Dr. Mann, We Read Science Under Siege. This Website Is What You're Warning About.
An open letter to Michael Mann. You identified five forces threatening science. AI is the force multiplier. This website is the proof of concept.

What can I do if my idea has been plagiarized?

I had Claude make this as a mini-game for Relay's disconnect screen (like Chrome's dinosaur), but then pivoted to stand-alone. In this game, you have to find Euler angles matching the target projection, i.e. cosplay RELION. It can be pretty hard. Works on mobile too! warpem.github.io/euler-hunt/

Can you find the Euler angles of a cryo-EM projection?

It’s a lonely job, leading a research group (professor, principal investigator, group leader – whatever you call it). You talk all day with everyone, but you’re mostly alone with the doubts and risks of the biggest decisions.
Does it have to be though??

Here's another deep field image from JWST.
There's something pretty amazing hidden within it, which I'll talk about next.
But open up this image and lose yourself in this almost impossibly vast view of our Universe.
The six-pointed features are stars in the Milky Way. Everything else is a galaxy.

LLOMe has long been used to study lysosomal damage, yet how it works has remained a mystery.
Using cryo-electron tomography, we show it forms amyloid structures inside lysosomes that mechanically rupture membranes – revealing a new paradigm for lysosomal failure.
