This one is a bit of a departure from the usual and definitely a work in progress!
We found that by using ab initio reconstruction at very high res, in very small steps, we could crack some small structures that had eluded us - e.g. 39kDa iPKAc (EMPIAR-10252), below.

RFK Jr. is upset that a recent large Danish study in Annals of Internal Medicine, conducted over 20 yrs in 1 M kids, found no association between aluminum in childhood vaccines & 50 different health conditions.
His request for the retraction was rejected.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

I wished Columbia had done the right thing, too.
“No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” Alan Garber, Harvard’s president, said about President Trump's demands. nyti.ms/4jzSS9W
