Holy smoke. What ultimately happened???
Hi Fabio, the facility in Umeå does. You can find info including facility contact here (I am a user but I don't work at the facility):

Hello BlueSky Community, do you know of any European Cryo-EM facility which possess a High-pressure freezer being used under BSL-2 safety level? The sample would be a bacterial biofilm.
Just ONCE I want to travel by train @deutschebahn.com in Germany without delays, missed connections and cancelled trains. Today was not that day. I'll keep trying. Still beats driving by a long shot!
If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.
When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
Let's not forget that the convicted rapist Donald Trump is in the Epstein Files.
Question for the #cryoEM crowd: have you played with ModelAngelo, CryoAtom and EMProt, and would you care to offer thoughts/notes on the comparison? I have ModelAngelo installed and I love it, but the other two claim improved performance - which should I try first?
Very proud of Bader Rayan for leading this work uncovering RNA as a regulator of peptide assembly and phase behavior, reshaping the bioactivity of virulent amyloids and host-defense peptides at the interface of bacterial virulence and innate immunity.

Yeah, hard to get much flatter than Hamburg 😉
That is a magnificent view!
We paid tribute to the fallen heroes of Ukraine at Maidan.
I am also thinking of their comrades, bravely holding the line in the trenches.
Fighting for peace.
Fighting for a better future for their children.
Fighting for a free and sovereign Ukraine, at the heart of a free Europe.
Four years have passed since Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia was supposed to win in three days. Instead, Ukraine reinvented modern warfare, built a drone industry, and can destroy a thousand Russian soldiers in a day. Ukraine can win.
I’m embarrassed that I cheered for this group of absolute assholes.
This is the kind of thing a rich CEO says at the beginning of a science fiction movie to establish for the audience that he is a sociopath and the villain.
I LOVE when science is applied to "toddler questions" like "Why is the sky blue?" or "Why is ice slippery?"
Because the answers can be so SUPRISING.
Let's dig into recent revelations about how ice skates work & why tires skid across black ice.
First, we'll dismiss 3 VERY GOOD hypotheses as wrong.
The amyloid packing difference (APD) is a new metric to compare amyloid structures. Analysis of disease-specific structures provides context for the interpretation of APDs for new comparisons. I hope it will be useful! 🤗

An early career researcher asks Nature Careers for advice on what to do when their idea shared in a poster presentation is published by someone else. #Academicsky 🧪
Please spread the word: the Structural Studies Division @mrclmb.bsky.social is looking for a new tenure-track, independent group leader with an exciting plan in any area of Structural (Molecular & Cell) biology, in discovery biology and/or methods development. 🥳

I had Claude make this as a mini-game for Relay's disconnect screen (like Chrome's dinosaur), but then pivoted to stand-alone. In this game, you have to find Euler angles matching the target projection, i.e. cosplay RELION. It can be pretty hard. Works on mobile too! warpem.github.io/euler-hunt/
I am excited to share our latest preprint - An evolutionarily divergent herpesvirus with a giant tail. Featuring symmetry breaking and genome annotation from structure using ModelAngelo. doi.org/10.64898/202...
And the puck is dropped!
After a 12 year wait, the best players in the world are again playing in the Olympics. Let's fucking go! #icehockey #trekronor #olympics
🎉 Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science 🔬
Some of our group leaders shared insights into what they love most about their jobs in science. ❤️
CSSB supports women and girls in science through initiatives like Girls‘ and Boys‘ Day.

Amazing sprint, the Swedish women crushed the opposition! 🥇🇸🇪🥈🇸🇪🥉🇸🇪
omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for

What a fantastic start to the Winter Olympics! 🇸🇪🥇Frida Karlsson 🇸🇪🥈Ebba Andersson
It’s a lonely job, leading a research group (professor, principal investigator, group leader – whatever you call it). You talk all day with everyone, but you’re mostly alone with the doubts and risks of the biggest decisions.
Does it have to be though??

Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
