Accessing GPU clusters or high-performance computers can be a challenge in Brazil, so I created a Colab notebook for NetSci to perform GC analysis. It works seamlessly, even with Colab’s free tier! Check it out here: colab.research.google.com/drive/1GGJKrCo…

Help me before you leave! Has anyone done a cryoEM starter pack on bsky? or a virology one? Did you use any tool to migrate the people you follow automatically? Jumping ship a bit late, I know... HALP!

For a PhD student, choosing a good lab is 10 times more important than choosing a particular topic to study

By combining plasma FIB with serial lift out approaches, we demonstrate a robust pipeline for generating huge amounts of in situ tissue cryo-ET data (>25 lift outs, >180 lamellae, >600 targeted tomograms!)

Because of annoying complications with the use of images prepared on BioRender @iamscicomm for publication or presentations, our lab will be exploring open-source alternatives like bioicons.com or drawing our own images with Illustrator.

⚠️Here’s yet another option other than BioRender! ⚠️ 📢 SciDraw is a free repository of high quality drawings of animals, scientific setups, and anything that might be useful for scientific presentations and posters. 🔁❤️Free Science! RIP BioRender!!

Our work presents the first cryo-ET image of the authentic #Mpox virus and its 3D reconstruction. It's a huge virus. Details in: rdcu.be/dXFp2

Thank you for the warm welcome! I’m excited to join the incredible team & continue advancing #CryoEM and #CryoET. A heartfelt thank you to my amazing team & colleagues at @thermosciEMSpec for an unforgettable journey the last 7 years. Ready to build on that momentum at St. Jude!

We have exciting news to share! Abhay Kotecha (@abhaykot) is joining us as Senior Director of Technologies for Cryo-EM and Cryo-ET. We're thrilled to have him continue his great work in #CryoET, building on his innovation at @thermosciEMSpec Welcome to @stjuderesearch, Abhay!

Cold-emailing potential postdoc advisors is a hugely successful strategy! Here is the exact e-mail I sent back in the day (& it worked) - feel free to use as a template: docs.google.com/document/d/1Ob…

When you're looking for a #postdoc - do you wait for labs to advertise or send a 'cold' application? Unsolicited applications can be VERY effective nature.com/articles/d4158… So don't hesitate to apply directly to labs you're interested in - its always worked really well for us!

Happy that our review "HIV-1 assembly – when virology meets biophysics" is now released. Thanks @J_Cell_Sci for inviting us to write it!

In their Review, @ClaireLctr, Baptiste Carrio, Cyril Favard and @DMuriaux @VirAssemblyLab discuss the mechanisms of assembly of the HIV-1 structural protein Gag from biophysical and biological perspectives. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…

The super talented @svenklumpe visited the @biozentrum to teach our students about #cryoET workflows, cryo lift-out, and his very cool research into retrotransposon particles. Thanks Sven!
