Chemical biologist, basketball aficianado, proud homebody. I take my science, not my posts, seriously. Personal account.
That’s high praise!

These bits also seem like cautionary tales for our current moment, in which many parties propose how to “re-make” science.

Looking forward to publishing industry rebranding as anti-AI, anti-bot safe haven (not because they care about quality, but because it’s the last defensible market position)

We have wondered what a complex archaeal cell might look like ever since 2014. It’s been a long road (and the journey is far from over), but it’s a good time to pause for breath and look. These Asgard archaeal cells are a surprise! And that is the joy of being a cell biologist.

This account has a history of hype. A few years ago I remember a similar post about this molecule:

Small molecule targeting of transcription-replication conflict for selective chemotherapy
Gu et al. used crystallography-directed medicinal chemistry to identify a small molecule
ligand of PCNA that interferes with the resolution of transcription-replication conflicts.
This compound was fo...
