After 30+ hours of travel, here we are: time for a final ~3 hours on the bus!

Had a captive audience to talk to about membranes today during my School of Biological Sciences seminar series talk! So pleased that my masters thesis work finally got to leave the page, and appreciated the thought provoking questions asked!

And with that, the masters is finished! Completed on time despite supercomputer shutdowns and appendicitis complications 🫠 Sad to say goodbye to the University of Auckland, but can’t wait to begin my next steps at the University of Oxford for my DPhil Biochemistry this upcoming October 😊

Mechanism of lipid transfer by bridge-like protein VPS13A and the scramblase XK
The cryo-electron microscopy structure of the bridge-like lipid-transfer protein VPS13A in complex with the scramblase XK—coupled with molecular dynamics simulations—suggests that VPS13A-transported l...

There’s a lot of talk about the POTS/EDS/MCAS triad, but really I think it’s more of a pentad… haven’t seen much literature exploring this framework yet so had to mind-map my thoughts. Also please imagine long covid lurking like a storm cloud over the whole page 😂

Meanwhile dynamics with an ‘s’ do not exist according to Word 🤷‍♀️

Today I learned I’m the same age as the term ‘lipidome’, which first appeared in a peer reviewed publication in 2001.* I am amused by the coincidence, kind of in awe of how much lipidomics has grown as a field in my lifetime, and eager to see (from membrane-modeller sidelines) future breakthroughs 😁

Membrane lipid composition: an important but neglected aspect of membrane protein simulation
Membranes are heterogeneous 2D mixtures of integral membrane proteins and lipids. The lipid environment and individual lipid molecules are increasingly being shown to affect the structure, dynamics, a...

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Lipids challenge ligands to control receptors The behaviour of a receptor protein can be influenced by the presence of certain lipids in the membrane it is embedded in. 🔗 buff.ly/G1Zl6cZ

Ooh, coarse-grained collagen cross-linking! Useful for studying age-related x-linking as the article mentioned, but hopefully also computational models towards understanding connective tissue disorders such as Ehlers Danlos..?

Had the pleasure of participating in a small but lively meeting today to discuss the future of biophysics in Aotearoa New Zealand. A key conclusion: increasing visibility, inclusivity, and accessibility will be key to growing our kiwi biophysics community and increasing our international presence.
