Most structures in the PDB report one set of coordinates. The experimental data behind them, in both X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM, is produced by an ensemble. New work recovers that hidden signal at scale in over 60,000 structures. thestacks.org/publications/q…

This publication format, with both inline code and commentary from authors and readers is so awesome and needed to be adopted yesterday

Today, we’re thrilled to announce a partnership between @AsteraInstitute and @NSF on the Programmable Cloud Laboratories Test Bed Initiative. The initiative will enable automated experimentation, standardized data generation, and rich metadata capture. We see it as a great opportunity to produce scientific data that is reproducible and AI-ready from the start. This is a natural fit given Astera's long-standing commitment to data-first and utility-focused open science. We’re excited to contribute funding and support to help compound the public benefit of this major federal investment! astera.org/astera-partnering…

Our recent essay competition surfaced a theme: a lot of useful science (null results, abandoned directions, datasets, protocols) is never shared. Why wait? Our Hidden Science Competition is awarding life sciences grad researchers $10K to publish it. More below 👇
We recently launched an essay competition for which scientists described structural problems they run into. With nearly 200 submissions, we decided to give out 8 awards, instead of 3. A quick summary here 👇 1 / 5

Love all the AI-native initiatives for research sharing I’m starting to see pop up across the ecosystem. If you’re building in this space, I’d love to hear from you as there may be some synergies or opportunities across our open science efforts at @AsteraInstitute

We’re still looking for a lot of folks for Open Science at Radial (within the @AsteraInstitute ecosystem) including a data steward, operations associate, as well as an engineer and product manager for the Stacks (thestacks.org/) to work on our publishing platform. If you think any of these roles are a good fit for you, apply now! astera.org/careers/

Replying to @AsteraInstitute
@AsteraInstitute is launching an essay competition to identify systemic bottlenecks to today's science. We're looking to hear from currently practicing scientists first-hand: what is broken? Deadline is May 1st. More below 👇

Interesting chart from the always great @SamRo. I think the take away is correct, but I would like to see more detail. So I used the Shiller data to explore a bit. 🧵 (1/7)
This chart from Goldman is really something

Instead of 1-year returns, what about 10-year returns? No relationship over the full range, but returns are visibly lower when treasuries are between 2-8%. (6/7)

Viewing as a time series exposes some patterns in time, but they don't seem to be driven by treasury rates (7/7)
