I knew I saw this somewhere before. Funny that it’s almost exactly what’s actually happening now.

Now, this is officially a problem. MSCA fellowships need to be competitive, but it cannot be a lottery. Time to focus on the core mission of supporting science and ditching all vanity initiatives in the Horizon Europe program. (Looking at ERC super-grants...)

Thanks to @actacrystf.iucr.org for highlighting our smart 2D selection tool CryoSift. You can test it yourself here cryosift.org

You can do this right now: Think of a person who wrote a paper you love, whose work influenced or helped you, or has made your professional life better. Search up their email address. Shoot them a quick email of thanks. It means so, so much. This is a rough time of year, share some joy.

We have many other interviews you might find interesting – please have a look at our playlist and give them a watch, there are lots of interesting stories to discover: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

CryoSift uses a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for assessing the quality of 2D averages to enable the automatic selection of suitable particles for high-resolution reconstructions. The interview discusses aspects such as how to avoid bias, dealing with errors, automation in Cryo-EM and others.

New interview alert! We had a chat with Mike Cianfrocco, Scott Stagg and Jan-Hannes Schäfer about their CryoSift tool – details in the thread. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROlc...

Letter to the editor: Remember the red bus? Brexiters said EU money would go to the NHS. Instead, our most deprived communities lost billions in EU investment – and got slogans about “pride” instead.
