If you need a scale bar to know how big a hot dog sausage is, you've got a bigger problem: you've never had a hot dog!

We've got to get past these ultra-long checklists when we are finalizing a paper. I'm not convinced they do anything for scientific integrity, and just succeed in raising my blood pressure. If you're going to cheat, you're going to cheat, no form is going to stop that.

It’s an honor to receive the ACS Chem Biol Young Investigator Award! I’m most grateful for the contributions from all past & present lab members — it is an award for all of you as much as for me. (& also grateful to still be considered young 😅) axial.acs.org/chemical-bio... @acsbiol.bsky.social 1/2

This was one of the more edifying (and entertaining) conversations I’ve listened to in a long while. If you want to understand Musk’s radicalization and what he wants to do.

It is not the dissertation, tenure or retirement, but finding a good collaborator which is truly the important event in your career.

Calling all Dylan fans: @quillette.bsky.social has published a review of the new biopic -- which focuses on the folk years (1961-65) -- by one of his contemporaries, the great Ronald Radosh. It's a marvellous read quillette.com/2024/12/26/p...

I've been trying out o1-pro for the past few days. It's seriously impressive compared with o1 and has been super useful for updating my knowledge of two fields (electrochemical production of formate and H2).

worst part of bluesky is spending 5 min deleting punctuation and coming up with clever abbreviations to get post under 300 character limit. this was a feature on twitter I never missed.

First sabbatical thing done: putting up Knockout Sudoku patent in my office. I'm probably more proud of this than any degree or award.

www.nature.com/articles/s42... Paper on ASR protein ML published (congrats @danasmatthews.bsky.social and everyone else not on Bluesky). Some interesting bits - ASR can generate quality synthetic data, local sequence density important, and evo relationships can yield smoother fitness landscapes

Our new paper is out in PNAS! We engineered bacteria to display enzymes that sea sponges use to mineralize their glass skeletons. These bacteria can self-assemble a bioglass coating around themselves, and focus light into bright, photonic nanojets. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Agree. How do we change this?

How do you accelerate rock weathering and mineralization of CO2 without breaking the bank, part 2? Joseph Lee shows how Gluconobacter can be far more effective than organic acids, and drops the amount of sugar carbon to sequester a molecule of CO2 from 525 to 1. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hello Bluesky! 🧪 We are the students in the Ando Lab at Cornell. We study the structure and dynamics of enzymes using biochemical and biophysical tools such as x-rays and cryoEM. 🧬🧶 Here is a brief introduction to our recent work! ⬇️ 1/5
