Thrilled to share #MorganLabatND's first pre-print! 🎉
In this paper, we challenge the prevailing view that protein loops are "floppy noodles" and instead, uncover their complex molecular recognition with small molecules.

@CabanaChemistry I want to see the $ per unit productivity basis, also considering that the training of a researcher is a very valuable product for the US economy.

Important (underrated?) metrics:
- Funding/person
- Compliance effort
- Duration
- Length of proposal
Tech Labs vs standard NSF:
- $10-50M/10-50 vs $100-200k/1-2
- Other transaction vs full rules
- 5+ years vs. 3 years max
- 5-8 vs 15 pp
BIG DIFFERENCE! nsf.gov/news/nsf-annou…

@CabanaChemistry And why exactly should academic labs suffer with funding of order $100k per person with another research institution receiving order $1M per person? National labs are also much more expensive on a unit labor basis.
