Excited for day two of #FCQC2025 for a great set of talks about all things quality control! Proud to represent @naturecellbiology.bsky.social as senior editor; come find me to chat! Keep an eye out for other editors including my brilliant colleague @sshadan.bsky.social senior editor from Nature

New cryo-EM/ET story - a brilliant collaboration with Sergey Melnikov's lab in Newcastle @sergeymelnikov.bsky.social and Stefan Pfeffer's lab in Heidelberg @pfeffercryolab.bsky.social. Great work in particular by Karla Helena-Bueno and @sophiekopetschke.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Editorial: The skies are a shared resource. We spend public money and push the limits of technology to look into the depths of the Universe - but now often see private communication satellites instead. Solutions exist, but regulation and enforcement are lacking. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Nature research paper: Overlapping nuclear import and export paths unveiled by two-colour MINFLUX https://go.nature.com/4iRwmJm

Hey all! The RNA Society meeting in San Diego features a new session for sharing results on new ways to bring RNA into the curriculum. Get your abstracts in ASAP!

Very interesting 20 minute documentary about toxic culture and power abuse at some Max Planck Institutes in Germany.

I think it's important to reach out to your own community and explain what the funding cuts mean in practice.

In this time of chaos - something good! We are excited to share our final (or near final) speaker list for the 3rd UCSF Full Circle Symposium 4/3-4/4 to highlight Native biologists! Please share the word and register to attend the webinar in person! More info: qbi.ucsf.edu/full-circle-...

If you’re still dumbfounded, I invite you to join me in donating. Let’s send a message of hope to Ukraine in these difficult times. u24.gov.ua

#Argonautes2025 update ... it will happen this August (27-30) @imgprague.bsky.social. Our ITs are finishing and testing the website, the registration will open on March 1st. More info will be provided later (once all speakers reply to my e-mail, just saying, not pushing 😁). Poster announcement:

On 7 February 1925, Nature published a curious paper on a ‘missing link’. Check out the palaeoanthropology paper collection to mark the 100 year anniversary of the publication of Australopithecus africanus www.nature.com/collections/... and our editorial www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Presynaptic and postsynaptic phase-separated liquids stay separate (“demonstrating a high degree of specificity”) even without membranes (!) and are tethered together with teneurin and latrophilin🤔🧐🤨 #synapses www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Hi, new followers! 👋 I'm a Senior Editor @natrevmcb.bsky.social, working on articles across most of cell biology—from cell migration & death to plant & structural biology (and beyond!). Based in Berlin, I share my home office with very cuddly cats 🐈‍⬛🐈 Follow along if you're curious about cell bio!

A study in Nature used deep learning methods to design proteins that can neutralize the effects of three-finger toxins found in snake venom, which could lead to the development of safer and more accessible antivenom treatments. https://go.nature.com/4aDxmxK 🧪

We have an exciting opportunity for a new independent group leader with an interest in structural/molecular biology and machine learning to join our Division of Structural Studies at the @mrclmb.bsky.social! 🥳 Re-posts appreciated. www.nature.com/naturecareer...

It seems being called the „Steve Jobs of something“ isn’t usually a good sign? Feeling bad for the 60ish people in this lab…

Nature is keen to find out how scientists are using Bluesky and whether it has become their go-to soc media platform. Do you use Bluesky? Has it replaced X for you? Tell us about it: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Hey @mdc-berlin.bsky.social 👀

🎉 We're excited to share our new research in @nature.com ! We reveal that crocodile head scales self-organize through compressive folding of the skin - a mechanical twist on their development & evolution! Please read & share 🐊🔬 @genevunige.bsky.social

1) Since I am the only Herzik lab member on @bsky.app, I get the privilege to announce our most recent publication from the Herzik/Tezcan labs. I got the wonderful opportunity to contribute on the cryoEM study of the oxygen protection mechansim employed by cells to protect Nitrogenase!

PhDs in biochemistry, structural biology, pharmacology, or similar, located in the US and with strong publication track records and a high motivation to solve Parkinson's, please send CV directly to me at [email protected]. Repost appreciated.

Excited to present our lab's new work on GPCR antagonism: Contrary to popular belief, we propose that inverse agonists can bind to and act via GPCR:G protein complexes. We show this at KOR, through cellular assays, radioligand binding and cryoEM studies. A thread. 💊 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Aquatic algae called diatoms have been found to use light-sensing proteins as depth indicators. Detecting depth-related changes in the intensity and spectrum of light enables algae to modulate their physiology accordingly. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Looks like we finally made it to Bluesky! @nature.com 🥳

This hot-off-press paper reveals how eukaryotic eIF4F recognizes & activates messenger RNA by stochastically sampling along its length & utilizing allosteric communication between its subunits. We get a revised model for mRNA activation & translation initiation. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hey #RNA peeps, I look forward to seeing you at this amazing meeting in Jan 2025 in Keystone, CO! 🎿 @keystonesymposia.bsky.social www.keystonesymposia.org/conferences/...

Really enjoying this (bit dated) Einstein biography from Albrecht Fölsing with fun bits on his struggles with early 20th century academia, and how he interacted with other great physicists. There’s an English translation, too - check it out! Fun read, not just for Barbenheimer fans (1/5) 🧪
