That was great! Thanks everyone!

And that’s a wrap on the Great Wall Symposium 2025!
Roll on 2027, venue to be confirmed shortly …

We are hiring a Postdoc in membrane protein cryo-EM at the University of Georgia. Looking for candidates with expertise in membrane protein purification and biochemistry. Fully funded for up to 5 years. Join us in Athens, GA. Apply: camilo.perez@uga.edu

Many congrats!🎉🎊

Stress-mediated growth determines Escherichia coli division site morphogenesis | PNAS In order to proliferate, bacteria must remodel their cell wall at the division site. The division process is driven by the enzymatic activity of pe...

So happy to have contributed to this beautiful study led by PetrPelech! A combined theory–experiment effort based on our in situ cryo-ET data, revealing how stress-mediated growth shapes E. coli division site morphogenesis. #teamtomo 🌐 🦠🔬❄️🐎

🚨New preprint!🚨 #teamtomo
We expanded Surface Morphometrics to quantify membrane thickness from cryo-ET—revealing local variation across organelles.

Led by the lab’s first grad student, @mmedina300kv.bsky.social (defending Monday! 🍾) w/ @attychang.bsky.social @hamid13r.bsky.social & @tomo.science

We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to join us to explore telomerase regulation by histones. Please get in touch if this may interest you.

Join the Blokesch lab (@EPFL) as a postdoc in Molecular Microbiology 🤩
Study Vibrio cholerae defense systems (phage/plasmid) in a dynamic, collaborative environment in Lausanne close to Lake Geneva in 🇨🇭!
Please visit my lab's webpage for details about the position and how to formally apply.

Reducing the effects of radiation damage in cryo-EM using liquid helium temperatures | PNAS The physical limit in determining the atomic structure of biological molecules is radiation damage. In electron cryomicroscopy, there have been num...

After years parked at a Polara, I’m excited to share that my PhD work is finally out! We figured out why imaging at liquid helium temperatures wasn’t working—and how to fix it.

Our work on HIV-1 matrix, led by James Stacey and @dhrebik.bsky.social, is in this week's @nature.com. Extended explanatory video from @margotriggi.bsky.social.

The aPBP-type cell wall synthase PBP1b plays a specialized role in fortifying the Escherichia coli division site against osmotic rupture www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.02.646830v1 #cryoEM

🚨👉 Please check our recent work on bacterial cell division. In situ Cryo-ET reveals the cellular function of the penicillin binding protein 1b supported by AFM, live-cell imaging, in silico AlphaFold proteome screen and TIRFM. Hope you enjoy the read! #teamtomo #cryo-ET ❄️🔬🐎 big thanks to the team!

To explain further: The Navarro Lab secured an SNSF collaborative project grant, while the Vettiger Lab @avettiger.bsky.social landed an SNSF project grant—both totally independent!!!🎉 We’re officially making science moves—couldn’t be prouder of both teams and their work!!! 🔬💥 #Teamwork #ScienceWins

Double the grants, double the money, double the impact! Huge thanks to our amazing teams -proof that scientific power couples thrive in inclusive, diverse and open-minded institutions. And the real winner? Science, of course!🏆🔬Grateful beyond words! ❄️🐎 @dmf-unil.bsky.social @snsf-ch.bsky.social

This is so beautiful! specially the structural evolution comparison🤩

Asgard archaea have actin - but what about microtubules? Where do they come from? 🧐 Our new paper www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... by @xujwet.bsky.social & @florianwollweber.bsky.social, in collaboration with the Schleper & Wieczorek labs, describes tiny Asgard microtubules! #TeamTomo #ArchaeaSky 1/6

Many congrats!!! 🎉 Beautiful work 🤩

WE GOT THE COVER!!!

Hello bluesky community! Happy to be finally here ;)🐎
