- As promised, here is our first glimpse of the #COVID19 spike protein (aka the demogorgon) in action, courtesy of @foldingathome . More to come!
00:00 - Great progress capturing how the ferocious #COVID19 #Demogorgon (aka spike) opens its mouth to grab its human prey. Each step could present new therapeutic opportunities. Thanks to @foldingathome @Microsoft @Azure #AIforHealth @Mizimmer90!
00:00 - A senior administrator told me to my face that I don't add to diversity because I'm a white male. Funny, because I only know one other blind scientist with a faculty position. Can we please expand notions of diversity beyond what is easily visible? For now, I ordered a blind cane
- Amazing! @foldingathome now has over 470 petaFLOPS of compute power. To put that in perspective, that's more than 2x the peak performance of the Summit super computer!
- Notice your @foldingathome installation is idle? So many people have joined in to support our work on #COVID19 that our servers are struggling to keep up. We're continuing to get more online as quickly as we can. We still need your help, so please be patient with us. Please RT.
- 馃毃The BIG News馃毃 Delighted to share that the Bowman lab will move to @Penn this summer, where I will serve as a Penn Integrates Knowledge (PIK) Professor with a joint appointment in the Perelman School of Medicine and the School of Engineering! @BB_UPenn @pennbioeng
- There are now over 1M devices running @foldingathome ! This includes over 356K @nvidia GPUs, over 79K @AMD GPUs, and over 593K CPUs! Thanks to all our volunteers! We're planning more blog posts on our #COVID19 work/results this week, please stay tuned.

- I wonder how many women would NOT have endured sexual harassment if universities actually held people accountable for inappropriate behavior that wasn't technically illegal. As is, they let people flirt with that line until (shocker) someone crosses it. Ahem, @WUSTLmed

- I've uncovered six separate instances of sexual harassment in the past 7 years, filed 2 Title IX cases on behalf of students, vocally denounced numerous other lesser forms of abuse, and can't get anything done. Thus, I went on the job market and am leaving, in complete disgust
- I've been legally blind for the past 25 years. Last week, I think we finally found the mutation responsible for my vision loss.
- Thanks @jonykipnis for course correcting in response to data! All, please join me in extending grace to Jony. He and I are now working together to encourage @WUSTLmed, @WUSTLdbbs, and @BBSBwustl to make immediate course corrections of their own.This post is unavailable.
