2/3 📌 In collaboration with the Uni Heidelberg , we are offering an autumn school (7 – 11 Oct 2024) covering all aspects of the single particle cryoEM workflow. PhD students and early career researchers are welcome to apply.

🚨 New Preprint from Grotjahn Lab🚨 We show that ribosomes oriented for import on mitochondria cluster, make multiple contacts with, and induce local ultrastructural changes to mitochondrial membranes at import sites Atty Ya Ting Chang Ben Barad @hamid13r @ZidLab

Could not be more proud to share my first PhD paper with you! Find out what makes an amino acid transporter ASCT2 function as an exchanger: rdcu.be/dPTze

If this would not already be creepy enough, look at some of the answers. 🤮🤬

As summer unfolds, remember to take a well-deserved break! Balancing academia & family is tough, so prioritize self-care, set boundaries, and explore new experiences. Disconnect from social media & focus on what matters. Here’s to a restful and memorable summer! Academic Mom, PhD #STEMM

Researchers including Anna Borowska Cristina Paulino Membrane Enzymology untangle the structural basis of the exchange mechanism of Na+ -dependent obligatory amino acid exchanger ASCT2. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Being a woman is kind of like being a cyclist in a city where all the cars represent men. You're supposed to be able to share the road equally with cars, but that's not how it works. The roads are built for cars and you spend a great deal of physical and mental energy being

🌟Exciting news!🌟 I’m thrilled to share our latest preprint, which marks a special milestone. This manuscript, authored by my brilliant PhD student Ciara is her first scientific paper with my group and presents the first high-resolution cryo-EM structure from my group!

Check out the preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… ❄️🔬 #CryoEM #MembraneProteins #NativeNanodiscs #AutzenGroup

🚀 Excited to share our preprint: CryoBench 🧊🪑: Diverse & Challenging Datasets for the Heterogeneity Problem in Cryo-EM! 🌐cryobench.cs.princeton.edu 🙌 Huge thanks to my amazing co-authors, collaborators, & advisor @zhongingalong! 🎉 #cryoEM #MachineLearning 🧵 Details below!

Cryo-EM heterogeneity analysis needs benchmarks and validation tools. We're very happy to share CryoBench 🧊🪑: cryobench.cs.princeton.edu lead by the amazing EZ team Minkyu Jeon Ellen Zhong with FI miro astore geoff woollard Sonya

Two open fully funded Postdoc positions in my lab in #cryoEM & #cryoET. See description below 👇Please share and spread the word. For all those interested in joining my group and work on exciting and collaborative projects please apply! drive.google.com/file/d/1Qs4roS…

Some thoughts on the current state of single particle cryo-EM map/model validation. (TLDR: preferred orientation remains a big problem, ❤️ Q-scores. There's been progress, but there's still more to do. ) authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…

2024 Murnau Structural Biology Meeting GBM e.V. kickoff by Cristina Paulino & Janosch Hennig! Three amazing days of structural bio and what makes the molecules of life move ahead! #4DStructuralBiology With a talk by our own Yasmine on TRPV4 on Friday! 😍 Balance of the Microverse SFB1507

Mark your calendars for the BPS CryoEM Subgroup Symposium, on Subgroup Saturday at Biophysical Society Annual Meeting 2025! Also, we have a new award, the Almeida Award, for a mid/senior level woman who has made outstanding contributions to #cryoem. See you there!

Dear cryo-EM women scientists, We want to honor you and your contributions at BPS 2025. This year, the Cryo-EM subgroup will honor a mid/senior-career woman scientist as the inaugural June Almeida awardee. June Almeida is the virologist who first discovered the coronavirus in

So she was first author on his key paper - in fact she's on most of his key papers, yet she didn't get the Nobel Prize, in spite of the fact they could have given 3 awards, not just 2. Explain to me how STEM is not institutionally sexist.

Just reviewed nominations for a prestigious chemistry award and < 5% nominees were women?!? 😳 Mentors - there are excellent women in chemistry, so PLEASE nominate them! Of course they shouldn't win just for showing up, but they'll never get to swim unless they're in the pool!🏄‍♀️
