Exciting time with the arrival of our brand new and very cute JEOL 120i. It will share its accommodation with its arch-rival the TFS L120c 🤣 . May the best survive. @jeoleurope.bsky.social @unimelb.bsky.social @bio21director.bsky.social

Our old Tecnai F20 has now left the lab for better skies after over 20 years of faithful service. Hopefully it will be very useful to its new owner. @bio21director.bsky.social @unimelb.bsky.social @thermofishersci.bsky.social

"Productivity reform starts with public science" by Nathan Garland @n8sci.bsky.social has some worthy suggestions for improving productivity. In news we all know – but the Government seems to like ignoring – it'll help to fund more basic science research! nathangarland.substack.com/p/productivi...

Graph of R&D spending (% of GDP) versus Year, with coloured dots joined by lines showing different countries (shown in the key at the bottom of the graph) taken from Nathan Garland's article here: https://nathangarland.substack.com/p/productivity-reform-starts-with-public

Excited to share that our work on a family of pore-forming proteins is now live in Science Advances! We show structural snapshots across the entire pore-forming pathway for a cholesterol-dependent cytolysin-like (CDCL) bicomponent system.

Just because it's a homo-oligomer, don't assume it's symmetric! @benjabsnt.bsky.social & collaborators used cryo-EM to study the transthyretin (TTR) tetramer (55 kDa), shedding light on its misfolding pathways linked to amyloid disease. Now in peer-reviewed form: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
