Terrible! How is starving US science consistent with any kind of meaningful policy goal?

An intrinsically disordered region mediates RNA-binding selectivity and cellular activities of LARP6 - Nature Communications LARP6 is an EMT-associated RNA-binding protein with diverse RNA targets. Here, the authors show that the N-terminal disordered region of LARP6 promotes RNA-binding selectivity by modulating the adjace...

πŸŽ‰Proud to present our latest paper, out now in Nature Communications: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

RNA Binding Proteins (RBPs) are often full of intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), but what these regions do during RNA recognition is often unclear. 1/10

Here, we propose to measure the concentration of aerosolized particles of love.

We will use a novel detector sensitive to 1 ppm and calibrated to a wide dynamic range.

Our work seeks to definitively establish whether, indeed, as long-speculated, love is in the air today.

It took some doing, but I finally finished it: the coolest mirror on the planet!

(Sorry @esawebb.org.web.brid.gy, hanging out at a Lagrange point is a disqualifier, I don't make the rules)

Dr. Pavan spent decades studying rare diseases at NIH. Today, he’s battling one: first diagnosed with MDS-RARSt and, later, myelofibrosis. A stem cell transplant from his son saved his life, made possible in part by NIH-funded research. Learn more: https://ow.ly/XaWp50XXqtu

Would you feel comfortable sharing your biosketch (I could also email you my work-in-progress document)? I'm at the gathering-ideas phase right now, and am not entirely sure what's permitted vs not...

I have the same question: The instructions says "There is no specific format for referencing the products in this section" and then also says "Do not provide citations on the NIH Biographical Sketch Supplement." πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« #confused

Are any of you happy with how your ScienCV-generated biosketch looks? I'm not quite satisfied with mine (formatting, flow, etc), and would love to look at other examples for customization ideas! Please message me if you'd be willing to swap biosketches (confidentially, of course)!
