Thinking back on all this I better understand the pain I feel to see science under devastating attack here. It’s not just about my livelihood or my university. It’s about my identity. And it’s about a pursuit that I see as standing along with art, literature, and music as among our highest callings.

UPDATE: Nature.com has issued a correction: “Correction 14 November 2024: An earlier version of this article stated that AlphaFold3 is now ‘open source’. This is not the case, as weights for the model can only be accessed upon request, and the code can only be used for non-commercial applications.”

Important to remember this for authorship. The previous lab member who generated data/did analysis that didn't make it into the final paper, but helped rule out dead ends, should be an author.

Somatic mutation I'm thinking.
