Just realised that we've been doing Interviews With Authors on YouTube for a whole year!
I'd really appreciate receiving comments about these, e.g. suggest a structural biologist you would like us to interview

When I arrived to NYC as a postdoc, NYSBDG was my first local meeting, and I was blown way by the world-class quality of the science.
It's a great opportunity to meet the local #structbio & #cryoem community, and it's coming up in two weeks, so register now at the eventbrite link below!
