Less good news - I’m ranked second for the tenured position at my department. Here’s to waiting even longer for the final outcome…

@Migrationsverket behöver skärpa sig! De långa handläggnings­tider stryper Sveriges kompetens­intag av utländska forskare och slår direkt mot vår kunskaps­ekonomi. Det skriver @sanna_wolk i en debattartikel i SvD Debatt: svd.se/a/kEQ3oA/sulf-…

That feeling when after you've done a bunch of work on your model in Coot, you go to File to save the coordinates, but your mouse slips and you hit the red button instead...

I couldn’t agree more!

Arbetet med jämställdheten på lärosätena går frustrerande trögt. För ett år sen publicerade SULF en rapport som visar att kvinnor i akademin har sämre anställningsvillkor och sämre arbetsmiljö. Ett år senare och situationen har inte förbättrats. #internationellakvinnodagen

70 years ago, 3 papers appeared in nature under the title ‘Molecular structure of nucleic acids’. In an article in Nature today (link at end) Nathaniel Comfort and I shed new light on ‘what Watson and Crick really took from Rosalind Franklin’. This thread summarises our findings. 1/23

What we know about the molecular mechanisms of the iron-sensing transcription factor IdeR reveals how much there is left to learn. Find out why in this new #BiochemSocTrans mini-review from Julia Johanna Griese et al. doi.org/10.1042/BST202…

Here’s a pretty cool story that I contributed a little bit to: Computational design of the temperature optimum of an enzyme reaction | Science Advances science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Researchers increase the optimum temperature of an #enzyme reaction for the first time using computational design >>> bit.ly/3JR972C Uppsala universitet UiT Norges arktiske universitet Julia Johanna Griese

New preprint! Check out this neat story by Emmanuel Nji featuring the cryo-EM structure of a lysine transporter: Structural insights into Pseudomonas aeruginosa lysine-specific uptake mechanism for extremely low pH regulation biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The long-awaited structure of Bacillus MntR bound to DNA! While structures of iron-sensing DtxR family members bound to DNA have been known for decades, the DNA complexes of manganese sensors have long eluded structure elucidation. Cryo-EM to the rescue!

Better late than never, I'd like to share a comment we (mainly Emmanuel Nji) wrote on supporting structural biologists in Africa: nature.com/articles/s4159…
