11.09.2025 20:42 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0Question 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 …
11.09.2025 20:35 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0There too many such papers around these days, but now with tools such as fragpipe for intact glycopeptides, there’s no longer an excuse …

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“!
