The find of the week for me is RustSASA.
So fast and easy to use!

I had to work around with `rust-python-sasa` instead of using `MDAnalysis`, because I work with coarse-grained systems in MARTINI. But even then, it gave me ~6x speed-up on my analysis🙌

Very exciting to talk at the OxBacNet meeting held at @dunnschool.bsky.social

Summarising mine and @sykhalid.bsky.social collaboration with @augustsilale.bsky.social to investigate a new ExbBD motor structure using molecular dynamics (foreshadowing the manuscript in preparation)
