Coming home from the excellent #LabsOfTheFuture conference in #Amsterdam. Had great fun presenting this year, and the content of the other talks was excellent. Heading back to the @rosfrankinst.bsky.social very much inspired.

Very much enjoyed a brief camping holiday to #Llangollen, we did a lot of excellent touristy things, and I very much enjoyed finding an old favourite from my last visit to #Wales for the Eisteddfod.

Exciting work from the Franklin, @ox.ac.uk, and @diamondlightsource.bsky.social has led to a new method for imaging small proteins (<50 kDa) using cryoEM. By using bifunctional, bispecific nanobody scaffolds, the team have successfully solved the smallest protein structure to date (14 kDa).
