The 3-decade-old competition that enabled the emergence and evaluate of AlphaFold has run out of NIH funding.
The program will be terminated in weeks.
This is terminating success.

Motoo Kimura, one of the most influential evolutionary biologists, passed away 30 years ago today. Today would also have been his 100th birthday. Best known for his neutral theory, he also made many other significant contributions to theoretical population genetics.

BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”
First gig in years. Played guitar and harmonica to an audience of approx 100. Nervous and didn't play my best, but met with smiles and applause. Full disclosure: it was to @StThomasHeaton school, average audience age of 5. Definitely still counts.
Today I started a session with a new therapist to deal with my long-running problem with depression.
Him: You say you feel like you're not good at your job, but you don't have external evidence.
Me: I've just got a grant review - 3 pages of an expert...

A great talk about #DDMut deep learning algorithm for the effect of mutations on protein stability, was given today by @YunzhuoZhou at #ISMBECCB2023! Very interesting work! 👏 – at Lyon, France
Fantastic talk by @ShaunKandathil any #ISMBECCB2023 Real world uses of alphafold.
Fantastic, and thanks to Geert and colleague. It’s hugely frustrating that attendees have to do this though.
Awesome, thanks a lot! I guess there's a need.. My colleague made this one with time slots by row: docs.google.com/spreadsheets…
This is great and thanks Lars. BUT why is this needed? Why did the organisers present the programme info in such an unusable format?
Oops I did it again: A single, searchable, sortable, spreadsheet of all presentations at #ISMBECCB2023 docs.google.com/spreadsheets…
Have fun planning your conference!

I've said it before and maintain it's true: the best days as an academic are those when your student finds out they're going to be awarded their PhD. Warmest congratulations to Dr @Amr_twitting. Just in time for Eid too.

AI helps Manchester scientists to understand congenital heart defects 🫀
Scientists at The University of Manchester are using artificial intelligence to help unravel the secrets of gene mutations that can lead to babies being born with abnormalities in their hearts.

Editors, if the authors have addressed the points raised by referees, then just accept the paper-use your judgement! If there are technically complex points, then send the revision just to the referee that raised the points, all referees do not need to see the revised version
