My new fav game just leveled up. I’ve gave free Claude a short lived fine grained PAT to “develop” a webapp for me on a repo which has a cloudflare custom domain. Now can “play” on my phone! I keep the free one so I don’t lose myself completely. Neely/radio but is on radio.benneely.com. It’ll grow.

As a German citizen, I am very grateful for the leadership of the EU! But I never thought that I would even be happy with vdLeyen. What Reiche, Merz & co are doing is what we call Filz 🤒 Why does the electorate absolutely irrationally vote for these malign politicians? Reiche is a chemist after all🙄

Pervanadate is more than just a phosphatase inhibitor! Read our paper just published in #sciencesignaling showing that pervanadate oxidises and activates SRC kinase too. Link: tinyurl.com/5ype7e2s Thanks for the 'focus' by: @nshahlab.bsky.social tinyurl.com/54fcjds3 @babrahaminst.bsky.social
Pervanadate-induced oxidation relieves autoinhibition of the protein tyrosine kinase SRC
A widely used tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor also oxidizes and activates the tyrosine kinase SRC.

I read this book when I was 15 and fell in love with DNA. I re-read it at 32 with lived experience in Science and it filled me with rage. I cannot pick up that book now. It reveals what women were/are up against.
