📣 The #GE3C has awarded the Gold Medal 🎖️, its highest distinction, to Professor Santiago García Granda, from the University of Oviedo and President of the IUCr, in recognition of his extensive and outstanding 🔝 scientific career in the field of crystallography 💎.

Spanish delegation at #ECM35 in Poznan!!! #ECA

In the afternoon happy to Chair Simona Fermani´ Keynote lecture on the CB cycle regulation.Example of SAX-Mx-CryoEM use to answer biological questions. #ECM35

Yesterday we Chair a great morning session on Nucleation at #ECM35. We thank the speakers and the audience for such a nice environment.

Sorry, it is in Spanish.. x.com/i/status/195...

Me preguntan por la financiación de distintas áreas. Son muchas... Aquí pongo de ejemplo una humanidades (Historia), una de ciencias "básicas" (Química) y una de biomedicina (Cáncer). La financiación media varía mucho, claro, pero el raquitismo relativo se mantiene... 😕

Special thanks to our collaborators @jouline.bsky.social & @gavirius.bsky.social

The fourth talk of the 5th Virtual ChemBioTalks will be given by @cathleenzeymer.bsky.social. She will talk about her group’s exciting research under the title “Design and directed evolution of artificial photoenzymes”. Make sure to register for free: https://cvent.me/G1geWW

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.

This is some really cool natural history, but I don’t like the spin that Science is putting on it. I don’t see any reason to think it’s evolving into a virus and the one outside researcher that they spoke to was dubious as well.

I am really happy to share with you our latest publication on turning the inhibiting nucleation effect of silica gel on protein crystallization by increasing the hydrophobicity through controlled functional modification. #chembio, #ge3c-rseqf pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

In @jotdown.es, about The Reinvention of Science (doi.org/10.1142/q0394): "the book makes justice to many female scientists, highlighting the importance of their contributions (and alas, the way in which those contributions were often neglected, mistreated or simply stolen by men)" ⚛️🔭🧪 #WomenInSTEM

We are very happy. The Editors of Journal of Applied Crystallography have chosen figures from our article (journals.iucr.org/j/issues/202...) to feature as the cover image for the February 2025 issue. THANKS

Love this insight on the AI tools Alphafold 3, Boltz and Chai-1 in antibody engineering (my day job). “It appears that these models well understand how antibodies fold, but not how they bind.” Thanks @btnaughton.bsky.social Post: blog.booleanbiotech.com/alphafold3-b...

I am truly glad that, after decades of foreign members in the lab enduring all kinds of bureaucratic hassles—if not outright humiliations—just to work with us (I could write a book on this), the @CSIC has finally published a proper guide on how to join us www.csic.es/en/internati...

This is essential for non-specialized and widely read journals @naturechemistry.bsky.social @natureportfolio.bsky.social @acspublications.bsky.social and Reviewers should consider this mandatory, since otherwise it is impossible to verify that single crystal structures are not made up, literally

Big announcement 📢🚨 The ISCB 3DSig together with the 3DBioinfo @ELIXIREurope community we are organising a joint conference in Barcelona March 19-21, 2025! If you work in Structural Bioinformatics or Computational Biophysics communities register ASAP! Only 120 spots! www.iscb.org/3dbioinfo202...

Just did my first Starter Pack, I think it can be useful. Let me know if you miss any journal and I will add it. Enjoy!! go.bsky.app/QPFZpj9
