Grad students and postdocs need our support.
I know the challenges they face firsthand. When I was at the university, I helped them secure funding, food, housing and heating.
They have the ideas, do research now, and are also the future of research.
Time to invest.

A postdoc position is available in our lab to study how ion channels communicate with one another. Cryo-EM, electrophysiology, protein biophysics. A great opportunity for structural biologists to learn electrophysiology methods or vice versa.

Hot of the press...a ribosome story with a twist! We show how the 3' to 5' exonuclease RNase R twists the head of the small 30S subunit by 160° to mediate degradation...rdcu.be/dx4V2
