#CryoEM community, when you used a combination of SPA and ET to get your results, what would you use in the manuscript title? 'Cryo-electron microscopy of XXX' or 'Cryo-electron tomography of XXX', or something else? Want to preserve the method in the title

This breakthrough discovery brings a possibility to develop a new type of antimicrobials - those affecting the bug hibernation ability!

If you are interested in doing PhD in microbial molecular biology, look no further!

Visiting Tung Le at JIC Norwich. I did not believe when Tung said it is the California of the UK, but it is spot on! First sun I see from September!

#cryoEM #cryoET #virus and #phage assembly PhD project at YSBL under my cosupervision, apply by the end of tomorrow findaphd.com/?pj=164040

On my way to 6th #Austrian #cryoEM symposium in Vienna. Will present my almost-complete work where we combined #SPA and #cryoET to unravel mechanism of how an #ssDNA #virus infects the host in toto.

Out today from the Bartesaghi lab! nextPYP is a turn-key framework for single-particle cryo-ET that streamlines complex data analysis pipelines, from pre-processing of tilt series to high-resolution refinement, for efficient analysis of large datasets. nature.com/articles/s4159…

This is of interest to those wishing to do a #PhD project focused on #microbiology and #cryoET at one of the best UK structural biology labs, YSBL. And unlike elsewhere, it is actualy a sane, fun and accepting environment (ask our current and former students!)

So #cryoEM community - do you use an objective aperture when collecting your data? Especially in microscopes with an EF. I know that it depends on the sample but do you see any benefits in data processing when inserted? 🔬 ❄️

Fantastic day at University of York with Eleanor herself officially opening the Eleanor & Guy Dodson Building YSBL, then a lecture by 2017 Nobel Laureate Richard Henderson from MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology and our own Jamie Blaza covering the past, present and future of cryo-EM

Structure of an RcGTA-like phage infecting one of the most abundant marine bacteria, Roseobacter. No head spikes but an additional megatron domain putatively binding carbohydrates!

Most relevant #conference for structural biologists working with #phages is happening in the UK this year. I heard from the organisers you can still register. I am attending, hope to present an ongoing #cryoET study of viral genome delivery pvaconference.wixsite.com/pva2023

Have you ever wondered what the most abundant virus of a human gut looks like? Read in this week's Nature paper. Structural side of the research done in YSBL
