Wonderful #PintOfScience evening with @maddie-gilbert.bsky.social and @richardallenart.bsky.social making sense of memory loss! The memory test results may already have slipped our minds…😅
Huge thanks to our own @c-hawksworth.bsky.social for helping organise such a great event!🍺

Exciting to see our time-resolved #cryoEM device developed by @stemuench.bsky.social & colleagues in action at the CCPEM Spring Symposium!
Brilliant talk by @scarfflab.bsky.social showing how it helped to visualize the elusive actomyosin primed complex & demonstrate the swinging lever mechanism.

Hello Bluesky! Excited to make our debut with our first lift-outs on the new Hydra Bio PFIB. A chunk of brain tissue has been mounted with the needle onto the finger of a half-moon grid and is now ready for milling to create a thin lamella for further analysis. Stay tuned for more updates! #FIBSEM
