Today in my PI and I live in different worlds. He wants to look at some protein structures using alphafold and suggests I email David Baker if I have any questions. Sure, I also have some questions about Catholicism, should I email the pope about them?

@EpiEllie @ShalitUri Is there really a meaningful difference between any timeline? Gaza has two land borders, both closed to Palestinians. Secondly, it’s not like there’s a place for the ~1.1mm people to go, because baked in to the order is a “so we can level the city” so they’re not going back soon.
