Early bird registration for 𝐄𝐔 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 is open! 🎉🎉🎉 Come join us for three days of protein design fun! (October 20-22, 2025) Direct registration link: pretix.eu/SBD/RCon2025/ Website: europeanrosettacon.org We are looking forward to seeing you!

5 months from funding to shipping our first frontier model. Latent-X achieves state-of-the-art hit rates for macrocycles and mini-binders, with picomolar binding affinities — a breakthrough in de novo protein binder design. Available now on our no-code platform!
This chart makes me laugh each time I see it. Can you name a decision that caused more economic, geopolitical and environmental damage, than Germany‘s ideological decision to close its perfectly fine nuclear power plants?
(1/n) A simple, ultrastable, and cost-effective oxygen-scavenging system for long-term DNA-PAINT imaging Please check out our new study on the benefits of sodium sulfite as oxygen scavenging system for DNA-PAINT. 👇🧵 #SuperResolution #DNAPAINT #SMLM #Microscopy
Crazy rapid heating going on right now in the world's oceans as global sea surface temperatures continue to spike. SSTs are roughly 25 days away from their mid-year peak. Will they break 21.0°C again? The climate 8-ball says that SSTs are the canary in the ... oh, never mind.
Science literacy is collapsing. And with it, the foundations of civilization. People fear vaccines more than viruses. So diseases we once defeated are coming back. They fear GMOs more than hunger. So we reject tools that could feed millions. They fear nuclear more than climate…

This is the biggest risk we face right now:
The zero-sum trap: the more people believe that wealth, status, and well-being are zero-sum, the more they back policies that make the world zero-sum. marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolu…
Today is #NationalIceCreamDay Natural antifreeze proteins purified have been used as a preservative in ice cream
🎉🎉 ljubetic-lab.si🎉🎉 New lab website. We have been working on this in the background for a while, but now it's time to let it out :)
Repeat after me: We cannot afford to not address the climate crisis. We cannot afford to not address the climate crisis. We cannot afford to not address the climate crisis. We cannot afford to not address the climate crisis. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate
I've enjoyed writing this book so much! Kate's work has been my north star since I started researching it a decade ago. Full circle💫
So after 6 years of Republicans calling Democrats pedophiles, they have been exposed at the party who defends pedophelia. Sick

A major scientific breakthrough from the @UW: researchers in David Baker’s lab have successfully used generative #AI to design #proteins that can target intrinsically disordered proteins, molecules that have long been considered "undruggable". geekwire.com/2025/uw-scient…
We're hiring @kemijski ! We aim to translate technologies of synthetic biology toward therapeutic applications, using both protein and RNA-based strategies. PhDs or MSc excited about #syntheticbiology #biotech #proteindesign #RNAdesign are invited to inquire and apply. Pls RT🔁
Next Wed (7/23) at 4PM ET, Professor Possu Huang @PossuHuangLab will be giving a talk about his research! Sign up on our website for zoom links!
🌀Turns out, fold‑switching seems common🌀 ~4‑5 % of globular proteins in E. coli🦠 It's also evolutionarily selected, and largely invisible to vanilla AlphaFold
Breaking News! Code Yikes! The global 2m surface temperature on July 14th set a new daily record. It was the hottest July 14th since records began in 1940 and possibly the hottest July 14th in the last 120,000 years. The climate 8-ball advises taking the under on 17.0°C.
