Just learned from Cees Dekker's post that he is being honored with the 2026 Biochemical Society Award for Significant Breakthrough or Achievement! Very happy for him and BIG CONGRATULATIONS! :-) He continually inspires the nanopore community with the amazing achievements from his team at Delft.

A PhD position is open for this year. A candidate should have a background in programming skills.

Ah, okay! I did not catch the “when”. :-) So, November 2026 will be the time for #SMPS5!

#SMPS4 What a wonderful conference it has been! Thanks @chancao.bsky.social for organising! And looking forward already to SMPS5 in Thailand! 🇹🇭

Nice to also hear about #nanopores in 2D materials in the last talk for today by Wei-Lun Hsu here at #SMPS4

Even as a vegetarian, I enjoyed the refreshing talk of Marija Drndić! ;-) Featuring “Calvin, the #nanopore”. :-) Music with one video certainly helped to energize the audience!

Inspiring talk by Amit Meller here at #SMPS4 in which he also extolled the virtues of solid-state #nanopores (such as higher capture rates). :-)

Excited to join Bluesky today! As an ion channel biophysicist, Professor at Duke Neurobiology, and Director of Graduate Studies I will be sharing my insights. Plus the occasional post of my private life. Please help me connect to my community by sharing this post.

The group photo of #SMPS4 (taken just before lunch) is already online for everyone to see! :-)

@ceesdekker.bsky.social presenting a flurry of results here at #SMPS4. Amazing how many cutting edge projects are conducted in his lab! Take-away: #nanopores are super sensitive sensors, but sometimes you need a helping hand from modelling and simulations. :-)

Just in time for #SMPS4! I will present some results from this paper during my talk on Thursday.

💥RSC CNN Paper of the Week💥 Detection and distinction of amino acids and post-translational modifications with gold nanojunctions Scheicher* (Uppsala University) Amorim, Nanoscale,10.1039/D4NR03359K #Chemsky #nanosky #Science

Great to hear the latest about the NEOtrap from @scisonja.bsky.social highlighting the work from Chenyu Wen (now at UU) and @ceesdekker.bsky.social who also happened to be chairing the session here at #SMPS4

The single molecule protein sequencing conference SMPS2025 has been opened by organizers @chancao.bsky.social and Denis Garoli! www.smps2025.com #SMPS4

So glad to be here at #SMPS4 meeting many old friends and colleagues, and learning about the latest in #nanopore sequencing of proteins! Looking forward to a great week together here in Bolzano! :-) www.smps2025.com

Did you know that there will be a #nanopore meeting in Tokyo from March 14-15, 2025? Well, you do now! ;-) web.tuat.ac.jp/~rjkawano/NP...

In a few minutes, it is John M. Jumper's turn to give a public lecture here at Uppsala University. You can stream it live here: www.uu.se/en/events/20... #AlphaFold #protein

You can still submit articles for the collection "Nanopore applications beyond DNA sequencing" before January 24! www.nature.com/collections/... #nanopore

Like so many others now, switching over from X to Bluesky and hope to make connections here with new and old friends! Still in the process of setting things up, but looking forward to read interesting posts here and share with you all anything noteworthy from my side. :-)
