Multi-scale phage nucleus structural study & the major shell protein chimallin now out in polished form! https://t.co/th6GMRQjYL

[Tom Laughlin @3rdFloorTom]

I stay up some nights wondering what the world would be like if we had an agreed upon, standard/uniform convention to describe rotations...

[Lindsey Young @lindsey__young]

hey #teamtomo if you are looking to add to your toolkit for molecular identification inside cells, our preprint is now out!

[Elizabeth Villa @TheVillaLab]

Super proud of this work and envision it will be useful to many #teamtomo

@lindsey__young led a great collaboration with Michael Rosen and Antonio Giraldez

@lindsey__young and I are giddy for #teamtomo seeing what's coming up soon in @biorxiv! #submissionbeer

[Eray Enustun, Ph.D. @EnustunEray]

My second “first author” paper is published by Nucleic Acids Research! We show how one of the proteins I found from the proteomics screen (Enustun et al., Nat Struct Mol Biol, 2023) is important for mRNA transfer from the phage nucleus and for their translation.

@NoamPrywes @ben_a_adler But by all of this logic, being a lazy idiot can be remedied by being unlucky.

[Tom Laughlin @3rdFloorTom]

@NoamPrywes @ben_a_adler Wait, I guess that fall under non-zero

It doesn't rain in jumbo phage biology, it pours!

Looking forward to a weekend of reading.

It cannot be done, they said.. It's too flexible, they said.. 😁

[Tom Laughlin @3rdFloorTom]

I think about Clackson and Wells 1995 at least once a week.

[Joe Bondy-Denomy @joeBondyDenomy]

The phiKZ jumbo phages build a protein based nucleus to protect their DNA(!), but what do they do before the nucleus is built? Led by outstanding post-doc @MozumdarDeepto, here we identify host and phage proteins in an immediate early phage lipid vesicle.

Officially doctor Valentín! 🎓 After 5 years of hard work, research, and countless cups of coffee, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve completed my PhD journey. Excited for what the future holds and grateful for all the support along the way. #PhDDone @BanfieldLab @SavageCatsOnly @igisci

@SamLewisPhD Do you mean displaying segmentation items or do you mean making a movie with the segmentation items?

[Tom Laughlin @3rdFloorTom]

@KovtunOleksiy @HiCryoEM Modulefiles for general programs or install specific toolkit in the conda environment for python programs works well in my experience.

cat is the most misused thing by programmers new to linux. I cringe every time someone uses it wrong in a bash script. Thread below with proper uses of cat only
