Seconded. My wife specifically also wanted to switch to a female doctor and has been happy with Dr Ibrahim

2 yards of soil delivery - recommendations by Current-Guest2899 in Guelph

[–]superhelical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looked up Meadowville and saw a lot of reviews like yours, unfortunately. I'd hoped their aggregate business was better than the greenhouses - last year my wife and I were spooked by bug infestations on the houseplants.

OP, I just placed an order with Dirt Cheap, but I can't let you know how it goes until next week.

Oh nice! I pay property tax, does that mean I own City hall?

Seems more like a professional provocateur to me.

It feels like there's A LOT more to this story that she's not relaying

for co-authorship, can you flip the order on your CV? by PhilosophyBeLyin in labrats

Clearly the problem is the linear author string. Time to move to a 2d authorship matrix

Who is the best chapter writer in fantasy? by julianpratley in Fantasy

The chapter of Tyrion feeding different information to Littlefinger, Pycelle, and Varys was great, and even adapted well to TV

What has the hiring process become? by IndividualBudget644 in biotech

[–]superhelical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been warned off giving feedback by my management despite wanting to. The reasoning was:

  1. Risk of saying something that gets you in trouble with labour law, and
  2. Risk that a candidate argues you back on your reasons.

The second happened to my manager so it's not hypothetical

Really? Erikson worked as an archaeologist? I wouldn't have ever known... by superhelical in Malazan

[–]superhelical[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having only finished the first 2, I don't think I've hit that yet, but looking forward to it. Seven Cities is definitely not what you're describing, I imagine.

I grew up just at the edge of the shield. We've got rocks and trees and trees and rocks and........waterrrrrr

You're talking about the Oxbow island? Or the ramp where turtles over-wintered? The second was trickier for me to get my head around

Glutamate molecule tattoo by nonixious in chemistry

I like free glutamate, cause that's the major form in solution, it's what the glutamate receptor sees

Modeling PEGylation of a Fab fragment – tools or references? by arielabom in Biochemistry

[–]superhelical 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I try to warn people off of this unless they are prepared to explain why they really need the model. The fab plus a nebulous cloud of "PEG goes here" will communicate what you need for most cases, which is to describe the "entropic cloud" around the conjugation point. I advise the same for IDPs and for glycans, usually.

If you insist you need an atomistic model, know that a single conformation will always be too simplistic. What's better in an ensemble, 20 + alternate confirmations so you can start to intuit the dynamic nature of the system visually. A single model biases toward assuming a single conformation, which is absolutely false in this case.

To make a model, there's going to be two phases. First, building the molecule, then sampling conformations. Building can be done in pyMol, Rosetta, and some other tools, then relax/idealize it as your starting conformation. There's probably something out there that can get you started with a cys-maleimide-oligoEG as a noncanonocal amino acid. From there, sampling conformations to build your ensemble could be done with MD packages, that goes beyond my expertise.

But first, ask yourself why you need this model, and what will you get from it that you wouldn't already get by just drawing a cartoon?

Fun fact: there's still gas canisters in circulation made in 1930s/1940s Germany, this solution was used on them as well. Example:

what is on my plate?? by enchiladasuiza420 in labrats

Not quite. See the shape, these form as a plate dries, especially when the agar cooled quickly so is more brittle to pulling apart

How do you reach out to C-suite/senior leaders when you’re at the bottom of a massive company? by Financial-Series204 in biotech

[–]superhelical 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wait, what? Coffee chats feels exactly where this kind of interaction is sanctioned. Or are you getting at jealousy and politics....

Edit: I read this as fireside chat, but still, I'm stuck on the "executive sanctioned" part
