If your chemistry department doesn’t mirror the general public (in terms of representation) you have a gatekeeping problem… NOT a meritocracy. 😤
Carolyn Bertozzi on the "false dichotomy" of meritocracy vs. diversity/inclusion: "First of all I'd say that you really can't make any case that your system is a meritocracy if you can't see the diversity of human beings represented." Watch the interview: youtube.com/watch?v=SLFjqdGy…

Tears of queer joy hearing about @CarolynBertozzi winning the chemistry #NobelPrize & Svante Pääbo in physiology, 1st openly LGBTQ+ STEM Nobel winners! Shouldn’t matter, but in a year with so much increased hate & violence it is so important to have these visible icons. #Pride

Packaged our algorithm to design binding peptides into a simple colab. Enter a protein sequence, indicate where you want the peptide to bind, and in a few minutes you'll have a peptide predicted to tightly bind via AlphaFold + Bayesian Optimization. 1/2
