Grateful to be nominated for a @UNM @UNMHSC School of Medicine Staff Award! I was nominated by grad students in the lab and it means so much that they see me as mentor! Thank you! @AllesLab

The 2024 #NobelPrize laureates in chemistry Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have successfully utilised artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins. In 2020, Hassabis and Jumper presented an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, they have been able to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins that researchers have identified. Since their breakthrough, AlphaFold2 has been used by more than two million people from 190 countries. Among a myriad of scientific applications, researchers can now better understand antibiotic resistance and create images of enzymes that can decompose plastic.

Now that I have some time, let me tell y’all about the DISRESPECT that Black In Neuro experienced by SfN staff last night 🤬 We did an #SfN24 “sponsored social” and I am livid with how we were treated. I don’t care what you say to me, but you will NOT disrespect my team.

Thanks to everyone who came to talk about our #machinelearning analysis of DRG neurons at #SfN24 I got lots of questions about the code I use to #automate #ephys analysis and the machine learning #code we used. Here is my #github github.com/DocNessMonster/ep…

This explains a lot 🤣 New research shows #insomnia leads to increase in #pain and that this association is greater in girls.

Many streets near downtown #abq #nm are closed due to #flooding Avoid Central Ave near 1st street. If you drive a small car you probably will drown your engine. #nmwx @citydeskabq #nmwx

So awful. My thoughts go out to #ruidoso. This reminds me of the Cerro Grande fire. I remember escaping and watching my hometown burn down in the national news. Sending so much love.
Confirmed reports of multiple homes and business destroyed in the South Fork Fire in Ruidoso. We’re seeing a lot of hotshots from NM, CO, Arizona heading up the mountain right now. (Not my video. Used with permissions from anonymous viewer)
