Thanks to @royalsociety and @MRC_LMB, @lab_baum and I are looking for a student to develop the next generation of fluorescent proteins for live and super-resolution imaging, as part of the LMB's four-year PhD programme. https://t.co/HcbNL5hRrQ

2024 #NobelPrize laureate in chemistry David Baker has succeeded with the almost impossible feat of building entirely new kinds of proteins. In recent years, one incredible protein creation after the other has emerged from Bakerโ€™s laboratory. They range from new nanomaterials

Super excited to share our latest work on the native in-cell organization of the mitochondrial respiratory chain ๐Ÿฅณ Using cryo-electron tomography๐Ÿ”ฌ, we show how the respiratory complexes (and other complexes) are organized inside native mitochondria!ย  https://t.co/cxHl1j20CJ

I've now made a few small changes to our parameter-free deconvolution code to better handle low SNR data, and to add MIPs to the notebook so you have a feeling for the results without needing to download images from Google Drive. https://t.co/dYkihjPuL8

We (@AndrewGYork, @RunningPhoton, @microRussell and I) are still working on the manuscript describing our automatic parameter-free deconvolution approach, but we've made a Google Colab notebook where you can try it out without needing to install anything: https://t.co/7NpsTQrwBO

The sunshine and warmth of the south of England is pretty nice. HOWEVER, the sheer number of spiders in my house is not ok.

Women are born with all their oocytes, which need to stay viable for decades to ensure fertility. How are they maintained for that long? Our latest research in @NatureCellBio reveals that oocyte maintenance involves exceptional protein longevity. https://t.co/ZiByc9F4hS (1/9)
