My quote of the day
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.
Johnny Cash

Two molecules of a deer prion protein decorate its head. Misfolded prions can make other prions to misfold causing neurodegenerative diseases in mammals.
Next: PIERCE
Suggestions?

I don't use AI on an everyday basis or nearly at all. I have been looking for a paper which I remember that showed expansion of bio samples so large that they are visible to the naked eye. I asked copilot and it found it immediately. It even gave me a real link that worked. I am devastated.

Has anyone tried using mesoscope.scripps.edu/beta/index.h... and CellPAINT2D to try to illustrate/simulate phase separation? You can make multivalent interactions, but they don't unbind, at least that I can figure out.

Deleting my 20 year old Facebook account. It's harder to do it than I thought it would be. I originally joined earlier than that when my University became eligible to join. But I nuked that first profile in 2004. Downloading your data takes time...plan ahead.

Fluorescence Friday huh? How about this wild spindle from Xenopus tissue culture cells? This was taken last week during out Cell Biology grad module.
I'll try posting a video in the comments to this post. I tried an animated gif already and it didn't seem to work.
