Australian Grant assessors- can we please stop adding useless comments like ‘‘big papers from post doc in established international lab but has not proven themselves here yet”. It’s REALLY hard to move countries, set up an independent team, and produce high impact work in under 3 years.

So good having you David!!

Thank you @rosemaryjcater.bsky.social for a fantastic visit to UQ’s Institute for Molecular Bioscience!! Wonderful day chatting about the spectacular science in Brisbane, and squeezing in some time to visit the local fauna.

Day 5 @olibclarke.bsky.social did double duty talking about model building & validation and giving a Coot/chimeraX tutorial. Also Justin Flatt from the @rcsbpdb.bsky.social shared best practices for #cryoEM deposition & validation.

Congratulations to the Cater Lab's first ever graduate Parteek! Bachelor of Advanced Scince with First Class Honours - we are SO proud of you! Looking forward to another year of fun in the lab together in 2026! 🎓🔬🧪✨

I am thrilled to release ProteinDJ: a high-performance and modular protein design pipeline. Our open-source workflow incorporates #RFdiffusion, #ProteinMPNN, #FAMPNN, #AlphaFold2 and #Boltz-2. It is a fast, free, and fun way to design proteins (1/5) doi.org/10.1101/2025.09.24.678028 #proteindesign

Thank you to all of our plenary speakers for sharing your incredible research with us at #ASBMB2025! @nanigrotjahn.bsky.social @ajknights7.bsky.social Michelle Haber and Randal Halfmann. We have loved having you all in Brisbane and hearing about your labs awesome work! 🦠🧬🧪🧫🔬

And that's a wrap! A huge shout out goes to our conference chair Michael Landsberg @dr-berger.bsky.social and the rest of the organizing committee for putting together such a vibrant #ASBMB2025! See you all at #ComBio2026!

Why are biological membranes asymmetric, with different lipids in the two bilayer leaflets? Discovered in the 70s, lipid asymmetry is linked to many cellular processes, but why the cell needs it is largely unclear. @pavelbarahtjan.bsky.social addresses this question: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

One more sleep to the @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social CRT Symposium on tomorrow morning bright and early! Join us in Petree Hall C at 8.30am.

Our inspirational Leach Lecturer Frances Separovic. A champion of women in STEM. "A reluctant chemist". Croatia to Broken Hill. A peace lover. First in family to finish primary school. And one cool Professor 😎. #LorneProteins2025

50 years of Lorne Proteins on one stage! Happy anniversary to us 😁 and the supportive and inclusive research culture we've built 🫶 #LorneProteins2025

Session 9: Mitch O'Connell bacterial/bacteriophage arms race. Small RNAs to mount an adaptive MGE immune response. CRISPR RNA defence systems. How does Cas13 work as an enzyme to target RNA? Csx28 128 aa protein, TM, cyt. Co-opt membrane effectors? 👏 #LorneProteins2025

Session 10 Ibrahim Cissé-Super-res imaging of transcription. Cooperativity in weak & transient biological interactions. PolII clustering in a cell nucleus w STORM. Limitations for weak and transient interactions. Lightsheet microscopy to follow polymerase condensates & gene bursts #LorneProteins2025

Excellent talk, impressive techniques, definitely going to look into biomolecular condensates in prokaryotes
