🧠 Fully funded 4-year PhD studentship 🧠 Please repost BBSRC NWD project with @parikki.bsky.social and @iamabyron.bsky.social Come join us to look at how mechanical and oxidative stress signalling pathways converge on the synaptic scaffold protein talin. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Dr Emma Hesketh @heskethemma.bsky.social tells us about what we can do with the Midlands Regional CryoEM facility

Spread the word if you can. We have an unused stopped flow accessory from Applied Photophysics. We traded in our Chirascan CD instrument so we have no use for this anymore. Reach out if you are interested and can find a home for this setup. Will ofcourse only work with a Chirascan!

💠 The ACA community mourns the loss of Dr. Benno P. Schoenborn (1938–2025), a pioneer in neutron protein crystallography whose work transformed structural biology. Read more and share memories: 🔗 bit.ly/42wNvlM #crystallography #InMemoriam #ACACommunity #neutrondiffraction

✒️ Parliament has been accused of an “outrageous abuse” that is “worthy of the Trump White House”, after refusing to issue us a media pass. Thousands have signed a petition calling on the government to give us access. Help defend press freedom, sign today. secure.declassifieduk.org/page/178447/...

How do protons get delivered to the active site of heme peroxidases? A combination of solvent channels and electric fields, say @petermoody.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Well over 600 signatories now. Please keep the momentum going. Sign and share to show how much the wider scientific community is concerned by the Royal Society's silence over Musk's FRS. Members of the UK and international scientific community are all welcome to sign.

Really cool project to work on, happy to see it out!

Crystals on front cover of Imperial alumni mag! 👍Shame the story it links to is narcissistic self-congratatory bollocks

Wow! A real honour to be included on this year's list, thanks @quantamagazine.bsky.social and of course all the vital collaborators involved in the work youtu.be/p9XHI_26cPE?...

Thank you everyone who contributed, I will post a list later.

Electron diffraction! From the awesome Hanna Kwon and Marcus Gallagher-Jones

Great to see it out! Paper itself wouldn't be possible, of course, without a veritable horde of collaborators, and thanks very much for @jonlambert.bsky.social for writing such a wonderful commentary!

Our manuscript describing the VMXm beamline at Diamond Light Source is out! The manuscript describes how we coupled a nano focus X-ray beam with an innovative in vacuum sample position to measure micron sized crystals and build a unique MX beamline. journals.iucr.org/s/issues/202...

Tomorrow, in Bath, I'm giving a public talk on early life and some of my most recent research, if you have nothing better to do and are in the area please drop by: www.brlsi.org/whatson/luca...
