This is the moment we've worked toward for a long time: First public disclosure of the @asapdiscovery.bsky.social pan-coronavirus antiviral aiming to help keep humanity safe from future pandemic threats like MERS-CoV and other bat coronaviruses.

15,000 people protested fascism and racism in Amsterdam yesterday.

I was invited, for July, to a scienctific meeting in Telluride (Colorado). I was told it is a wonderful place for a conference, and I was very much looking forward to an exciting meeting in a fantastic environment. I have just canceled my participation, despite having booked already everything.

BREAKING: People are being suspended on X in Turkey for posting videos of these protests against Erdoğan’s corrupt and repressive regime.

Lots of RSC journals popping up on Bluesky (with proper domain names - well done!) including @chemicalscience.rsc.org; flagging for #Chemsky

Today we have published BioEmu-Benchmarks (MIT license): a code to evaluate the multi-conformation sampling benchmarks, MD free energy landscape benchmarks, and folding free energy benchmarks shown in the BioEmu-1 paper with BioEmu or your own model. Some details below 🧵

The currently proposed budget changes to NIH and NSF have absolutely nothing to do with efficiency. They are a full-on assault on science. Trump and Musk want to kill it. Universities who have been silent for fear of losing funds: how’s that working for you? It’s time to fight back.

A view through many Prague towers towards a sunset.

Join us in beautiful Prague to study molecular physics. My group is offering a PhD position at UCT Prague, Czechia related to #protein - #RNA interactions. For more details, visit mhko.science/p/positions/ or contact us directly at positions@mhko.science.

In a great collaboration with @hummerlab.bsky.social and the Kräusslich lab: HIV capsid doesn't break at the NPC; instead, it cracks open the NPC itself! Details in Cell: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... @mpibp.bsky.social @uniheidelberg.bsky.social A thread below:

This is very sad.

😄 Fantastic Idea from Hao!

Welcome CECAM!🦋

Benoît Roux gave two fantastic lectures this week as part of our department's John Ferry Lectureship series in Macromolecular Science. I thoroughly enjoyed the exciting discussions on many topics in Stat Mech!

A sea of high-rise buildings are outlined in bright white lights, forming a Tron-esque landscape, punctuated by red lights on their top corners.

We are hiring postdoctoral associates for lnkd.in/ePm4h4pE Project in collaboration w Mario Motta IBM lnkd.in/e6qpbUSb on Localized Quantum Chemistry Algorithms for Quantum Computers. LASSCF will be integrated with use sample-based quantum diagonalization, recently developed by Mario and IBM

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.

I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/

How a TV Sitcom Triggered the Downfall of Western Civilization Intellectuals have always been persecuted and shoved in lockers, but something in my gut tells me we’re at a low point, all because of one TV show.

As everyone is talking about Friends today, it seems appropriate to reshare this excellent analysis again.
