21627 applications. Nothing to celebrate here. Impossible to evaluate fairly & safely. Neither the science (too diverse & possibly LLM generated) nor the soft criteria (likely LLM generated). Without an interview stage - a security risk!

RNA selectively modulates activity of virulent amyloid PSMα3 and host-defense LL-37 via phase separation and aggregation dynamics
RNA selectively modulates activity of virulent amyloid PSMα3 and host-defense LL-37 via phase separation and aggregation dynamics
RNA differentially regulates the assembly pathways of bacterial and host α-helical peptides, revealing supramolecular architecture as a tunable determinant of cytotoxic and antimicrobial function.

I wrote this quickly at a bus stop and didn't realize it would go viral, or else I would have worded it better. But the point is that the media is too credulous about AI killing everyone in 10 years (how?) when climate change is killing people now and will only get worse (we know exactly how).
I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

Happy Rice Truck Day to all who observe
4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.
On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day
So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga
