Anyone doing #python development on #macos #osx : the latest "Xcode Command Line Tools" (16.3) seems to be causing maaajor slowdown for many Python operations. Seems to be resolved for now by downgrading to 16.2 from developer.apple.com/download/all...

Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n
Homepage - openRxiv
openRxiv is an independent non-profit, the new organizational home for bioRxiv and medRxiv, enabling researchers to instantly share groundbreaking findings with the global scientific community.

NIH/NIAID/NIGMS research, training, *and* equipment grants made possible the first two atomic-resolution structures of coronavirus spike proteins, all the way back in 2016. But sure, tell us NIH-funded research isn't high-impact.

The Human Neocortical Neurosolver is on Bluesky! HNN is a user-friendly computational tool to develop & test hypotheses about the neural circuits underlying EEG/MEG signals. Our aim is to make comp neuro accessible to a broad community. Follow for HNN science, workshops & development! 🧠 👩🔬 #compneuro

More from inside NIH:
Per a source with knowledge, for all internal research (of which there is like $10 billion worth or so), ALL purchasing shut down as of yesterday.
That means gloves, reagents, anything involved with lab work, which means a lot of that work will stop.

Wow. Here is one to brighten up your morning. The first images of the restored interior of Notre Dame cathedral. Breathtaking. In just five years France did it
