dame (Пиковая дама, Queen of Spades) with Anna Netrebko and (separated husband) Yusif Eyvazov in the main two roles. Whatever one thinks of some aspects of the production, an exciting performance! The conductor was a „stand-in“!

RSC Carbohydrate Group Winter Meeting 2025 The RSC Carbohydrate Group welcomes you to join us in York this September (22nd – 23rd) for our annual winter meeting. This one and half day symposium will showcase the state-of-the-art research in carbohydrate chemistry, with talks from leading national and international experts. This multidisciplinary event covers a wide scope of topics within carbohydrate chemistry, including medicinal and computational chemistry, structural biology, chemical biology and biochemistry. We will also be awarding the 2025 Dextra Award, in recognition of the meritorious work of an early-mid career scientist in the field of carbohydrate chemistry. We anticipate that this event will facilitate networking and engagement within the wider carbohydrate chemistry community, and prime future collaborations. In addition to talks from leaders in the field, we have some slots available for talks from early career researchers (ECRs). This event will also include a poster session, which will provide further opportunities for ECRs to present their research and network with other delegates.
