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
