When visiting our expansive campus, you might agree that your meeting schedule requires careful route planning and opportunities for sightseeing? =D

The headline invites the interpretation that 20% of chemists admit to falsification to satisfy a reviewer. That is not what the C&EN article states, nor the conclusion from the original source. Since many will only read the headline, I find it misleading.

This headline is misleading and sows doubt in the integrity scientists.

Grace developed a virtual screening approach focused on cavities identified in the (NPSL2) RNA structure. She then validated screening "hits" experimentally.
Importantly, this approach is broadly applicable to any RNA with a known 3D structure.

How beautifully explorative is #cryoEM! We never planned to do this. The vaults just came down with #amyloids from human brain tissue, and Sofia decided to have a closer look.

42 U.S. Code § 284 - Directors of national research institutes

Last week's EO is in clear violation of federal law that gives Institute Directors e.g., the Director of NINDS or NIGMS etc, the final decision making authority in issuing grants of more than $50,000. The Institute Directors know this.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE

After receiving the sad news about the passing of Edwin Becker, I ran across his report in Analytical Chemistry titled "A Brief History of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance". It is a well-written piece that will entertain the magnetic resonance enthusiast. #chemsky #NMRsky pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1...

RFK Jr. pulls $500 million in funding for vaccine development Twenty-two projects, totaling $500 million, to develop vaccines using mRNA technology will be halted, the health secretary announced. “I don’t think I’ve seen a more dangerous decision in public healt...

It’s difficult to overstate just how reckless and incompetent this is.

mRNA technology saved millions of lives during the COVID-19 crisis. Now, RFK Jr. is undermining the science that could protect us from the next pandemic—and putting American lives at risk.

Negotiating with terrorists? This sure looks like a hostage situation.
