Many of you may have heard the terrible news of Dr. Meng Chen's sudden death. I just found this tribute from UC Riverside cnas.ucr.edu/news/2026/09... and a beautiful review article he contributed to @plantphys.bsky.social earlier this year, "25 years of photobodies" doi.org/10.1093/plph... 💔
Finally a more intuitaive way to learn pLDDT/pAE? 😎 sokrypton.github.io/protein_figh... (Character idea from @hannes-stark.bsky.social & Alex Waldherr)
🏅 Congratulations to Prof. Dr. Isabell Hensen on receiving the GfÖ Honorary Medal 2026! @unihalle.bsky.social The award honours outstanding and forward-looking achievements in ecological research and contributions to the scientific community. #NSOGfÖ2026 @nordicoikos.bsky.social
Fantastic news! 🎉 Huge congratulations to @marischuster.bsky.social, one of the PIs in #SNP2Prot, on receiving an ERC Starting Grant. This outstanding achievement recognizes pioneering research and opens exciting opportunities for future discoveries. @erc.europa.eu #ERCStG
