Fascinating study sheds light on dehydration tolerant proteins, which proteins tends to be more stable during dehydration-rehydration and more (*not in plants). Protein surface chemistry encodes an adaptive tolerance to desiccation: Cell Systems www.cell.com/cell-systems...

Protein surface chemistry encodes an adaptive tolerance to desiccation

Desiccated cells lose over 85% of their water content and experience widespread biomolecular dysfunction. Romero-Pérez et al. show that the yeast proteome contains a subset of proteins that are desicc...

In this case well deserved is an understatement. Congrats @joeecker.bsky.social you are a giant not in one field of science but two! And yet you are so modest. So impressive, so proud to be a part of the lab!

“Many scholars from historically overexploited countries (often referred to as the global south) expected that exposing the problem would trigger change. Four years on, I see it clearly: the scientific system was never designed for equity,” writes Dolors Armenteras in Nature. #Academicsky 🧪

Equity in science is a beautiful lie — and I’m done pretending

Science isn’t really moving towards equity; institutions are just perfecting the appearance of equity. We need to build an alternative system.
