Did you know that court docs for name and gender changes are not confidential? You can google a trans person’s current name and find their old, dead name — and vice versa. In CA, my amazing bud Hazel is working to fix this, and she may just be successful. My latest for @sfchronicle.com

Changing names puts transgender Californians at risk. New protections could be on the way
A new transgender privacy bill in California would make official name changes confidential.

Pretty amazing that nonprofit Watch Duty -- which says it has 150 volunteers working around the clock to track wildfires -- has become the most trusted source of information on LA fires. Operated by retired/volunteer firefighters, dispatchers, and reporters. Real people.

If people find MSA subsampling useful, they will likely find MDGen very useful and they will definitely find BioEmu useful.

Thanks! Also check our update to CDR clustering where we modified the D score as max over all dihedral distances including omega, instead of average. Also electron density cutoff to detect peptide flips. Eliminated lots of small CDR clusters with poor density. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
A penultimate classification of canonical antibody CDR conformations
Antibody complementarity determining regions (CDRs) are loops within antibodies responsible for engaging antigens during the immune response and in antibody therapeutics and laboratory reagents. Since...

When my daughter came out to me, she asked if being gay was “natural.” A classmate suggested otherwise… As a professor of animal behavior, I shared 2k+ examples from the animal kingdom! Those became a book, & today it’s still #1 top release and #3 best seller. #LoveWins
