What a night! We heard about how hearing aids are being developed with machine learning, how primary wildlife data is being used to design art and music, and there was even a big collaborative piece of art! #pint25

Exciting to see our time-resolved #cryoEM device developed by @stemuench.bsky.social & colleagues in action at the CCPEM Spring Symposium!
Brilliant talk by @scarfflab.bsky.social showing how it helped to visualize the elusive actomyosin primed complex & demonstrate the swinging lever mechanism.
