MC 2025: We came, we saw, we won🏆 🏆! Amazing team on a fantastic time at the Microscopy Conference in Karlsruhe. Get this: two of our posters won Poster Prizes! We're pretty sure it was our perfect blend of science and questionable doodles in the margins. @ziegler-lab-ur.bsky.social

Ultrafast Almost Gold! The Regensburg Center for Ultrafast Nanoscopy bio-section took second in the relay! Physics' reaction rates are attoseconds, but ours, Slower. Probably why "The Quantum Leapers" edged us out. Great fun and pretzels! @ziegler-lab-ur.bsky.social @katjaurbansky.bsky.social

So exciting … The publication where I had the privilege to contribute has been selected as an Editor's Choice. This recognition truly reflects everyone's hard work and dedication.

Recently, our early-career researchers agreed on the value of organizing regular sessions for PhDs and PostDocs to explore key research topics in greater depth. These sessions offer a space to understand the methods & techniques used across the 4 #Hydrosensing teams. #science

In the very 1st session this Tuesday, @greg-madej.bsky.social, from @uniregensburg.bsky.social @ziegler-lab-ur.bsky.social, presented how their expertise is applied within the project; specially the use of Cryo-EM in the study of membrane-embedded proteins. 🌐 www.uni-regensburg.de/biologie-vor...

Yesterday, through the tireless work of training runs, the support of my team, and the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other, we reached the finish line. The justice of completing what we set out to do, after the planning and the effort, has been served. @katjaurbansky.bsky.social

academic.oup.com/nar/article/... Proud to have been a small part of the team behind the latest publication. It was a privilege to collaborate with such a talented group of researchers on this work. A massive congratulations to all the authors for this contribution to the field! #RNA #cryoEM

Here is an update on our recent activity.. febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

In @uniofnottingham.bsky.social ERC Hydrosensing members spent a few intense (and wardrobe-consistent 😅) days filming about research on root systems and how plants adapt to drought. More footage for the documentary is being filmed at locations around the world in the coming year.

We had the pleasure to contribute to this publication... It was a pleasure to be part of this effort. Congratulations to all authors! #cryoEM @cmziegler.bsky.social @greg-madej.bsky.social pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

These were great days.. thank you all! @hamannlab.bsky.social @eilonshani.bsky.social @sara-morghen.bsky.social @francesco-saffioti.bsky.social @katjaurbansky.bsky.social @wiebkehaeger.bsky.social @michaelaticha.bsky.social @hydrosensing.bsky.social @hydrophotonics.bsky.social

First images coming soon 🤩

#HydroSensing Synergy Group - your fascinating talks last week completely watered the seeds of curiosity in my brain 😉. Prepare to see the photographic evidence of my descent into macroscale hydrosensing madness! I'm pretty sure my leafy friends 🌱 are judging my overly enthusiastic note-taking.

We are fascinated by how our leafy friends 🌱 feel the subtle shifts in soil moisture 💦 Last week we hydrated your minds and cultivated connections at our #erc meeting focusing on the captivating world of #Plant #HydroSensing 🧩@hydrosensing.bsky.social @hydrophotonics.bsky.social

Exciting ERC synergy project meeting in Regensburg 😊@hydrosensing.bsky.social @ntnudiscovery.bsky.social @uniofnottingham.bsky.social @uniregensburg.bsky.social

After our annual #HydroSensing meeting in Regensburg, we went for a hike.. of course with a subsequent data collection and data processing demonstration 😁 #Plant #cryoEM

the cryo-clipping-box for JEOL cryoARM... easy! #cryoEM

We've been using SerialEM 4.2.0 beta on our JEOL cryoARM-200 for a while now. The multi-record setup and coma vs. IS calibration routines are particularly helpful – they're user-friendly and consistently reliable. #cryoEM #SerialEM

Just another Friday evening cryoEM screening.. with pizza 😁 #cryoEM

“LeCun, who earned his bachelor's and Ph.D. in France , said the changes in the United States should be a wake-up call for European institutions and companies. "You may have an opportunity to attract some of the best scientists in the world," he wrote.” www.businessinsider.com/meta-yann-le...

„Jugend Forscht 2025” the German outreach - it’s the youth science competition aiming to interest young scholars in science - this year also #cryoEM

⭐8 days left to apply for 👇 postdoc position ⭐ and join an international group of great people😊

Our methods paper made it to bioRxiv: doi.org/10.1101/2025... Full #cryoET workflows for #plant tissues. Plus some general tricks and tweaks on serial Lift-Out and cryo-FLM. 🧪🧵1/5 #teamtomo #PlantScience #Physcomitrium #Arabidopsis #cryoEM #CLEM

temperature-controlled dewar from NanoSoft Materials (www.nanosoftmaterials.com). We are using it - no solidified ethane! Plus: if you happen to drop a grid in the brass cup the groove design on the bottom makes retrieval easy. Highly recommend. #cryoem #vitrification #microscopy #vitrobot
