Just start.

The super talented Sven Klumpe visited the Biozentrum, University of Basel to teach our students about #cryoET workflows, cryo lift-out, and his very cool research into retrotransposon particles. Thanks Sven!

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…

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

We have exciting news to share! Abhay Kotecha (Abhay Kotecha) 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 Microscopy & Spectroscopy. Welcome to St. Jude Research, Abhay!

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 Microscopy & Spectroscopy for an unforgettable journey the last 7 years. Ready to build on that momentum at St. Jude!

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!)

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

Join us tomorrow for Molecular Virology Seminar to hear from Prof. Kinjal Majumder about work in the Kinjal Majumder on parvoviruses and the DNA damage response.

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

Please share! We are hiring- Tenure Track Faculty in Tumor Virology. mcardle.wisc.edu/jobs-at-mcardl…

⚠️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!!

Free scientific illustrations for biologists! 😍 NIH has released a library of 500+ free scientific illustrations to create figures, presentations, and illustrations! all freely available in the public domain. Retweet and spread the message! bioart.niaid.nih.gov

OMG. Anyone want to come to ASRI '25 and stay for a postdoc?

What an amazing group!

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

Abstract submission is open NOW for ASRI #ASRI2025 meeting in St. Paul, MN! Please join us in the Land of 10,000 Immune Reactions! theasri.org/Abstracts-Post…

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!

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…

SPACEtomo v1.2 is online! github.com/eisfabian/SPAC… - Improved GUIs for lamella detection, target selection and CLEM registration make it the best target selection workflow for PACEtomo on any kind of lamella sample. - Easier installation and configuration Any feedback welcome!
