I recently wrote a 1page "Highlight" article for the Swiss Journal @chimiajournal.bsky.social about the #single-molecule perspective on biomolecular dynamics and experiments: Beyond 3D Structures: New Ways to Study Biomolecular Gymnastics www.chimia.ch/chimia/artic...

Early rise for me today (3:45 😱) to get in time to our #Nanopore consortium meeting with #GiovanniMaglia & @ceesdekker.bsky.social groups at Amsterdam airport. So curious about their newest results! 🤩 We approached in style: ✈️ flying over Dutch (modern) windmills... Beautiful – even for train fans.

Single-molecule friends! The prelim. program of next year's sm- #Gordon conference in Switzerland is online: www.grc.org/single-molec... It'll be 3x fantastic: science, people, place in the alps ⛰️. Kevin & I hope to see you all next June: Have a look, tell your friends, and register!

"If it needs to be fast..." says this lift ad... 🤭 Have a good weekend you all! seen at: www.srf.ch/static/cms/i...

Wow, @natnano.nature.com is down? 🤔

🚀 Got cool science to share? Join the Young Scientists’ Satellite in Zürich 🇨🇭 on Feb 10, 2026 to: *Talk about your research *Chat about AI & science comms *Win prizes & meet mentors ▶️ Find out more → annual-meeting.ls2.ch/2026/special...

A new one to me: a protein structure board game. You can download a PDF, and print out the parts, or play online ⬇️ (Age 10+)

Happy Swiss National Day! 🇨🇭 with phenomenal fireworks above the Rhine in Basel. A day to be thankful for the unearned privilege of freedom, safety, welfare, and the stable democracy. 🤝🤝🤝

💥 We have 3 positions open in my lab in Basel, Switzerland🇨🇭: #nanopores #smFRET #biomolecular #dynamics #singleMolecules We’re looking for talented & ambitious new colleagues enthusiastic about biomolecular dynamics & single-molecule tech. Please share broadly, thank you!🤝 schmid.chemie.unibas.ch

#smFRET for the win! What can be more convincing than seeing proteins in action. (Here through DNA-labelling.)

#smFRET-lovers! Imagine, you got nice burst data with freely diffusing molecules 🙌🔬 BUT 1) Immobilization does not work🧲🤬 2) Transitions are longer than diffusion time, but shorter than frametime of your TIRF⏱️ Solution: try ABEL-trap!💕 📜bioRxiv: doi.org/10.1101/2025.07.22.666123

Fantastic to see: 657'291 ppl saw the #EURO2025 in one of the 8 stadiums in Switzerland. #newRECORD

Congrats #England!! ⚽ #EURO2025 Thanks for the show throughout the tournament #Spain!

Let's go! #EURO2025 #Basel One last game – I'll miss it. :)

All set for the final in Basel 📍⚽️ adidasfootball || #adidasNTF

📍 The final location 😍 #WEURO2025

Quick! 💣💥 Dont miss to sign up for the "Spreng-Vorlesung" @unibas.ch – the explosive lecture for all ages! #TheMagicOfChemistry 🌐: St. Johanns-Ring 19, 4056 #Basel ⏰: Fri or Sat Sept 12 or 13, at 11am and 2pm each (=4 shows!) RSVP: chemie.unibas.ch/en/sprengvor...

Good morning, with impressions from our Dept white board: ex-cell-ent vibes, I'd say...: 🙃😅 ...and we have 1-2-3 openings coming up!

As a man who moves around this host-city every day and lives close to the stadium, I highly recommend handing over this entire sport to women. Then it's back to the love of the game and it's fun to watch

And btw, this is #football, how it should ALWAYS be: Full passion, incredible goals & games, NO violence. #EURO2025

What a special experience #EURO2025 #FRAGER: #Basel full of French & German ⚽ fans both claiming a 'home game' at the border triangle... All super passionate, yet a friendly atmosphere!👍 Also, well deserved AK Berger: player of the match! 110min numerical superiority by 🇫🇷 – how can they STILL lose?

😅

What an incredible game again! #SWEENG Wow!! #EURO2025

SWEDEN TAKES THE LEAD LESS THAN 2 MINUTES IN! 🇸🇪

Oh my God!! #Italy have scored!! So late in the game!! A beautiful cross falls perfectly for who else but Cristiana Girelli to power it past the keeper. 2-1 Italy! 🇮🇹 #WOSO #WEURO #EURO2025 #WEURO2025 #FOOTBALL

Nice, Achilles & Mirjam & all! One step closer to smFRET without bleaching limitation. 👍

7(!) goals ⚽, a fun crowd and great company - this was a blast yesterday! #EURO2025 #ENGWAL

Finally, stadium matchday for us in #St.Gallen! #EURO2025 #kybunpark And all-British #ENGWAL promises amazing goals, for sure! The choice of teams is (admittedly) random – but the joy is real! ...for my ⚽-fanatic niece, nephew, sister & me. 😃

Let's go! #EURO2025 #SWEGER

Just wrote down my inside tips for friends visiting #Basel. Here they are - sharing is caring... (translatable German): docs.google.com/document/d/1... Feel free to comment yours!

The world: 😱 Swiss people: pretty normal... I mean it's okay, you know: 🙃 Just piles of stones ⛰️, partly overgrown. Actually, they block the view, the evening sun, and they shrink the horizon – sometimes quite literally, unfortunately...

#TeamReuteler – popular opinion...⚽

Perks of living in🇨🇭: great lab outing options nearby... This time high above Solothurn with Aare & Bielersee in the back. Great fun with this awesome team – aka #thePotluckChampions!!

BioEmu now published in @science.org !! What is BioEmu? Check out this video: youtu.be/LStKhWcL0VE?...

SWITZERLAND SCORES THE EQUALIZER! 🇨🇭 THE HOSTS ARE ALIVE AND WOULD ADVANCE IF THE SCORE HOLDS! 🤯 🎥: Foxsoccer via X

Yes! Quarter finals for Switzerland! #EURO2025 #FINSUI With the closest possible last-minute score, incl. foul penalty against 🇨🇭 and late goal by Reuteler-Xhemaili! #TeamReuteler!!!😃

Oh, just in case you missed it: #EURO2025 #FINSUI Finland : Switzerland play in Geneva for the quarter final ticket. Still 0:0 shortly before half time – so far so good: a draw would suffice Switzerland...

20 years of #NanoScience studies @unibas.ch in general! Had lots of fun at the anniversary party organised by @nanoscience.ch for alumni and all involved – big THANKS! – so cool to catch up again after all the years, and hear old & new stories!
