It’s a lonely job, leading a research group (professor, principal investigator, group leader – whatever you call it). You talk all day with everyone, but you’re mostly alone with the doubts and risks of the biggest decisions.
Does it have to be though??

Here's another deep field image from JWST.
There's something pretty amazing hidden within it, which I'll talk about next.
But open up this image and lose yourself in this almost impossibly vast view of our Universe.
The six-pointed features are stars in the Milky Way. Everything else is a galaxy.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics
Let us all have the courage displayed by the residents of Minneapolis.

LLOMe has long been used to study lysosomal damage, yet how it works has remained a mystery.
Using cryo-electron tomography, we show it forms amyloid structures inside lysosomes that mechanically rupture membranes – revealing a new paradigm for lysosomal failure.

We wanted to build the ASU of an adenovirus using ModelAngelo, but accidentally used the full capsid map. It is ~95 nm in diameter and ~80 MDa. ModelAngelo built it! Biggest PDF file ever? :)

Bumping this into the Bluesky science feed, because I always forget to add the 🧪. However, I know there are plenty of Women in STEM there who might want to share their questions!
This is one for all the #WomeninSTEM. If you are happy to, could you share some of the more awkward and unusual questions you have been asked? The ones your male colleagues would never be asked.
I'm running an event @helmholtz.de with the awesome Michelle Browne for #IDWAGIS
