According to the parliamentary annual report & accounts for the 2025/26 financial year, the cost of subsidising the bars in the House of Commons alone was around £5.8 million. Meanwhile, to save £3 million less than that, Jodrell Bank is being defunded and shut down. share.google/MRHIvCsCsKoc...

We are hosting candidates to apply for a PhD position with a full salary at University of Helsinki. This will be a co-supervised project with the group of Alexander Mühleip to study function, structures and draggability of ER protein translocation in different parasitic organisms.
Happy that our most recent paper on nucleotide excision repair mechanisms has now been published in Science Advances. This project was led by @natalia-mg.bsky.social and @callumhaste.bsky.social and focused on visualising early steps of the NER process by #cryoEM. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
🚀 Can automation solve preferred orientation in your #cryoEM datasets? After automating processing across 21 GPCR datasets in #CryoSPARC, we updated the workflow to be even more robust to preferred orientation, achieving improved map quality over manual processing. Read more 👉 bit.ly/3RyOIGG

Doctoral and Postdoctoral Researcher Positions in the Cluster of Excellence ‘Microbes for Climate’stellenangebote.uni-marburg.deToday I'm posting a blog about another ridiculous antibody blunder. Dozens of papers in the senescence and ageing field have mistakenly used an antibody for E. coli β-galactosidase when trying to stain for the human protein with the same name. forbetterscience.com/2026/07/21/d...
