I had forgotten to upload the fourth musical abstract! Here it is! It accompanies our paper describing the Int&in web server (intein.biologie.uni-freiburg.de), which we developed to predict active split sites in inteins. Paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Hope you enjoy the song, too :)

The Hypersphere is looking for a new guitar player and drummer. If you live in Freiburg i.B. or nearby and would like to get involved in this creative endeavour, do contact me! We play mostly own songs with lyrics in English and Italian. Some covers (e.g. Maneskin, Bruno Mars). Style: rock/pop. 🎶🎶

I had uploaded my musical abstracts on Twitter, but since I deleted my account some months ago, I decided to post them again here. We start with the first one:

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH

He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested

Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

I go to bed heartbroken. Jannik should have won today. 😔 Ah, tennis is so mental and today Jannik showed that, under that cover of steel, he is a melting volcano… too bad, but next time champ, next time…

A tutti ‘sti gufoni che stanno facendo di tutto per portare sfiga a Jannik: spero che i vostri sforzi falliscano! FORZA JANNIk!! 💪🏼
