We have an opening for a 4 yr PhD interested in membrane remodelling and cryo-EM/ET of a minimal cell division machinery: edu.nl/bukan

You will be part of the EVOLF consortium in which 30 leading biochemists/biophysicists work together to explore if and how we can build autonomous synthetic cells.

Something that's come up in a few conversations and I think is underappreciated: the X-ray / cryo-EM structures you download from the PDB are average structures, but not *typical* structures: very few proteins in your sample actually look like that.

That is a great idea. Just adjusted my bluesky profile to contain my ORCID and my ORCID profile to contain the link to this bluesky account. So, if you want to verify that it is actually me, now you can.

Academics wanting to 'verify' their Bluesky profile as genuine might give an ORCID identifier in their profile and link back to their Bluesky profile from ORCID.

Mmseqs2-GPU integration is super fast. Helped a ton with an enzyme-substrate pair. It’s much better quality software engineering than most academic models and easy to use. Thanks @gcorso.bsky.social, you guys did great. I put some fun logos on OpenBioML you might find fun.
