🚨 All right, since this is a place of sanity now, let’s kick things off with an open PhD position in my team to work on simulating glycans and their interactions. If you’re passionate about computational biophysics and glycobiology, go ahead and apply! Any shares would be greatly appreciated. 🙃

Follow all your favorite @rsc.org journals now on Bluesky! Let the posting begin! 🥳🧪 #chemsky go.bsky.app/QAaTTZ3

Good morning! Day 1 of #CHDI2025 is kicking of NOW! Get ready to follow along for some exciting Huntington’s disease research over the next 3 days.

Huge congratulations to Laura for being the first PhD student to graduate from the KT lab! Laura did amazingly well both during her PhD (on Hsp90, of course) and in defending it. Big thanks to our examination and assessment committees and the chair of the session! 🧪

I have an opening for a PhD student in my lab @unigroningen.bsky.social to explore the dynamics of the cytoplasm and its connection with metabolism. Application until March 18. For more info: heinemannlab.eu/wp-content/u... We are a cool lab with amazing, happy people. 😃 Please distribute.

Join us Tuesday, February 25th, at 5 PM Paris/ 11 AM Boston/9.30 PM Delhi for a tutorial by Prof. Claudia Avalos: “Characterizing Photoactive Materials with Magnetic Resonance Tools” #NMR #NMRchat

Charles Darwin published his book Descent of Man #OnThisDay in 1871. In it he wrote: "It has often been asserted that man’s origin can never be known, but ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge."

Bravo @plos.org! US exec orders "stand in direct conflict with our core values, our mission, edit policies" "PLOS will not compromise on issues of scientific rigor & editorial integrity... we seek diversity because more expert voices make for better science" theplosblog.plos.org/2025/02/plos...

So close! DNA is the DNA of life.

How is it that I, a PhD program director at Pitt, heard about this from the media and not my University?!?

BIG news: Jason Chin is leaving the Division of Protein & Nucleic Acid Chemistry of @mrclmb.bsky.social to spend yet another billionaire's ££ in Oxford. This will create a gap that will need filling! So, if you're thinking of making a move, now is the time to reach out! www.eit.org/news/profess...

We all owe @jeremymberg.bsky.social a debt of gratitude for his work in clarifying, connecting, and advocating for science in this chaotic time. 🙏🏼

Which universities have the most retracted articles - and the highest retraction rates? For @nature.com, here's a first-of-its-kind analysis of retractions by institutions. Full details in the story. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

ATTENTION (PARTICULARLY NIHers) If anyone has information about the numbers and types of folks in your institute, center, office, or whatever who were were terminated, please share them with me by DM or on Signal (jeremymberg.78). I am putting together an inventory.
