Over 60 German and Austrian universities, the German Federal Court of Justice and multiple top German football clubs have announced that they will be withdrawing from Twitter (X), due to US oligarch Elon Musk's "discussion" (collaboration) with Germany's neo-Nazi party (AfD) Alice Weidl.

Näin tiede asetetaan poliittiseen kontrolliin.

"Akatemian tehtävien hoitaminen ei saa olla ristiriidassa Suomen kansallisen turvallisuuden, Suomen kansainvälisten velvoitteiden tai Suomen ulko- ja turvallisuuspolitiikan kanssa."
suomenkuvalehti.fi/mielipide/ku...
Kukaan ei huomannut uutista: hallitus vaatii huomioimaan ”turvallisuuteen liittyvät näkökohdat” tutkimuksen rahoituksessa
Luulisi, että esitys herättäisi uutisnälkäisessä toimittajassa kysymyksiä. Aletaanko Suomen Akatemiassa valvoa arvopohjaisen realismin noudattamista? kirjoittaa Anu Koivunen.

My 1st post in bsky is about our latest paper of 2024. Excellent collaboration with @petrikursula.bsky.social @myelincentric.bsky.social & Bradley Zuchero labs. We characterized a set of 🦙 #nanobodies binding myelin protein CNPase. It is online at @jneurochem.bsky.social: dx.doi.org/10.1111/jnc....

Thrilled to share our latest paper in PNAS! We enhanced SAXS with noncanonical amino acid labels to extract both RG and RE of IDPs, addressing key discrepancies in biophysical measurements. Big thanks to Lemke Lab for the amazing ASAXS-inspired T-shirt! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I can only agree! The meeting was excellent, and lots of new ideas and motivation! Who knows - maybe next time there will be more nice protein structures to show! 😇
The Myelin Network meeting in Kassel was simply terrific! Thanks to the organisers @myelincentric.bsky.social @axoglia.bsky.social @Tanya Kuhlmann. Exciting science and excellent socialising.
