Interested in membrane protein structure, folding, interactions and function? We're looking for a creative, talented post-doc to join our bacterial outer membrane team @RadfordLab @naranson in the @AstburyCentre, on a new @The_MRC programme grant.

Installation and training on our new Dianthus from @NanoTemper
Binding assays especially for tricky systems - membrane proteins, multi-molecular complexes and small molecule libraries.
Many thanks @The_MRC for funding.

Just in time for Christmas! Excited to see our fibril structures published, showing changing polymorphism of IAPP during the course of amyloid assembly. As always, brilliant team effort from the amyloid team, thanks all @AstburyCentre @naranson

I’m gutted to miss @alessiociulli today, but it’s very bad form for the @AstburyCentre director to share his chest infection with the speaker and the whole centre!

Looking forward to visiting the @AstburyCentre to give the Astbury seminar and catching up with many colleagues and friends especially @FrankSobott @UoDCeTPD

Absolutely thrilled to see this out at last in @NatureChemistry, and looking forward to more exciting discoveries with Jon and friends thanks to brand new funding from @The_MRC. Watch this space for a stellar postdoc opportunity next year. @RadfordLab @AstburyCentre

Lovely bit of work. Congrats Sofia, Sjors and team... I had the privilege of being external examiner for her thesis and saw this beautiful work a few months ago.
I'm still very jealous!

Well that's a great and difficult question! (
1) Have a great story...
(2) Speak to a professional! We worked with
@jeroen_claus from @phospho biomedical animation. Who I can't recommend highly enough

(6) A major challenge for me at least is dealing with tension between scientific accuracy, artistic license/vision and accessibility.
Are you making a graphical abstract, a work of art or an infographic? Which compromises are you going to make (because you WILL make some)!

(7) Then it's an iterative processes of tweaking the science and the visuals to make something (hopefully) beautiful and accessible.
