OK. I'll say it. What are we to conclude from the all male @NobelPrize awards in #STEM these past two weeks? 1st. I'm sure the winners were all deserving. There's nothing to take away from them, and that is not my intention. 1/12

A group of researchers have made the first direct observation of how the atoms within water molecules move when excited, a finding that may lead to a more accurate picture of how energy flows during chemical reactions. fal.cn/3i8tO

I repeat- I haven’t been this excited about a discovery since CRISPR. We found something enigmatic that, like CRISPR, is associated with microbial genomes. We have named these unique entities #BORGs

🚨NEW PAPER🚨 It’s very hard to look at a cleft in a protein and predict if that cleft can do chemistry. Can we learn what the special sauce is that makes an enzyme active site catalytic? 1/ rdcu.be/cmIgr @natcomms
