Happy to see out after a fruitful international collaboration, started just after my PhD (!), showing how #polymorphism of #insulin #amyloid #fibrils is determined by their protofilaments packing. Full article on Advanced Science:

Polymorphism is a key feature of amyloid fibrils, yet the mechanisms remain elusive. This work presents a comprehensive AFM study and proves the hierarchical intertwining mechanism from single...

I saw many Tweets coming by to remind us scientists that science is not all we do! Today we managed to combine science and leisure. We visited @Ouwehand_Zoo with 50 colleagues where we had a great talk about 🐼, a pub(less)quiz and a stroll through the park. Great teambuilding 💪
