Incredible collaborative work pushing the boundaries of cryoEM and our knowledge of Gprotein activation. So proud-of and happy-for my colleagues and friends involved!!!!.
Very happy to have my recent work on "Time-resolved cryo-EM of G protein activation by a GPCR" out in Nature today! #cryoEM #GPCR @Nature #LabSkiniotis

Immensely proud of you @evilanova!!!! Congrats to all authors! So relevant.
🌲I am really excited that this paper is now published! (link at the end of thread). After the 2012-2016 drought in California that caused the death of millions of trees and its effects are still visible, the CA Tree Mortality Data collection network started a monitoring effort🔥
