Researchers have developed a deep learning protein language model, ESM3, that enables programmable protein design. Learn more in this week's issue of Science: scim.ag/3Qo3HPw

This illustration depicts users lining up to input prompts at a console attached to a machine that represents the language model. Three large funnels represent inputs from public databases of protein sequences, structures, and functional annotations.

Diversity is our greatest asset, even if the government disagrees… They not like us! POC in STEM are here to stay. They tried to rig the game but you can’t fake influence! Mustard on the [Be][At] bro. Happy Black History Month!

Researchers have constructed self-assembled nanopeptides that penetrate cells and target intracellular bacterial infections, which are increasingly difficult to treat due to antibiotic resistance. Learn more in #ScienceAdvances: scim.ag/414fw2q

Self-assembling peptide with dual function of cell penetration and antibacterial as a nano weapon to combat intracellular bacteria

A nanopeptide with “rapid reach” and “lethal strike” capabilities is identified as an executioner of intracellular bacteria.

A new special issue of Science highlights research on Earth’s frozen places—from the Arctic to the Antarctic—and how it’s changing due to climate change and the geopolitical challenges this important work faces. Learn more: scim.ag/4jPYRID

Climate change in the polar regions of our warming world is threatening to transform many of its features, such as this icy tableau in the Fish Islands off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. There is still much to learn about these places before we know better what those changes may be.

World Athletics banned transgender women from competing. Does science support the rule?

Some researchers say decision is discriminatory and not based on evidence

This is how you do it. Thank you @sicbjournals.bsky.social Read their whole email to membership here mailchi.mp/sicb.org/sic...

an email from the society for integrative and comparative biology that reads "Attn SICB Members:

The past few weeks have been a stressful time in our scientific community, and we want to make our position clear: The Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology unequivocally condemns recent attacks on scientific integrity, funding for scientific research, and the importance of broadening participation in science."
