Hosted in November 2025 by the University of California Davis, this course provides a practical, beginner-friendly overview of modern AI/ML tools for protein structure prediction and design, including AlphaFold, ESMFold, ProteinMPNN, and RFdiffusion, along with the workflows that connect them. This is a relatively novice-level course. The curriculum is focused on understanding and using existing…

We’re excited to announce that three introductory tutorials for RFdiffusion3 (RFD3) are now available in the Foundry documentation! Whether you’re just starting with RFD3 or looking to refine your design workflows, these tutorials guide you step-by-step through creating new protein structures for your design projects. What’s covered?  Each tutorial focuses on a common design challenge:…

In 2020, as the pandemic set in and classes moved online, the Foldit team realized we had a tremendous opportunity to help the science education community that was desperate for good science learning tools. We therefore created and released Foldit Education Mode in August 2020 as a ready-made teaching tool for biochemistry that instructors could…

BindCraft is a new open-source pipeline for de novo protein binder design developed by Martin Pacesa in collaboration with the Correia Lab (EPFL) and the Ovchinnikov Lab (MIT). Designed to be accessible and efficient, BindCraft was recently released with a detailed tutorial and can be run locally or via Google Colab. The tool enables researchers…

Overview of Psychological Safety Psychological safety was first described over thirty years ago and has been defined as the “shared belief that the team is safe for interpersonal risk taking” (Edmonson, 1999). People of backgrounds historically excluded from STEM are more likely to feel uncomfortable taking risks and sharing their ideas. Thus, psychological safety is…

I recently got a new computer and I have been (slowly) going through my old files to try to maintain a little order around here. So, while I was doing the ol’ twenty-first century upkeep, I stumbled across a file called “nope_nope_nope.mov”. Here’s what was in that file: here’s another one called “strand_fail.mov” that looks…
