Parenting is not what you expect it to be. "Daddy why is the sky blue?" I could handle. Forward Rayleigh scattering is stronger for blue light. I can even explain it to my 5yo, quite well. "Daddy who wrote the bible? They probably made a lot of money." is a different level.

About a year ago I heard that EBI had to ask TikTok (yes really) to stop scraping the EMDB so aggressively. As it turns out, ByteDance was training an EM reconstruction model. Funny how the world works sometimes.

Vaults look like their own FSC.

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!
