Inspiring days in Sutton Bonington with Hydrosensing team. Great discussions, slightly too much fancy food, and a Saturday run that turned into an obstacle course, dodging cars that all drive on the wrong side of the road. Great collaborators becoming even better friends. @hydrosensing.bsky.social

Peering at life's blueprints! We use X-ray crystallography & cryo-EM to reveal 3D structures of proteins & other big molecules, understanding how they work. #StructuralBiology #Proteins #CryoEM #XrayCrystallography
Great to host my dear friend Uli Zachariae in Regensburg today. It’s always inspiring how much common ground exists between computational electrophysiology and cryo-EM: different methods, same questions about how proteins move, function, and shape life. #StructuralBiology #CryoEM #IonChannels
@hydrosensing.bsky.social Integrative sensory profiling and comparative phenotypic scoring revealed substantial functional divergence within the sampled cake population. In a pre-peer-review phase, the findings provide support for a robust structure–function relationship in Regensburg pastry biology
Nanocosmos: Faster Than Your Quickest Thought! "Physik goes Downtown Night 2025" featured science presented by speakers from RUN that was truly mind-blowing. They delivered fantastic talks about the movement of atoms at speeds that completely redefine "quick"! www.uni-regensburg.de/physik/schul...
The @ziegler-lab-ur.bsky.social delegation survived the Munich Half Marathon! This Trial of Spirit demanded the Force be strong with us. And the Force was extraordinarily strong with @katjaurbansky.bsky.social Her exceptional pace has earned her a promotion to the Council of cryoKnights - so cool!
During this visit, Christine Ziegler @ziegler-lab-ur.bsky.social joined Malcolm Bennett in their lab at the University of Nottingham, while Eilon Shani @eilonshani.bsky.social also happened to be visiting the same research center — a perfect coincidence for a productive and friendly reunion! 2/4
MC 2025: We came, we saw, we won🏆 🏆! Amazing team on a fantastic time at the Microscopy Conference in Karlsruhe. Get this: two of our posters won Poster Prizes! We're pretty sure it was our perfect blend of science and questionable doodles in the margins. @ziegler-lab-ur.bsky.social

Congratulations to Prof. @eilonshani.bsky.social Eilon Shani, #Hydrosensing PI, on being elected to EMBO 2025! 🎉 This honor recognizes his outstanding contributions to plant molecular genetics and scientific excellence @embo.org www.embo.org/press-releas...
Congrats to the RUN-Hydrosensing team! Proving that even on a biologically relevant timescale, you can still snag second place! Silver is golden! @hydrosensing.bsky.social
Ultrafast Almost Gold! The Regensburg Center for Ultrafast Nanoscopy bio-section took second in the relay! Physics' reaction rates are attoseconds, but ours, Slower. Probably why "The Quantum Leapers" edged us out. Great fun and pretzels! @ziegler-lab-ur.bsky.social @katjaurbansky.bsky.social
