I enjoy doing things I am not very good at doing.
I stop paying attention immediately once someone uses the word "bayesian".
Yeast CDS1:p is an enzyme embedded in the ER membrane (grey = TM), but lacks an ER targeting signal sequence. Using this diagram (observed pS/T), label the orientation of the TMs. How could you use this distribution to provide a limit on the PTM assignment error rate in the underlying information?
Data centre power requirements wouldn't be such a problem if rather than paying a discounted commercial rate they had to pay a significant multiple of the highest commercial or residential rate (I'm thinking 10x).
I actually kind of like the way they left the markup in the Abstract. If you don't understand what "$K_d\approx{10}$ nM" means intuitively, why are you reading this article?

What, exactly, is the point of a university giving one of their senior administrators (who already has a PhD from Cambridge) an honorary PhD? Unlike scientists on TV or in the movies, real PhDs treat people with multiple degrees as though they have a diagnosable mental illness.
And, for my US based friends, answer the most important question for any grant: "How does your proposed research demonstrably advance the President’s policy priorities?"
#proteomics_101 Estimate the cost of assigning the functional significance of the well-known pS acceptors in the 3 subunits of the yeast Pan1-Sla1-End3 complex.
Proposed new US funding rules: We can cancel any grant at any time

Peer review now optional, political staff would screen grants for forbidden topics.
