Organelles do NOT have a single uniform pH. And if you think they must, because “protons diffuse fast,” this paper is for you. A thread on why that assumption is wrong; and what we found instead. 🧵 1/n

I am very much looking forward to an inspiring week at #Mifobio2025 - thanks for the invite! I am counting on learning new exciting (pun intended) insights on fluorescence and happy to share our experience and vision on large throughput #smFRET .

Are you interested in Biomolecular Condensates and looking for a PhD training? Check out the 12 (!) open PhD positions (also 1 on smFRET & condensates 🙃) in Dresden @rtg3120.bsky.social @tudresden.bsky.social starting April 2026. Apply latest by 24 Oct 2025 here: dresdencondensates.org/join-us/

💥 We have 3 positions open in my lab in Basel, Switzerland🇨🇭: #nanopores #smFRET #biomolecular #dynamics #singleMolecules We’re looking for talented & ambitious new colleagues enthusiastic about biomolecular dynamics & single-molecule tech. Please share broadly, thank you!🤝 schmid.chemie.unibas.ch

JOB OPENING for biochemist/-physicst 🧑‍🔬: This isn't an official job ad yet. We are looking for a postdoc working on large to high throughout single-molecule FRET on protein structures and dynamics. The project will be run in our lab and co-directed jointly with a team from big pharma/biotech. 1/2

Experience with HEK293 or similar expression very helpful, smFRET nice to have though we can teach that ;). Great project to have a look at the academia and industry world. 👀 Interested candidates please write me an email with motivation and CV. Starting in autumn 2025. Please re-post. 2/2
