A thoughtful piece on what it means to be a postdoc: *independence is about moving forward without all answers *use science conversations to make sense of uncertainty, beyond presenting results *a postdoc is as much about learning to think & adapt as it is about generating data & publishing
eLife@elife.bsky.social · 2d agoA postdoc comes with challenges and uncertainties different from those of a PhD. In this ecrLife blog Vartika Sharma shares how managing expectations and building a community are key skills that can help us navigate the new uncertainties of a postdoc.

🎉 Happy #RNADay! Congratulations to the winners of the 2026 @rnasociety.bsky.social RNA Day Art & Baking Contests! Special thanks to Lexogen, the exclusive industry sponsor of the 2026 RNA Society RNA Day Art & Baking Contests, for supporting this initiative.
Bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, coexist in an evolutionary arms race with their bacterial hosts on Earth. But what happens when that arms race moves into orbit?
In orbit, viruses evolve new ways to kill bacteria
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin publish findings from studies on the International Space Station, showing how space accelerates the evolution of viruses that infect bacteria.

ICYMI: New online: A coupled TOM–TIM22 supercomplex in human mitochondrial protein import
A coupled TOM–TIM22 supercomplex in human mitochondrial protein import
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, Published online: 31 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41594-026-01852-1TOM and TIM22 complexes facilitate the transport of carrier protein substrates into mitochondria. New work shows that, in human mitochondria, these two protein complexes form transient supercomplexes to facilitate protein biogenesis.

COMMENT| Z Tang, Z Hu et al (Nantong Uni, Tsinghua Uni; CN) Authors discuss #metabolism as a biochemical language through which #AI systems can gain mechanistic understanding of how molecular states govern physiological function 🧪
Metabolism as the biochemical language for mechanistic biomedical AI - Nature Metabolism
Artificial intelligence (AI) excels at prediction but often remains disconnected from biological mechanisms. We propose that metabolism may serve as a biochemical language through which AI systems can gain mechanistic understanding of how molecular states govern physiological function.

Online Now: Distinct sources and effects of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species Online now:
Distinct sources and effects of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species
Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) serve many cellular roles, and emerging evidence points to individual sources of mitochondrial ROS (ISOMRs) as separately regulated and localized contributors. This review explores ISOMRs and their distinct functional effects across different cell types and biological and pathological contexts.
