To be honest, when I see conferences announced that have a majority of male invited speakers, I think the organisers are not trying hard enough. We have so many excellent #FemalesinMS and resources available there is really no excuse for it anymore #massspec #teammassspec #lipidomics #metabolomics

New review on computational design of intrinsically disordered proteins 🖥️🍝 by @giuliotesei.bsky.social @fpesce.bsky.social & 👴

doi.org/10.48550/arX...
Figure 3 from the paper with the caption: "Role of machine learning in de novo design of IDRs. (A) Machine-learning models can be trained on diverse data sources, from molecular dynamics simulations to annotations of cellular localization and protein structures from the Protein Data Bank. (B) Often implemented as neural networks using sequence-encoded features as input, these models can initially be trained on a limited region of sequence space as surrogate models. Through active learning, additional simulations are performed during the design campaign to generate new data, and the surrogate model is retrained on the expanded dataset to progressively improve its accuracy. (C) Machine-learning models have been developed to predict biophysical observables, biological annotations, and protein structures. When combined, machine-learning models can be used to identify a set of sequences that strike a trade-off between multiple design objectives, defining a Pareto front."

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
