Switzerland has lost almost 20% of its glacier ice in just five years. If emissions continue to rise as they have, practically all glaciers in the Swiss Alps could disappear by 2100. doi.glamos.ch/pubs/annualr... 📷 GLAMOS / Urs Steinegger / Matthias Huss

New preprint from Dodonova lab 🔔! Capturing multiple states by cryo-EM❄️, we show for the first time how archaeal RNA Polymerase engages a nucleosome and forms direct contacts with histones! 🧬 Great work by Gabriele & a fantastic collaboration with Dina Grohmann! 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🎉 Out today in Cell: the paper I've been looking forward to sharing for a long time 🎉 We used cryo-ET to find a molecular machine nobody knew existed on the surface of a minimal bacterium, and worked out what it does. 🧵(1/7) #TeamTomo #cryoET

For the first time in a while, the Kennedy Center was brimming with life. Thousands of supporters gathered Friday, surrounding as much of the building as they could, in protest of President Trump’s takeover and closure of the venue.

Thousands rally outside shuttered Kennedy Center, chanting ‘Hands off!’

The vigil took place at the end of a week that saw the doors to the marble building locked shut.

Republicans cancelled votes so they could host a party with billionaire donors in Texas. I’m proud to be in Fort Collins with volunteers to help clean up our community parks. Coloradans are tired of the chaos in DC — and are working together instead to build a brighter future.
