Someone at @ESA failed Microbiology 101 - Kombucha does NOT contain cyanobacteria or any other organisms that produce oxygen. Would love to know the actual science story behind this travesty of a press release. @Gizmodo @justineldees @joyfulmicrobe @markowenmartin

Today we're making RF Diffusion, our guided diffusion model for protein design with potential applications in medicine, vaccines & advanced materials, free to use. The software has proven much faster and more capable than prior protein design tools. bakerlab.org/2023/03/30/rf-d…

Crooked Lawyer Thread 1/ I am troubled by a pattern. And am stunned this does not get more attention. In the Trumpomob there is a web of crooked attorneys. That is a kind of 'turbocharging' of the criming conducted around Trump. This is not NEW. Goes back DECADES Let's Thread

I’m no structural biologist but this is a fascinating thread. Many structures deposited to PDB by a notable/prominent US lab appear to works of fiction —wherein computational tools were used to “hallucinate” high res structures that aren’t backed by authentic primary data.

ANATOMY OF EVIDENCE-BASED OPINION WRITING Since I wrote the line in the @washingtonpost op-ed in question, I'll happily explain both my sourcing and reasoning for doing so. This was based on multiple lines of evidence.

ANATOMY OF MISINFO There is a dubious line being spread in a Washington Post op-ed today that "One thing everyone involved in studying the origins of SARS-CoV-2 seems to agree on — FBI and Energy Department included: No laboratory modification of a virus was involved." Really?

I recommend listening to Dr. Worobey. In 2021, he co-signed a letter to Science magazine calling for an investigation into a lab leak origin of COVID-19. But he later found that the data strongly pointed to China's illegal wildlife trade 🧵xitter.cf/MichaelWorobey/status/…

1/16 I recently gave a public lecture about SARS-CoV-2 origins that touched on some of the myths & misinformation promoted by some proponents of a lab leak origin (below). But I'd like to discuss a couple others here that I didn't have time to get into. youtube.com/watch?v=jTJG4GFY…
