Congratulations to Sreehari Gopinathan, winner of the Karen Davies Poster Prize at the CCPEM Spring Symposium 2026. The prize (newly established this year) honours the memory of Karen Davies, a much-valued colleague and friend in the cryoEM community, who sadly passed away in 2025.

Yesterday, we celebrated the life of Deryck Mills, an amazing colleague and friend who touched so many of us and passed away far too early. A day of emotions; tears, laughter and gratitude.

The archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius has four different surface filaments. Each of them plays its special role in motility, adhesion, biofilm formation and mating. Our latest cryoEM foray into three of these unique structures is now published: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
