In case you are not quite sure how to contact your members in the US congress: www.votervoice.net/Shares/BAAAA...

Good old strand displacement and promiscuous T7 RNAP going after single stranded 3′ overhangs for sensing and signal amplification 🧬

DNA-PAINT walks into immunology and says "I came here to do two things: chew bubblegum and fast volumetric nanoscopy, and I'm all out of bubblegum" 🧬🎨😎

Now throw in the use of LLM-based chatbots to the peer review problems. @jameszou.bsky.social echoes the current wisdom: don't use what ChatGPT generates as is! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Aside from its witty name, WithdrarXiv gives a pretty interesting insight: "Unlike biomedical fields where plagiarism often leads withdrawals, most arXiv retractions stem from factual or methodological errors (37%) and incomplete work (19%)." arxiv.org/abs/2412.03775

Join us at the FNANO conference this year! Deadline for submissions Feb. 1. www.fnano.org Attaching an actual sign from the conference hotel, great that they help us keep people attending the talks instead of enjoying the mountains!

Abstract submission for FNANO is now open! They’re due Feb 1! Join us at molecular programming’s annual celebration of design, interfaces and applications (and also skiing) 🧬 www.fnano.org

We should all learn from condensed matter physicists 🍝 www.nature.com/articles/nma...

Happy New Year! 🎉 If your 2025 resolution is to finally get your lab life together (read: #NewPIs), you’re not alone. A few people have requested I share how we use automation to survive: 1️⃣ Recruitment & Scheduling 👩‍🔬 2️⃣ Finance & Ordering 💸 3️⃣ Alerts & Emergencies 🚨 So here goes!—A 🧵... 1/n...

I never got to meet Sir Fraser Stoddart, but his work inspired me tremendously... May he rest in peace...

I knew that M.C. Escher's "Depth" inspired Ned Seeman to found DNA nanotechnology, but I had no idea that his other work, "Rind," inspired Jane Richardson to invent ribbon diagrams to abstract 3D atomic structures of proteins 😲🧬 (image from phys.org/news/2013-11...)

We really stand on the shoulders of giants...

What's your favorite paper of the year in molecular programming? 🧬👀

Wait, I don't have to spend hours contemplating and introducing staple breaks one click at a time in cadnano anymore? And structures fold better!? I wasted my life away 😂🧬
