Great things come from great teams! Super excited to share rfd4-proteina.org, a step-function improvement in generative protein design! A year in the making with @UWproteindesign , NVIDIA GenAIR and the amazing @DidiKieran @nscorley and @RafiBrent! 🧵1/n

Avengers assemble: 1 year BakerLab + NVIDIA GenAIR = 🔥 rfd4-proteina.org
Presenting RFD4-Proteina, our latest protein design model, significantly better and faster than everything we compared against, both in silico and in the lab! 1/30

PhD Defense(博士公聴会)に合格し、MIT AeroAstro(マサチューセッツ工科大学航空宇宙工学科)で博士号を取得しました!
時間はかかっても良いので、目標は一つ一つ達成していくこと。自分の無知を自覚すること。健康的な食事と睡眠と運動は譲歩してはいけないこと。腹を割って話せる友達は心から大切にすること。自分を客観視すること。自分の感受性は自分で守ること。謙虚さと周りへの感謝を忘れないこと。時間は有限であること。他人と比べないこと。大切なのは目的地でも旅路でもなくて誰と共に歩くかということ。自分の中にある先入観を認識すること。正直に生きること。柔軟に、されど筋はしっかり通すこと。を本当に本当に身をもって学びましたっ!

I’ve tried 5 coffee shops around the San Diego convention center so far, and this roastery (Goldchild Coffee Roasters) makes the best coffee by far!

Researchers including DMSE’s Polina Anikeeva and grad student Ye Ji Kim have discovered that magnetic nanodiscs could provide less invasive brain stimulation, paving the way for stimulation therapies without implants or genetic modification. @AnikeevaLab buff.ly/4f0tYh4

every night before I sleep I say a blessing to this reviewer I once got

ALT “To my mind this is an excellent paper. The manuscript clearly describes an extensive (and very well-performed) body of work. Methods are described in appropriate detail; conclusions are well supported by the results as presented. I really have no suggestions for improvement, the paper is already of publication quality and is likely to be of significant interest to those who study the circuitry and function of the early visual system.”
Replying to @Edel_PLopez
seriously there is NOTHING WRONG with saying that a manuscript is fine as it is and does not need further changes! I think half the problem with peer review is that we all feel under pressure to find flaws, however minor, to show we are doing our jobs.
母校である愛知県立一宮高校で、博士留学・挑戦と変化志向の進路・環境の大切さ、などをテーマに講演させていただきました。生徒の皆さんは将来についてちゃんと考えていて、18歳のころの自分と比べて100倍優秀だなと。こちらも刺激をもらいました。

I visited OIST yesterday and felt it’s one of the best research institutes in Japan. Huge thanks to @Y0ist_2019 for the fantastic tour!🙏
I will be at #Neuro2024 from today. See you there~

I'll be visiting OIST on 7/23! Unfortunately, the campus tour was cancelled for that day. But I'm already excited just looking at the campus maps with "イオン" in the village area 📈
Neuro2024の後に噂のOISTを見学してみようかな。ボストン-福岡と比べたら福岡-那覇なんてついでの距離である。うみぶどうも食べたい。しかしOIST所属は知り合いの知り合いにもいなさそうなのでぼっち散歩かも。
I’m planning to visit OIST this July after Neuro2024, probably alone.
