Dear cryo-EM women scientists, We want to honor you and your contributions at BPS 2025. This year, the Cryo-EM subgroup will honor a mid/senior-career woman scientist as the inaugural June Almeida awardee. June Almeida is the virologist who first discovered the coronavirus in 1967 using negative stain electron microscopy. Her story, like many women we know, is remarkable. womenshistory.org/education-… It is in the spirit of June Almeida’s innovative research that this award is named. The awardee, in addition to receiving an honorarium, will present their research at the BPS CryoEM Subgroup Symposium. The deadline for nominations for the Almeida Award is November 1st, and details of the award and the application process can be found at (biophysics.org/Awards-Fundin…). Nomination packets should be sent to bps.cryo.em.subgroup@gmail.com. Questions? Contact @OliBClarke, me, @MeghnaG27 @PilarCossio2 or @10feng ♥️We sincerely hope to see you at BPS 2025 in LA to celebrate achievements and advances in cryo-EM!

Excited to share my final PostDoc work! Introducing MagIC-cryo-EM🪄 & DuSTER🧹, these methods reduce cryo-EM sample requirements (0.0005 mg/mL), enabling ALL biologists to explore the structural basis of diverse biological events! BioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Check out our latest paper about glutaminase filament on @NatureComms! In this paper, we used #CryoEM and light scattering to show that the filament formation of glutaminase is coupled with its activity. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

The CRY:TIM complex shows how the N-terminus of TIM replaces the autoinhibitory C-terminal Tail (CTT) of CRY, which establishes the mechanism of photosensory transduction based on our and other labs.
