This one was quite the journey! The paper describing the #ChlamyDataset is finally out and on the cover of Mol Cell! This beautiful rendering made by co-author @jessheebner.bsky.social and Holly Peterson shows an instance of mitochondrial fission found in the dataset 😍 [Maybe long thread ahead]

JOB ALERT! 📢 For the scientists who love science communication: we’re hiring at @kurzgesagt.org !🌍 Come join our team, the vibes are impeccable. ✍️ Scriptwriter (Remote) kurzgesagt.org/careers/scri... 🔍 Fact-Checker & Researcher (Munich/Berlin/Remote) kurzgesagt.org/careers/seni...

When you get the reputation of being the guy with the encouraging words on New Year's Eve, it can start to come through as a little pressure -- what if the situation on the ground is worse than usual? what if people are more scared than they usually are, and with cause? what use are good vibes then?

This might be my favorite piece of conference swag ever. My 5yo is obsessed with it. #cellbio2025 @jcb.org

If you're passionate about #SciArt and #SciComm, don't miss our exciting session today at #ASCB #CellBio2025! Thank you @ascbiology.bsky.social!

All #CellBio2025 attendees! Here’s our phenomenal lineup for our session on #SciArt & #SciComm: @ahnaskop.bsky.social, @jiwasa.bsky.social, @mag2art.bsky.social, @nat-prunet.bsky.social, and Julia Licholai. Please come by and spread the word! Huge thanks to @ascbiology.bsky.social and co-organizers!

What are your plans for #cellbio2025 ? Aside from eating too much at Reading Terminal Market and wandering the Christmas Market in my spare time... Come find me to chat all things segmentation (and come see my work displayed along the back wall of the Thermo Fisher booth!)

Going to #ASCB2025 in Philly? Come find me! I'll be haunting the Thermo Fisher booth and wandering the conference. I'd love love love to talk all things segmentation! Let's get coffee. Show me your data. Reach out!

📣 New paper alert! Just out in Cell Reports! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40644298/ Thrilled to share that we have discovered a brand-new anti-phage defense system! Bacteria have evolved various defense strategies (CRISPR etc) to counter phage attacks. We found a new one - fascinating and dramatic ⚔️🦠❄️🔬

NEW! Hydra Bio Plasma-FIB features AI protocols for bio specimens. Capture high-res 3D data from cryo-preserved or resin-embedded samples & generate high-quality cryo lamellae. Register for June 24 webinar to learn from users how they've enhanced their #volumeEM and #teamtomo prep. ter.li/d8b427

Can't wait to try this out! I have loved seeing my segmentations come to life in Blender

We're on the cover of @science.org this week. Awesome work by @florentwaltz.bsky.social. #CryoET is reaching crazy resolutions inside cells, and this is just the beginning. Fantastic interpretation of the proton motive force by @verenaresch.bsky.social. Always a pleasure making #SciArt with you!🧪🧶🧬🌾

In a new Science study, cryo–electron tomography captures the in-cell architecture of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, illuminating how the coordinated action of molecular machines drives life’s fundamental energy conversion. Learn more in this week's issue: scim.ag/3FA3Ygq

Things always get worse before they get better..something something pithy... I'm reposting this because the situation has become more urgent and exponentially more stressful. <3

This week, about a month before I'm moving my entire family to safety in a new state, I was let go from my job, very unexpectedly. So I have a renewed need for donations, and welcome any and all boosts and shares. I'll have follow up posts for my job hunt. gofund.me/9c102eab

To all #TeamTomo #CryoET and #Chlamydomonas aficionados: we have updated EMPIAR-11830 with a bug fix concerning some cryo-CARE denoised tomos as well as additional files and metadata! 🎉👩🏽‍💻 www.ebi.ac.uk/empiar/EMPIA... A little thread about what's new... 🧵 1/n

Excited to see this out!!

Training Generalized Segmentation Networks with Real and Synthetic Cryo-ET data. [new] Simulated cryo-ET data trains initial segmentation models. Real data & co-training improve network generality.

I typically stick to science/cryoem posts here, but this is very important to me as this is my brother and his family. I want to see them safe. <3

winston@winston.cc · 2y ago

There was a time in my life when I felt extremely bad asking for help, but that time is well past. The government is actively trying to kill my kid, and I would like a little support as I get us (including my ex-wife and her partner) to safety. Thanks! gofund.me/60443e5c

Finally out! Working with this team was a fantastic learning experience. Also I was excited to determine the in situ clathrin structure for this project! That’s my first EM-structure upload to EMDB. Can I tell my mom I am a structural biologist now? 😁 #cryoET

Thanks Alicia! I am also happy to have helped finalize this work. I hope computational biologists will find the repo useful. We need to share more annotations in accessible format, the algorithms are hungry 😄 #teamtomo, consider sharing your data via pull requests—let’s grow this together! 🤝

Alicia Michael@aliciakmichael.bsky.social · 2y ago

Excited to finally get to share the segmentations I've been doing for this project! Eventually I'll get all 1829 tomograms segmented as fully as I can. But.... long term project. For now I'm just excited to see it out in the wild!

Proudly present our new preprint on my first post here. We performed SPA on the ciliary tip and identify 7 proteins. Among them, we found the conserved protein SPEF1 at the microtubule seam. In vitro assays show that SPEF1 binds to the seam and stablizes microtubules. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
