Excited to attend the EMBO Computational Structural Biology workshop to discuss structural automation @exscientiaAI. Automated protein structure preparation with robust validation provides a wealth of high-quality structural data for AI-led small-molecule design. #EMBOComp3D

Thrilled to share this exciting collaborative work, featuring cool structural bioinformatics from my PhD and brilliant cell biology / biophysics from @RepAlison and Jen's von Einem's group @uni_ulm
We know eukaryotes and bacteria encode #ESCRT proteins, but what about viruses? Our new preprint suggests they do! doi.org/10.1101/2024.01.04.5… 🧵on HCMV's pUL71 novel VPS4 recruitment motif, plus figures from the paper reimagined by Taylor Swift because, well, why not? #LoveVirology

Can you believe it? #EMBOComp3D is already over 🥲 More than 270 eager and active participants enjoyed a 4-day progamme full of fantastic keynote lectures, presentations, and poster sessions. 👏 A big thank you to the organisers for delivering such a high quality event.

Don’t bother ordering with @sofadotcom. They will take your money then deliver nothing. Phone lines closed, you might eventually get a copy/paste acknowledgement via email if you are lucky. Purchase elsewhere.

“Our phone lines are closed, but we might email you back in 2 weeks. In the meantime, you are welcome to place an order that we will not fulfil!” 🤡 @sofadotcom @financialombuds

Another day enjoying my lovely new sofa from @sofadotcom! My guests at the weekend were so impressed too!! 😍🥰 Particularly glad I paid £119 for their “white glove” delivery service so that they could keep my money and ghost me - highly recommended if you enjoy being mugged!

For the benefit of @sofadotcom, who couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery, this is ✨sarcasm✨ and you should be ashamed

Any danger of a response today @sofadotcom? Or should we just cancel? Extremely sick of the silence when you have our money.
Replying to @sofadotcom
@sofadotcom Can you please explain why you didn’t deliver what we paid for or organise another date? It’s clear from other messages that this is a widespread issue - we will be getting a refund and contacting trading standards if you don’t contact us soon RE our specific case.

Really enjoying sitting on my living room floor admiring the invoice with *£119 delivery fee* - this is nothing short of a scam and appalling customer service @sofadotcom
