The Bush Lab is a research group in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Washington. Our research focuses on the development and application of mass spectrometry and ion mobility spectrometry techniques to elucidate the structures and assembly of protein complexes and subcellular machines. #teammassspec #introduction
'In 2018, Robert Mokaya discovered that he was the only Black chemistry professor in the United Kingdom. For a decade, he’d assumed there were others who he hadn’t met — until investigations by the UK Royal Society of Chemistry revealed his lonely status. “Somebody said to me, ‘You’re an endangered species. When you retire, there won’t be any,’” he says. “It is a terrible statistic.”

Structural insights into p300 regulation and #acetylation-dependent genome organisation
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-35375-2
- #alphafold model of p300 suggests that the TAZ2 domain is positioned over the p300 HAT active site
- #alphafold model in the presence of NUT AD shows that the TAZ2 domain is displaced from the HAT active site and suggest that the TAZ2 domain auto-inhibits the HAT domain
- domain truncation and #mutagenesis support the #computational #models !

New platform, new #introduction
I'm a neuroAI researcher and neurotechnology consultant. I'm interested in the intersection of neuroscience and AI: what can AI teach us about how the brain works, and how can we use that knowledge to help people with neurological disorders thrive?
I've worked on this question in academia, in industry (Google, Meta) and in non-profits (Neuromatch). I write papers but some of my most high-impact writing is on my long-running blog, xcorr.net. I'm also the author of the good research code handbook, teaching students how to write code that doesn't bite back, goodresearch.dev.
'The seizure of Z-Library was the latest episode in an ongoing tussle between shadow libraries and state authorities. In 2015, when the academic publishing giant Elsevier took LibGen and Sci-Hub to court in the US, the sites were found to be in breach of copyright regulations and ordered to pay $15 million in damages (they didn’t). In 2020, Elsevier teamed up with Wiley and the American Chemical Society to sue the sites again, this time in Delhi; the case is ongoing, but seems likely to go the publishers’ way. Yet shadow libraries remain effectively impossible to prosecute, let alone abolish'

Hello #ScienceMastodon. We are the British Society for Developmental Biology.
We are here to immerse ourselves in the #DevBioMastodon universe and to keep you informed about the meetings we organise, the grants we give out and all the other good things that we do.
@warkittens I haven't seen the show yet either.
Need a place to send beginner students for microbiome-relevant computational biology training?
For the past 3 years, we have built a virtual course and symposium, attracting over 4,000 registrants from >80 countries.
All materials are freely available, and courses materials can be run/viewed on-demand.
Check it out, and if you like it, please share with your networks! https://isbscience.org/microbiome2022/
BTW, news.twtr.plus pretty much relays all the news accounts that are general news between the birb and here. It's even got the French news I follow.
Go to their main site and look for the account you want or just try to find it by doing a search for the birb @ plus the address of @news.twtr.plus. Super handy.
It unfortunately relays in batches but it's still nice to have news here.
@warkittens I should have added "Republic of"
Tip I wish I'd learned earlier: follow #hashtags. Here's how:
1. Type your hashtag into search (e.g. #introduction )
2. Click the specific best hit in the results.
3. Click the little person with a + symbol on them to follow that hashtag as if it were an account.
Great way to find #newusers from the #twittermigration and posts relevant to your interests!

"The change was pushed by three new school board members, elected in May with support from Patriot Mobile, a self-described Christian cellphone carrier. Through its political action committee, Patriot Mobile poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into Texas school board races to promote candidates with conservative views on race, gender and sexuality — including on which books children can access at school."

What would be a greater opportunity for my first post here other than announcing my first (first-author) paper? A thread:
Despite the increasing attention on the oral microbiome, until now we didn't have a good idea about how it evolves in the wild! In our new publication with Adrian Forsythe, @jfy133, Jaelle Brealey, Christina Warinner & Katerina Guschanski we investigate exactly this! 🦷🦠 https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msac263
I've worked on all of science, from B cells to T cells.
