Alex Pretti, wearing a green sweater with his VA badge on.

This is Alex Pretti.

This morning he was murdered by ICE. Six ICE agents held him down and shot him at point blank range. Alex was a nurse and researcher at the VA.

Our thoughts are with his loved ones and we stand united in action calling for the abolishment of ICE.

Listen to this if you bear. Phone call from #Iran. I will transcript (pardon typos).

Over 100 hours of Internet and phone blackout, as the regime commits crimes against humanity. The death toll is now in the thousands. If you care *at all* about human rights, do something. Contact your representatives. Demand accountability. History will not forgive you for looking away. #Iran

If anyone is interested in making bacterial ribosome-nascent chain complexes and studying them using HDX-MS, we have written up a detailed protocol.

Characterise the conformational dynamics of the ribosome, nascent polypeptide and bound chaperones, label-free and at peptide-level

Iran has been under communications blackout for over 60 hours now. Several thousand people have been killed (numbers vary by source, I have seen between 2 and 5000 this morning). Iranians abroad don't know if their loved ones are alive or dead, have absolutely no way to communicate 1/

As a reminder, in the 2019 protests, the Iranian regime killed about 1500 people in less than two weeks. They do this under the cover of cutting internet. This time, they have cut off the internet, phone lines, and closed airspace. This is a crisis. Don't look away.

📣 Talented PhD students wanted: The IMPRS for Genome Science @imprsgs.bsky.social and the DFG Research Training Group GönomiX are looking for you!

Exciting news! We have a new website: omsf.io/alchemistry

Your one-stop shop for everything related to our conference community. 🎉

BTW, registration is now open, so head over to secure your spot! We'll be sharing updates and details about the event.

Bookmark it as there's plenty more to come!

👉Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the #postodc or #phd #position is filled. 📩 Send us your message to explain why you are a great candidate to join the group "Computational Biomolecular Dynamics" of Bert de Groot @mpi-nat.bsky.social 🔗 www.mpinat.mpg.de/degroot #compbiophys

anyone got any advice on the following situation? I wrote and did a big chunk of the admin for a large MRC grant which also also awarded. I am named in the Staff breakdown on the grant as "researcher co-lead" with 100%FTE, and I am mentioned by name as "postdoctoral researcher Maria Niedernhuber"

Welcome to bluesky, Mika!

The Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS) and the newly funded Cluster of Excellence SCALE are seeking several Independent Research Group Leaders to drive theoretical and computational research in molecular and cellular life science.

📜 New preprint! We developed PoGö, an algorithm to optimize the essential dynamics of GöMartini proteins based on all-atom simulations: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Awesome to see this epic piece of work, led by @cecclementi.bsky.social, finally appear in @natchem.nature.com.

The development of a general coarse-grained protein forcefield to describe folding, binding and conformation changes without solvent and all-atom, has been long anticipated!

"A screenshot of an NBC News article headline. The headline reads: 'Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail.' Below the headline, a subtext states: 'The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.' The NBC News logo is visible at the top, along with a navigation bar that includes a 'WATCH' button and a user profile icon."

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.

This is a campaign of eradication.

There was a lot of #AcademicFreedom, good scholarship, and independent thought in German universities before Hitler. After Hitler had risen to power, many academics fled the country. Some resisted the Nazi regime and were persecuted. Most adapted to a new situation. Here are some examples. 1/n
