Happy Wednesday.

Look, people. We have superb keynotes, we are giving prizes, we are giving postdocs a megaphone to tell everyone why they should be hired. This is the meeting to be at. Sign up, join us, and have the time of your life while discussing science with people that know where the cleithrum is🐟🧪

There will be a Prize for the best Postdoc to PI talk and for talks and posters throughout the meeting 🧪

The A-minor switch - check out our latest preprint (link below)

Katja Petzold@katjapetzold.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Imagine if one of RNA’s most common 3D contacts could switch off and on. We identified the A-minor switch that can reversibly “escape” their tertiary contacts, revealing a dynamic regulatory layer in RNA structure (shown by NMR & Cryo-EM and assayed in ribosomes). #RNA #NMR #dynamics #ribosome

curious about dynamic states in DNA or better methods to detect them? Have a look at our recent work using 1H R1ρ RD NMR on hoogsteen to WCF equilibrium.

www.nature.com/articles/s41... We detected a third, previously hidden conformation, an intermediate state ES2 in DNA base pair dynamics rewriting a decade old assumption that they are a simple two-state system.

Incredibly proud and happy for @sandehaan.bsky.social , my former PhD student, who has won the Award for Best PhD thesis in Swedish Developmental Biology 2023-2025, from @swedbo.bsky.social (the Swedish Developmental Biology Organization)! Congratulations!! www.swedbo.se/2026/05/08/w...

"Why is publishing so expensive?" It's a question I hear all the time, so we at @biologists.bsky.social thought we'd try to dispel some of the myths around publishing economics & provide transparency around our costs. Today, we publish editorials in all 5 of our journals - links in the thread below.

Fun fact: A “Lord of the Flies” type thing actually DID happen…to a bunch of young boys of color (AHEM!) from Tonga… …and they did NOT devolve into violence and mayhem. They created their own rules and took care of each other until they were rescued by a fisherman over a year later!
