Exciting time with the arrival of our brand new and very cute JEOL 120i. It will share its accommodation with its arch-rival the TFS L120c 🤣 . May the best survive. @jeoleurope.bsky.social @unimelb.bsky.social @bio21director.bsky.social

Our old Tecnai F20 has now left the lab for better skies after over 20 years of faithful service. Hopefully it will be very useful to its new owner. @bio21director.bsky.social @unimelb.bsky.social @thermofishersci.bsky.social

My longest ever running project, all the stars finally aligned after 13 years! Thank you to Eric Reynolds group for sharing the journey. #bio21-institute, #university-of-melbourne. @sepidehv.bsky.social @craigmorton.bsky.social @debnathghosal.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Insights into type IX secretion from PorKN cogwheel structure bound to PorG and attachment complexes - Nature Communications

Type IX secretion system (T9SS) is required for protein export in the Bacteroidota. Here, the authors obtain structure of T9SS PorKN ring which resembles a cogwheel that may have a rotational movement...

"Productivity reform starts with public science" by Nathan Garland @n8sci.bsky.social has some worthy suggestions for improving productivity. In news we all know – but the Government seems to like ignoring – it'll help to fund more basic science research! nathangarland.substack.com/p/productivi...

A great week at @oistedu.bsky.social finishing 🥲. If scientific paradise existed this would be pretty close
