Tertiary structure comparisons between 23 experimentally determined small RNA structures and the best structure prediction selected from 18 different groups.

The latest RNA-Puzzles paper is out (CASP for RNA structure prediction). Check how wild some of the best predictions are for these small RNAs. We're still a long way from a reliable AlphaFold for RNA.

The font of chemical knowledge Nature Chemistry - The font of chemical knowledge

This was published a little while ago in @naturechemistry.bsky.social, but has just popped up in my issue e-alert. This is a delightful correspondence about fonts and chemistry; very much appealing to my inner chemistry nerd 🤣 #Chemsky

PhD Alert! We have a fully funded (UK residents only, I'm afraid 😟) #NeuroSkyence PhD to move towards developing an at-home EEG system to monitor sleep oscillations for brain health monitoring and early dementia diagnosis. Please share with your network!

An absolutely incredible opportunity to work with a fantastic new PI. From personal experience of having worked with Ferdos 10/10 highly recommend!

Congratulations! 🙌

You wanted starter packs to be searchable. Our engineers are busy keeping us online, so in the meantime, an independent developer built a new searchable library of starter packs. This is the beauty of building in the open 🦋
