Everything I know about Mastodon – Notes from a data witch

A hastily written guide for data science folks trying to navigate the fediverse.

Notes from a data witch
WIRED just published my beginner's guide to Mastodon! Thank you to the 100+ people who responded to my request for tips and advice for understanding the culture here. https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-get-started-use-mastodon/

Hi Fediverse,
It's time for an #Introduction update.
I am a data scientist interested in #MachineLearning and #Protein science in #DrugDiscovery. In previous incarnations I was a chemist / structural biologist in academia.

Expect #Science stuff, #Python stuff, #Karate stuff and lefty #Politics stuff.

Hi all! It's time for an #introduction and first preprint post!

I'm a new assistant professor at Utrecht University. My group uses #biochemistry, #cryoEM and molecular #virology to study cellular entry, replication and assembly of clinically important pathogens such as enteroviruses and coronaviruses.

In our most recent @biorxivpreprint, we describe the selection and structural characterization of a macrocyclic peptide inhibitor of the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein!

#introduction I am a staff scientist at Pasteur Institute in Paris where I study viruses using structural biology approaches, X-ray crystallography and now expanding to cryo-EM. I'm especially curious about the ancient viruses that like to linger and co-evolve with us #herpesviruses #foamyviruses #ERVs, and what we can learn from them in terms of entry mechanisms and origins of the proteins involved in entry. I also like to follow how deep learning methods can help structural biology.
