New (honorary) lab member…
At the seemingly unreasonable time of 1:33 this morning, Thu brought a small bundle of baby girl into the world, with her husband Cuong standing (?) nervously by. She has been named Tho, and had all the expected parts on delivery (nothing worse than waiting for back orders). As reported by Cuong: " We walked to the hospital @ 18:30 on 12/2/08 and walked home @ 18:25 on 13/3/08. Not “Two become One” as a song :D, it is “Two become Three” just after 24 hours…. Congratulations Cuong and Thu!
Jacqui hammers Six Foot Track
On Saturday, Jacqui and I ran the Six Foot Track ultramarathon - a particularly nasty 45-km trail run in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. Jacqui had been plotting her revenge on the race since 2000, when she went out too hard and had to pull out half way. Her training this time was disciplined and measured, and it paid off better than even she imagined. She had been anticipating finishing in 6:00-6:30, with outside hopes of slipping under 6 h. On the day, she pulverized her expectations and cruised across the line in 5:33 - faster than my time the first time I ran the race many years ago. She was absolutely stoked at the end, and looked like she could have turned around and run back...
Joel has a good run
Last weekend, I raced in the Great North Walk 100-mile trail run just north of Sydney, and was lucky enough to come in third, behind David Waugh and Tim Cochrane. It was an awesome run with great scenery, and everything went as well as it could possibly have done on the day. Support crew (Jacqui) was superb, and I managed not to get lost, dehydrated, food-deprived or pulled down into the creeks by the 100's of killer leeches on the course.
Wanted: postdoc biochemist/structural biologist to work with Richard Payne, Sydney/US startup INSAMO (and me). Goal: use cyclic peptide mRNA display to design cell-permeable peptide-based protein degraders: https://usyd.wd105.myworkdayjobs.com/USYD_EXTERNAL_CAREER_SITE/job/Darlington-Campus/Postdoctoral-Researcher-in--Peptide-Based-Drug-Discovery_0131612-1

Have been off X for months but had to log in to see response to AF3. I am much less smart than the authors - but am I (and Erin) the only ones to think that the helical afros that it makes out of IDRs is totally weird? Am I missing something?
This is supercool, but it does like folding everything, even things that are probably disordered... As always, use with caution, and consult your friendly structural biologist before investing too much in low confidence predictions.
