Thanks to all who attended the #BPS2025 #cryoem symposium yesterday, and the happy hour last night!

We heard some superb science at the symposium and had some great discussions which were continued in the evening.

And congratulations to Dr. Elizabeth Wright, our inaugural Almeida Award winner!

A new statistical metric for robust target detection in cryo-EM using 2D template matching

A novel statistical metric for 2D template matching (2DTM), the 2DTM p-value, has been developed to improve the detection of targets in cryo-EM images under various imaging and sample conditions, particularly for smaller and aspherical targets.
