Exciting time with the arrival of our brand new and very cute JEOL 120i. It will share its accommodation with its arch-rival the TFS L120c 🤣 . May the best survive. @jeoleurope.bsky.social @unimelb.bsky.social @bio21director.bsky.social

Our old Tecnai F20 has now left the lab for better skies after over 20 years of faithful service. Hopefully it will be very useful to its new owner. @bio21director.bsky.social @unimelb.bsky.social @thermofishersci.bsky.social

My longest ever running project, all the stars finally aligned after 13 years! Thank you to Eric Reynolds group for sharing the journey. #bio21-institute, #university-of-melbourne. @sepidehv.bsky.social @craigmorton.bsky.social @debnathghosal.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Open house for the institute yesterday. Great public turn out and engagement. Thanks to my team Ian Holmes Imaging Centre for the support. @bio21director.bsky.social

Time-resolved cryo-electron microscopy can resolve protein motion on millisecond or even microsecond timescales, but the need for highly specialized tools and skills limits the method’s reach www.nature.com/artic...

"Productivity reform starts with public science" by Nathan Garland @n8sci.bsky.social has some worthy suggestions for improving productivity. In news we all know – but the Government seems to like ignoring – it'll help to fund more basic science research! nathangarland.substack.com/p/productivi...

A great week at @oistedu.bsky.social finishing 🥲. If scientific paradise existed this would be pretty close

🎥 New #volumeEM Video Alert: AI Segmentation in Volume Electron Microscopy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIoz... Segmentation is key to analyzing 3D volume EM data. Learn how semantic, instance, and panoptic methods isolate structures like mitochondria, nuclei, and cytoplasm in complex tissues.

Excited to share that our work on a family of pore-forming proteins is now live in Science Advances! We show structural snapshots across the entire pore-forming pathway for a cholesterol-dependent cytolysin-like (CDCL) bicomponent system.

The Translational Research Institute in Brisbane has an opening for a Microscopy Officer to work with @microscopemark.bsky.social. Please forward on to anyone that you think may be interested. Closing date 16th March 2025, for more info and to apply visit seek.com.au/job/82343625

Looking forward to hosting everyone in #Melbourne. Applications are open now!

Do you want to know if you have what it takes to work in a large centralised EM platform, short stint just to see ! come and join us jobs.unimelb.edu.au/en/job/91932...

Just because it's a homo-oligomer, don't assume it's symmetric! @benjabsnt.bsky.social & collaborators used cryo-EM to study the transthyretin (TTR) tetramer (55 kDa), shedding light on its misfolding pathways linked to amyloid disease. Now in peer-reviewed form: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Make new collaborations and networks across Australia, Asia and beyond? Join ut at #APMC13 in Brisbane Feb2-7 2025. See you there!

Three weeks left before APMC13 in Brisbane. Come and join is for some microscopy bonanza www.apmc13-2025.org

Tomo10 is coming to Melbourne in a couple of weeks. If you have not registered yet it is lot too late. Great line up of speakers from around the planet www.electron-tomography.org

Thanks everyone for fabulous talks and interactions at the New Technologies for Probing #Plasmodium Machinery Round Table @Bio21Institute. Post-@MAM2024 fun, including a tour of the amazing Bio21 EM Facility.

End of year lab lunch to farewell two of our members, welcome a new one and celebrate a very busy 2024 year at IHIC Bio21 institute university of Melbourne
