I think this is the most useful tool for the democratization of scripts for biological research in a long time.

Great tool. After all, it is not because your manuscript is a pre-print that it does not deserve to be beautifully formatted.

I have wasted the last week of my life trying to install the RFdiffusion/dl_binder_design pipeline in our HPC cluster. The conflicts with the AF2/JAX/pyrosetta dependencies have driven me insane. The info on the GitHub repo is hugely outdated. Is there a kind soul in Bluesky who can help me? please

Professor Ville Hietakangas calls for patience from research funders: the time frame in basic research is long, and financial concerns undermine creativity. Read more in our article: sigridjuselius.fi/en/news/scie...

'Bob’s true test of a perfectly structured presentation was that the speaker should be able to ditch the PowerPoint slides and successfully deliver the same message using only the blackboard (...) most talks would indeed be better when boiled down to the bare basics: chalk board, presenter, ideas.'

I will try to take on the challenge to highlight some of the cool bioimage analysis tools we use all the time. #BioimageTooloftheDay I will start with ijp-LaRoMe, a very nifty Fiji plugin that I use all the time to convert ROI to label images and vice versa github.com/BIOP/ijp-LaR...

To kick off my migration to bsky, a bit about myself. A tale of a non-linear career: > I am a biologist from Brazil. My master's project was on plant pathogenic bacteria. > After my Master's, I worked for 3.5 years in a plant biotech company. Meanwhile, I obtained an MBA studying at night. (1/2)

First post here. Starting the migration from the "dark side". I hope it will be easy to rebuild all connections.
