If you are at PASC25 this year, go listen to Reto talk about his master thesis work on rescaling GCsnap2. It was awesome to have Reto with us last year and collaborate so close with the @cflorina.bsky.social and @dmi-hpc.bsky.social to make our tool even more useful!

For future reference, this is the slide (without the bottom cropped) that should have been posted here. Boltz-1 and AF3 are actually performing similarly on the Chymase and Mpro datasets, and differ only on the Autotaxin dataset for still unknown reasons.

This was way back when I was still using pipettes. I was helping a PhD student filling in a box of tips and when it was almost full, pushed it too hard and spilled them all on the floor πŸ™ˆ
