Last Christmas party as part of @ceitec.eu and NCBR at @masarykuniversity.bsky.social. What an amazing blast I had over the time. No its time to finish a thesis and hopefully defend in spring. Any postdoc positions in structural biology? 🫣 have a happy festive times, saturnalias, jules and so on!

Took my 70yo grandma bouldering. Age is just a number, although it can have quite an impact. She just refuses to aknowledge it. Much more funnier this way.

Writing my dissertation thesis and I am so flabbergasted, it is officially a spooky season

Everyone trying to crystallize their proteins and other stuff knows, that while beautiful, the crystallisation can be quite "a dick". 🧪 Courtesy of my friend, Misa from Glycobiochemistry group.

So I dont know if there is a problem with winding my old camera or I just failed inserting my first film. But as much as I hate the failure, some of these photos looks kinda artsy. Captured on Praktica MTL5b, Pentacon 50/1.8 MC. 📷🎞️

And how does you workbench look like after a hard day? I personally hate MTS labelling.

I love meeting this neighbour fella on the corridor. What a nice and beautiful guy in a tux. 🐱

Brewing coffee on trips is really nice, especially if sou share with friends. Thats how I found out how good coffee grounds degasses in high altitudes. 2760 meters above ground, best aeropress I ever had ☕️

If anyone struggles with the rims being worn of or torn on the ETFE tubing for FPLC, like the connectors on some transparent loops or Superdex columns, reach out to me. I have a quick protocol how to fix it :) 🧪

It is usually wise to follow the guides and use what is being told to you to use, instead of... like forgetting to do it, perhaps. 🤔 #nmrfails 😂🧪

Coffee and NMR spectra assignment, best combination to be invented?

It took me way too much time preparing this poster, and way to much time to get the "data" it shows. It was still a good run.

Its always nice to see the fruit of your work being considered in positive light. Thank you @ceitec.eu for organising the CEITEC PhD School conference and congratulations to all awardees. Hopefully, the publication is near :)

Giving lectures about your work is always fun.

I love me some nice streetart

What a better way to end the day at uni, than grill party. Biochemistry department knows how to rock!

To watch the industry slowly rot away is a really weird feeling. Once a beating heart of our city, now basically a carcass.

When I went on my first thruhike, I packed a lot of stuff, a lot of old, borrowed, heavy stuff which made 27kg of load I had to carry (water included). Lets see what it looks like this year with new, lighter gear :))

Got to meet up with this beautiful Philodromus aureolus complex specimen. What a nice guy. #spider

I love oil beetles so much. These are some early wandering females of Meloe violaceus we found during the weekend hike. Super chill dudes and super beautiful, with those bright purplish blueish colours. They are poisonous and and suffer from a bad rep, but they are nearly not that dangerous. <3 bugs

Its the time of the year again, my Bryophyllum daigremontianum is blooming. PS: I know that it is kalanchoe.

Coffee coffee coffee in the morning. I love the Tetsu Kasuya brew style, it goes so well with some african single-origins we have.

P acquired. hD in progress. State exams passed!

Martin Černý @bacillus.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

I so much like the quirks of state doctoral exams in Czech academic postgrad. Wish me luck tommorow. (Eg. this is not a PhD thesis defense but a cumulative trivia exam)

New year, new buffers. I hoped that until the last half a year of my PhD, I wont get any more new proteins, but well. I was mistaken

Martin Černý @bacillus.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

I don't know how you, but to me, assigning and generally working with NMR spectra is far more entertaining than working with cryo-EM data in cryosparc. Or maybe I just wasn't lucky yet.

Wish us luck with this story, a novel interaction partner. Will share a preprint. CrsL, a novel transcription factor in Mycobacterium smegmatis, small ~5kDa protein interacting with CarD.

Winter came early, with Catherine (25th) on snow, the saying goes, that the Christmas will be muddy yet again.

Hands on the most genial thing I saw any student do. Dont want to sit infront of the FPLC when optimizing runs? Well, stream it to your pc in the wetlab where you can work on something else.

What kind of windows do you have in your lab? (CEITEC MU Cryo-EM core facility)

I am always amazed how inventive can people be, despite having clear instructions. But filling pH meter storage container with calibration solution pH 9.0 was not on the list. I am just absolutely chuffed.

Are there accounts revolving around brewing good cup of coffee? Good coffee anybody? :)

Martin Černý @bacillus.bsky.social · 16/11/2024

Are there any accounts dedicated to brewing #coffee ? Would love to see some roadteries or people brewing coffee.

I always wanted to plug columns into series and just now, I finally managed. Wasnt super helpful, but hey, you gotta fulfill your dreams.
