Proteins can be described as brilliant chemical tools. They are generally built from 20 amino acids that can be combined in endless ways. Using the information stored in DNA as a blueprint, the amino acids are linked together in our cells to form long strings. Then the magic of

ONE microscopy not only allows 3D reconstructions of protein molecules but also reveals details in GABAA receptors that X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM missed, yet AlphaFold predicted. More here: nature.com/articles/s4158… Nature Biotechnology. Our GABAA receptor work owes everything to

Scientists have discovered key mechanisms in how neurons encode information on timescales that match learning. Published in nature today - Congratulations to @neuroanant, Yoshihisa Nakahata, Ryohei りょうへー and the entire team! #BTSP #NeuroResearch mpfi.org/extended-timin…

Newly awarded literature laureate Han Kang’s work is characterised by this double exposure of pain, a correspondence between mental and physical torment with close connections to Eastern thinking. In Han Kang’s short story 에우로파 (2012; ‘Europa’, 2019), the male narrator,

Over 1 billion people live with #obesity. There is an urgent need for a universal definition & diagnosis. 🆕 A The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology Commission introduces a new model with categories: clinical obesity (an illness) & pre-clinical obesity. This reframing identifies medically meaningful

Thrilled to share our second paper in two days, published today in #NatureMetabolism! Yesterday, we explored food memory. Today, we reveal something entirely different: peripheral vagal circuits can induce a torpor-like state in mice. 🧵 tinyurl.com/4ythktyb

A new technology developed at MIT enables scientists to label proteins across millions of individual cells in fully intact 3D tissues with unprecedented speed, uniformity, and versatility. picower.mit.edu/news/mit-metho… #neuroscience MIT ChemE Dept MIT Science MIT IMES MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences

Machine learning (ML) is revolutionizing genomics, but common pitfalls can lead to misleading results. Here's a thread on how to avoid them 🧵

"Research is messy. … Trying to protect students from that reality does them a disservice." On #InternationalDayOfEducation, take a look back at this #ScienceWorkingLife on teaching students about scientific failure. scim.ag/4joffQj

"... I ended up being reluctant to work with undergraduate researchers at all—until a new student helped me realize what is required to mentor undergraduates, and the rewards it can bring." #NationalMentoringMonth scim.ag/3Cp5C35

Researchers in Science Advances have developed wireless, printable, optically controllable cardiac tissues. The tissue can modulate cardiac beating without invasive electrodes or genetic modifications. scim.ag/4jqBLYN

ICYMI, APS member Yoko Wang (Yoko Brigitte Wang) shared her mentorship experiences as a woman in science with the #ISpyPhysiology blog to celebrate 10 years of Women and Girls in Science: ow.ly/1UQn50UUkSN #WomenInScience #GirlsInSTEM #February11
