Now here, from Walter's paper, is a representation of most of the protein-protein interactions so far identified that involve axin. In what sense then does the preceding image offer an actual molecular-scale picture? What is "happening" in real time? (3/3 + 1 to come)pic.twitter.com/IEZatQ8BHB

See, here's a conventional view of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. Note that axin is one of the proteins involved. (2/3)pic.twitter.com/CDiyKBJOgA

This very interesting paper (text of a lecture) by Walter Fontana that I'm reading is giving me a lovely perspective on what I was driving at in this piece (1/3)https://www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/the-chemical-absurdity-of-molecular-recognition/4010924.article …

"A molecule is a structure that electrons have shaped to be comfortable" - Walter Fontana. I have to think about this, but it feels like a nice perspective.

This is a good question from Dawkins. And I hope scientists working on genetics are asking it of their own community: that's the place to start looking. Today more than ever.https://twitter.com/kph3k/status/1224007491421396993 …

Excellent summary from Athene of why cosmetic tweaks and promises of funding are not enough to avert the damage Brexit seems sure to do (and is already doing) to UK science.https://twitter.com/AtheneDonald/status/1224013637305741314 …

Maybe the first Hay Festival I've been to where I am not either sheltering from the rain or wondering when it will start again. I love Wales, but let's face it, it is not Cartagena.

Always good to see reminders that those who bang on about "Enlightenment values" don't actually mean "what leading figures of the Enlightenment actually said".

I wish I could be this optimistic, but the message that despair at worst-case scenarios might not be helpful seems a valid one. One big worry, though, is that tipping points might kick in sooner than originally thought: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-03595-0 …https://twitter.com/ProfMarkMaslin/status/1223153340885995520 …

Fascinating to see just how many on this list are climate sceptics. The venn of Brexit and climate scepticism is exceptionally tight. Confirmation (if needed) that both are the same ideological project...https://twitter.com/MediaGuido/status/1222978075341836288 …
