I try not to post science on this website. But Trump's BBB (Big B Bill) will cut NIH by 41% ($18 billion) and NSF by a whopping 57% ($5.2 billion). If you have a GOP Rep/Senator, call them now. I'm calling @SenMcCormickPA: Please restore these cuts to scientific research.

Excited to share our latest work in @PNASNews! Combining simulations and cryo-ET, we reveal how microtubules decide between growth and shortening. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2… @KalutskiyMaksim @microtubule_guy @CompBioPhys @mpi_nat @QMUL @UoDLifeSciences
You may ask: “why study ancient enzymes? Who cares what life looked like 3 billion years ago?” Because evolution may hold answers to problems we still struggle with, and it can guide our efforts. New paper from our lab! 🧵
The attacks on foreign researchers at Harvard and elsewhere are appalling. Scientists from other countries have enriched my education, training and research at every single stage of my career, and have become my closest and most cherished colleagues and friends. If there is a…

my bet on biomedical sciences being the most important field to join — given that most people’s seemingly primary desire is to live longer, healthier lives — has turned to be a very foolish move in retrospect. what people really care about is AWS pricing optimization
