It is Perihelion today - when the Earth is the closest to the sun during an orbit. But, since our orbit is oh-so circular (e = 0.0167) it can be hard to notice. Here's a made up Earth orbit on the right with an eccentricity e = 0.35 in sync with our real one, on the left.

Hell yeah: nytimes.com/2022/10/25/opini… People often look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them the subway is my favorite part of NYC... but c'mon: it's a whole train network, under the ground (!), that takes you anywhere in the city you wanna go, 24/7, for less than a cup of coffee!

Stories like these are so valuable. There will always be a guy who says “Women just don’t want to go into those careers. Maybe people have different preferences?”, but when you see the reality, it’s instantly clear how far from a free choice/preference the decision actually is.

In addition to *fold, there are lots of structure➡️sequence models out there for "inverse folding". @ginaelnesr and I tried to collect them here: github.com/duerrsimon/foldin… Let us know if we missed any!

Excited to share our new study with the Müller and @SchullerJm labs, online @nature: nature.com/articles/s41586-0… This is T. kivui, an anaerobic bacterium. It uses hydrogen energy to store #CO2. How does it do it? #CryoET revealed membrane-anchored bundles of the enzyme HDCR 🍩 1/🧵

this is a space phage
NASA's cryobot concept for exploring icy moons with underground oceans. In addition to a lander, a nuclear drill and an underwater probe, it will release a swarm of cell-phone-size swimmers. nasa.gov/feature/jpl/swarm-o…

I will be there in spirit. This is so important!
Tomorrow at noon on the steps of City Hall, join @MarkLevineNYC and I for a rally in support of our bill, Int 258. New York City deserves more public restrooms. Let's make it happen.
