A new cryoEM instrument being installed at University of Oulu in Finland - probably the most northern one in Europe! Together with Inari Kursula (pictured) Petri Kursula Research Group, we hope to set up a cryoEM facility finally in Norway @uib Med_UiB Norges forskningsråd

Another fine summer day.

I have to say I have rather different views on PhD student and postdoc positions and their relevance. Apparently, they should be hired for getting workforce to Norwegian employers, not to work on research projects and advance science... khrono.no/sprakkrava-er-…

More student feedback today: “You said this topic is incredibly important, how can it be important if I’ve never heard of it?”

No proposal or manuscript is ever perfect, but to be effective, it does eventually need to be finished. Nothing we submit will ever be as good as it *could* be and just recognizing that can be an important step forward. Perfection is not the goal. Finished is the goal.

Hyvää Suomen luonnon päivää 🌲🌳 Meillä on vuosi vuodelta vähemmän luontoa juhlittavana, jollemme pidä siitä nykyistä parempaa huolta.

Ah, national priorities...

Oh, a preprint from a collaborative project has emerged... biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I will never share a file on Microsoft Teams again.

Great opportunity here, especially for protein biochemists! Join an innovative set of scientists at @NanoTag
