Looking forward to contribute!
I attended a summer school on Spetses 🇬🇷 just as I was beginning my PhD. Looks like I will be going again in 2026 with "Lost in Integration vol. 2". Details to follow.

Looks like OpenFold3 has been formally released in a public "preview". Not quite on parity with AlphaFold3 on a few benchmarks shown, in particular for antibody interactions. All info on the github link. I am sure we will hear more about this from the developers github.com/aqlaboratory...
