Thrilled to share our new cryo-ET preprint on astrocytes, a collaboration with @mengmengfu.bsky.social here at @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social, revealing the nm-scale cytoskeletal architecture of ramified astrocytes reminiscing in vivo morphology. Check out the cytoskeleton compartmentalization!

A unique honor to become a Foreign Member of the @royalsociety.org, together with my @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social colleague Stuart Russell and old friends like John Briggs, Asia Akhtar, Patrick Cramer or Ruth Lehmann. Learning about great science and science history was a real treat.

Very grateful to the Menéndez Pelayo International University for awarding me an honorary doctorate last Tuesday, July 8th, in the incomparable setting of the Magdalena Palace (Santander). On Monday I enjoyed a conversation with those interested in my career and science.

Our work, co-led by @alfredo0712.bsky.social and @nlue8.bsky.social is out in @natsmb.nature.com Shout out to coauthors P.Grob, B. Kaeser, J.Fang, and S. Kassube for their contributions and thanks to the reviewers for the suggestions that led to the final work. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

So proud of the smashing success of the International Course in Biophysics co-organized with my @berkeleymcb.bsky.social colleague Carlos Bustamante and University of Salamanca @usaloficial.bsky.social biophysal.org Course ends with a Keynote from Nobel Laureate Richard Henderson🥇

Yesterday I had the pleasure to visit the Institute for Material Science in Madrid @icmm-csic.bsky.social. Thank you to Dr. Pedro Serana for his invitation to talk about cryo-EM and our latest microtubule studies 🧩🔬🧬

I spent a wonderful day in the Universidad de Córdoba at an interactive breakfast with faculty and students and giving a science presentation. Lovely to meet its Chancellor, Manuel Torralbo, and my friend and past collaborator Prof. Tina Domínguez-Martín.

It was an absolute pleasure to visit the IBiS, to meet its scientists, interact with its students, and visit beautiful Sevilla 🥰

Excited to have participated in the Third Symposium of Physical Chemistry in the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid @uam.es last week and honored that the Prizes for best student talk and best posters carried my name 🥰☺️

Que día tan emocionante volver a mi colegio en Colmenar Viejo y recibir el calor de sus profesores y sus alumnos. Gracias por darle mi nombre a vuestra biblioteca! 🥰

Deeply touched and honored by the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, my alma mater, (@uam.es) making me Doctor Honoris Causa. Thank you to the Department of Physical Chemistry for nominating me for this recognition. It was a memorable day for me and my family👩‍🎓

Like a dream, my name next to that of @isabelallende.com, and to be recognized by Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo UIMP. Soon after, Irene Vallejo @irenevalmore.bsky.social will receive the same honor. I feel proud to be linked to these truly inspiring, talented women! Thank you UIMP!

This week our lab had a double celebration: 1) Eva’s election into the @royalsociety.org and 2) Zhenlin’s new job in Southern University of Science and Technology, China. He will be missed but we wish him success and joy in his independent career!

Check out our review article on the structural and functional studies of retrotransposon proteins by @akankshathawani.bsky.social together with Kathy Collins' lab. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Check out our lab’s latest work on the regulation of transcription by RECQL5 helicase! This work was co-led by @alfredo0712.bsky.social and @nlue8.bsky.social, with contributions from Patricia Grob, Ben Kaeser, Jie Fang, and Susanne Kassube. 1/7 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I encourage you to apply and join us at @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social !

Our microtubule team at lunch with @ruizhangmt.bsky.social, who gave a spectacular seminar at UC Berkeley on his work on axonemes

The Cryo-EM: the next 50 years Symposium held yesterday at @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social was a smashing success!!

Work led by graduate student @trinitycookis.bsky.social and coauthors Alexandria Lydecker, @paulsauer.bsky.social, and @kasinath-lab.bsky.social is out today where we looked at the inhibition of PRC2 by histone PTMs associated with regions of active transcription. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

El #CSIC concede su Medalla Extraordinaria al Mérito Científico a la biofísica española Eva Nogales, pionera en el uso de criomicroscopía electrónica para visualizar funciones vitales de los componentes moleculares de las células del cuerpo. ¡Enhorabuena! https://bit.ly/4gsh3W7

Miles de gracias a la Universidad Carlos III de Madrid por un acto inolvidable durante mi investidura como Doctora Honoris Causa. Es un orgullo, un gran honor, ser un miembro de su grupo de doctores. Con ilusión por trabajar con ellos en el futuro. @uc3m.es

Eva Nogales received today a big Spanish prize ! The CSIC medal of excellence! So well deserved!

The registration deadline for the 1st 'Salamanca International Course on Advanced Biophysics and Structural Biology' at @usaloficial.bsky.social from 30 June to 5 July 2025, ends next Sunday. Organised by Profs. Carlos Bustamante and @nogaleslab.bsky.social (CNB-CSIC JAE Chair). biophysal.org

We are excited to announce the first Salamanca Biophysics Summer Course organized by Carlos Bustamante and Eva Nogales. See the flyer below and consider applying!

Hello Bluesky, the Nogales lab is very excited to join this growing community 🦋 We look forward to sharing our work here and to connect with other scientists!
