“Mike Levine said to me, ‘Have you seen the proposal? Don’t you think we should respond?’ I said, ‘Are you crazy? . . . Who’s going to give us a million dollars?’ “He looked at me and said, ‘Who else should they give it to?’” Read on➡️ psc.edu/ralph-roskies-… #PSC40

PSC was officially funded and founded 40 years ago on January 17! 🎉 Explore the science and innovation since at psc.edu/psc40/ #PSC40 #PoweringDiscovery

It's 2026—and that means PSC is celebrating 40 years since our 1986 founding! We'll be celebrating #PSC40 all year long. Check out psc.edu/psc40/ throughout 2026 for special interviews on the history and future of cyberinfrastructure as we continue #PoweringDiscovery.

In our cells, 6+ feet of DNA use nucleosomes to compress into a space only a few thousandths of an inch. A team from @CUNY used Anton 2 from @DEShawResearch to understand how mutations can destabilize nucleosomes, and how this may affect cancer growth. ➡️psc.edu/anton-nucleoso…

To beat or not to beat that is the question Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to skip a beat Or pulsate with joy over the heartistry Of an image made by @GEHealthCare Using CellDIVE to see inner workings Of the heart is work not done in vein Tis a consummation devoutly to be wish'd
