I just discovered -having been invited to speak there, together with Prof. Shlomo Breznitz- that my native Spain counts with a similar innovative platform.

To date, they have deposited 15% of the human protein structures solved so far and have published >100 papers on their findings. Yet, many scientists still don’t know what SGC does. The next paragraph made me sit upright (my italics): We haven’t spent a lot of time on communication because we wanted to spend the time on science and scientific publications, but we appreciate that if we want our sc...
