Erice, here I come! Very much looking forward to the EMBO workshop on channels AND transporters (does it get any better than that?!?!) 😍 organized by Anna Moroni, Stephan Pless @plesslab.bsky.social & Alessio Accardi! And maybe it's just a very strange coincidence, but I was assigned seat 19F... 🥰🧲

Not the wurst case science bluesky scenario: This post inspired me to look up a few other papers by the 'brilliant hoot' Fred Menger and led me to this absolute beauty! 🧪 Certainly NO ONE should feel pity for the mundane phospholipid and its inferiority complex as a "sausage casing" 🌭😂 #LipidLove
