Ultrafast Almost Gold!
The Regensburg Center for Ultrafast Nanoscopy bio-section took second in the relay! Physics' reaction rates are attoseconds, but ours, Slower. Probably why "The Quantum Leapers" edged us out. Great fun and pretzels! @ziegler-lab-ur.bsky.social @katjaurbansky.bsky.social
So exciting … The publication where I had the privilege to contribute has been selected as an Editor's Choice. This recognition truly reflects everyone's hard work and dedication.

Recently, our early-career researchers agreed on the value of organizing regular sessions for PhDs and PostDocs to explore key research topics in greater depth.
These sessions offer a space to understand the methods & techniques used across the 4 #Hydrosensing teams.
#science
In the very 1st session this Tuesday, @greg-madej.bsky.social, from @uniregensburg.bsky.social @ziegler-lab-ur.bsky.social, presented how their expertise is applied within the project; specially the use of Cryo-EM in the study of membrane-embedded proteins.

Yesterday, through the tireless work of training runs, the support of my team, and the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other, we reached the finish line. The justice of completing what we set out to do, after the planning and the effort, has been served.

In @uniofnottingham.bsky.social ERC Hydrosensing members spent a few intense (and wardrobe-consistent 😅) days filming about research on root systems and how plants adapt to drought.
More footage for the documentary is being filmed at locations around the world in the coming year.
We had the pleasure to contribute to this publication... It was a pleasure to be part of this effort. Congratulations to all authors! #cryoEM

#HydroSensing Synergy Group - your fascinating talks last week completely watered the seeds of curiosity in my brain 😉. Prepare to see the photographic evidence of my descent into macroscale hydrosensing madness! I'm pretty sure my leafy friends 🌱 are judging my overly enthusiastic note-taking.

After our annual #HydroSensing meeting in Regensburg, we went for a hike.. of course with a subsequent data collection and data processing demonstration 😁 #Plant #cryoEM

Yes, we do wear a mask and the room is somewhat humidity controlled.. at hot summer days not so much 😂 With a little practice, clipping is also possible at limited visibility or if you prefer red light 😉 When the rel. humidity climbs >45% things start getting challenging 😥

We've been using SerialEM 4.2.0 beta on our JEOL cryoARM-200 for a while now. The multi-record setup and coma vs. IS calibration routines are particularly helpful – they're user-friendly and consistently reliable. #cryoEM #SerialEM

“LeCun, who earned his bachelor's and Ph.D. in France , said the changes in the United States should be a wake-up call for European institutions and companies. "You may have an opportunity to attract some of the best scientists in the world," he wrote.”

temperature-controlled dewar from NanoSoft Materials (www.nanosoftmaterials.com). We are using it - no solidified ethane! Plus: if you happen to drop a grid in the brass cup the groove design on the bottom makes retrieval easy. Highly recommend. #cryoem #vitrification #microscopy #vitrobot
