Reminder and update: we extended the deadline for oral presentation abstracts for this Dutch #amyloid meeting. So you can still apply to speak!

Reminder: the deadline for this #ssNMR job application closes on 15 Dec!

Captain Haddock looking very frazzled, saying, “What a week, huh?” Tintin leans into the frame and says, “Captain, it’s Wednesday.” Snowy is very excited about the drink he has found.

All this talk about LLPS and I’m still wondering if lipid rafts are real.

Exactly.

PyOR/Examples/Maxwell_Bloch_Simulations/SpinEcho.ipynb at main · VThalakottoor/PyOR Python On Resonance (PyOR), a versatile NMR simulator - VThalakottoor/PyOR

Starting as an electronics engineer (IE) at CEA Paris-Saclay in February, but I’ll keep developing PyOR into a solid teaching tool for beginners in NMR, EPR, and MRI.
Here’s a spin-echo simulation using the classical Bloch equations:

Join us in Lunteren, the Netherlands on March 5 & 6, 2026 for the 32nd Dutch Cancer Biology meeting. We have two fantastic keynote speakers: @andrea-musacchio.bsky.social and @colindascheele.bsky.social and the rest of the program will be by early-career scientists. Info: www.dutchcancerbiology.nl

But the Magritek benchtops would have been fine of course, in terms of cryogen spills.

100 Years of Spin and Lorentz Medal Award Ceremony In 1925, two young physicists from Leiden University, George Uhlenbeck and Samuel Goudsmit, proposed a radical idea: spin. Their bold hypothesis quickly came to play a key role in physics and formed t...

This morning, I found I could no longer disable AI on Google with the -ai tag.

I switched to DuckDuckGo. The results are better and it´s easy to disable the AI summaries.

🧪Ok sciencers, specifically yeast biochemistry ppl. What's your go-to protease-inhibitor mix?

We're blowing the budget with protease inhibitors.

Probing photochemically-induced dynamic transitions by magic-angle-spinning NMR combined with in situ irradiation Light is often the stimulus of choice for dynamically changing structure and function in materials and other contexts, including not only many smart materials and photovoltaics, but also biological an...

… see also our recent paper on that topic: doi.org/10.1039/D5TA...

Note that this project involves substantial collaboration with materials science groups, such that an interest / experience outside of biomolecular ssNMR would be welcomed. Questions? Let me know!

With funding from the Dutch NWO, we are looking for a postdoc with expertise in #DNP and/or #ssNMR experiments/hardware. One focus in the work will be to follow-up on our work on in-situ illuminated ssNMR for studying #photochemistry processes. #nmrchat werkenbij.rug.nl/vacature/pos...

Our latest work is out in @jacs.acspublications.org where we look at defects in UiO-66 MOFs using solid-state NMR and XAFS.

Defining the Molecular and Mechanical Drivers of Aortic Extracellular Matrix Ageing (KHIMYAK_U26DTP) | Doctoral Training Partnership Why this matters: Aortic compliance, the ability of the aorta to change shape in response to changes in blood pressure, is essential for health. As we age, the aorta stiffens:

Liebe Leute, ich freue mich sehr, euch hier eine Woche bespaßen zu dürfen! Hier das Programm:

Mo: Unsere Forschung
Di: Labor-Kultur & Uni-Leben
Mi: Scientific writing & career perspectives
Do: Praktikum & mentoring
Fr: Stress management & productivity
Sa: Review & feedback
So: Forschung & farewell

Experts in the field of (opto)spintronics in vdW and related materials gather to find open research lines in this field, identify the main challenges in the field and pinpoint how these challenges could be overcome. bit.ly/3X08Cty
@mhdguimaraes.bsky.social @jagodaslawinska.bsky.social

.. like in prior years, the event will cover topics from in vitro studies of structures and mechanisms all the way to diagnostics and treatment strategies. With speakers from across the country - and we will select additional speakers from submitted abstracts! Questions? Let me know! #dpan2026

In Jan 2026 we will organize the 3rd Dutch protein aggregation network (DPAN) symposium in Amsterdam: we invite Dutch researchers interested in (disease-related) protein aggregation to join the meeting! Registration and other info: dpan-nl.org/3rd-dpan-sym... #amyloid #proteinaggregation
