Reposted by Dr. XMatti Pronker @mfpronker.bsky.social · 12/09/2025It seems trendy lately to have visualizations of 3D proteins structures generated by AI. These show very ugly artifacts, akin to AI pictures of humans with the wrong number of fingers. It is really not hard to make a visualization of a random protein structure using free software! #AI-slop 3198

He cobbled together an apparatus made of cardboard, plastic bags and duct tape after an explosion crippled the spacecraft as it sped toward the moon. nyti.ms/3Sbusb3 419149842918

Reposted by Dr. XRebecca Fielding-Miller @rebeccafieldingmiller.com · 22/03/2025Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that. 849288099020

Dr. X @philosophaki.bsky.social · 03/01/2025This project united multiple scales of simulation and visualization (sub-cellular to atomistic) to reveal the activation mechanisms of cardiac receptors. Our work reveals the devastating effects of membranous deformations and how they contribute to heart disease; obliterating RyR activation. 0194
