A great team to work with!

[Robin Bon @RSBon_Lab]

Interested in #ionchannel research, #cryoEM, #MassSpectrometry, #microscopy or #pharmacology? Check out these 3 #PhD projects. As part of the the @UoL_LICAMM @TheBHF 4-year PhD programme: 1)
https://t.co/d5SAmJDXcH with @PiruthiviS and @stemuench @Astbury_BSL @AstburyCentre 1/5

[Kalli Group 🧫➡️💻➡️📊 @KalliGroup]

Any budding #IonChannel biologists interested in this #PhDposition studying channel function?

This is a brilliant interdisciplinary team to be part of - working with #CryoEM #Electrophysiology and #MDSimulations

[David Wright @scidave]

I really recommend the team and the project is really well set up for the next postdoc

[Robin Bon @RSBon_Lab]

If you would like to contribute to the next stage of this research, we have a short-term postdoc position available with potential further extensions subject to funding. See https://t.co/E9wd9JL9BS for details. Closing date 7th December.

@RSBon_Lab @CommsBio @chmkjs @RachelJ9908 @profdbeech @stemuench @UoL_LICAMM @AstburyCentre @Astbury_BSL A great way to finish off my time at @UniversityLeeds @UoL_LICAMM. It's been a great project and I'm looking forward to seeing how the work continues! @RSBon_Lab

[David Wright @scidave]

@RSBon_Lab @mrcppu @SatpalVirdee @stemuench @UoL_LICAMM @AstburyCentre Thank you everyone in the Bon group (and former members). It's been a really productive project. I look forward to seeing how the project continues in the future!

[David Wright @scidave]

A really great opportunity with a fantastic team!

[Rebecca Thompson @Bex_16]

Phd opportunity alert ⬇️👍🎉

Want to come and work with @stemuench @MDarrow7 and myself, developing and using cool #cryoEM technologies to study membrane and membrane associated proteins? Read on...

Congrats, really nice work!

[Robin Bon @RSBon_Lab]

Very proud that our paper 'Xanthine-based photoaffinity probes allow assessment of ligand engagement by TRPC5 channels' has now been published in @rsc_chembio https://t.co/KisEJgQWly

We provide new tools to study the pharmacology of TRPC1/4/5 channels in cells.

PhD positions are available in my lab! Looking for candidates brave enough to study protein aggregation at the molecular level in C. elegans disease models :-)

During the #lockdown I made a stop motion animation movie on #PROTACs showing how they can target proteins for degradation! It's on the brand new version of the Crews lab website https://t.co/3zPO0U3Kly

@henn_wood And cryoEM has air-water interface problems...

1/ I am a third-year medical student. Yesterday, I was assigned a new patient. I hadn’t met them yet, but knew they had presented with liver-related symptoms. In preparation for morning rounds, I flipped through their chart and checked their lab work.

[AstburyECR @AstburyEcr]

Are you considering a career in startups and spinout companies? Join our event on 16th June 2-3.30pm. We have speaker Leeds/York from Grow MedTech, Neotherix and Keracol. A Q&A session with the Astbury Exec will follow regarding concerns over the current COVID19/work situation.

[Rado Danev @RadoDanev]

Congrats @PeterJPeters1 and colleagues! 🙂👍 Sample prep is the main hurdle in #cryoEM and it is great to see such new developments! 😃

Looking to racism in my own field, molecular biology, here are all the institutions that still support James Watson — one of the world's most powerful scientists & Nobel winner who thinks that black people have a lower intelligence than white people.

[David Wright @scidave]

@layallivs @AngelaDSaini Just saw that this was free on Kindle (at least in the UK)

[Broderick Hunter @BroderickHunter]

Why is ending racism a debate?

Do you love outer membranes? Then you can't miss our review on the properties of the OM and OMP folding! https://t.co/Pi4yyK56Kp

[Georgia Isom @GL_Isom]

Excited to share our latest #preprint! Cryo-EM structure of the MlaFEDB #ABCtransporter in #nanodiscs, revealing an #exporter fold and two bound #phospholipids within. Joint first with Nicolas Coudray and @_markmacrae, all from @BhabhaEkiertLab! #teamwork https://t.co/wvKNg9uGG0

Just found out that George Floyd was originally stopped by the police because he handed over a counterfeit note in a shop. I did that once! They handed me back the note as a souvenir, and later I told the story on stage in a comedy routine. That’s some privilege right there.
