Big career announcement!! A few weeks ago I was offered an interview and site visit for a tenure-track Professor of Microbiology position at a dream location. But - I declined! Here is why ... (TLDR: enthusiastically saying "No, thank you" to academia) #MicroSky 1/8

Who knows how to do pooled SD in GraphPad Prism? I.e. if you have a e.g. 3 biological replicates with each 3 technical replicates and want to display an overall mean SEM for the data?

So beautiful!
First post on bluesky. Inevitably Streptomyces coelicolor, literally blue as the sky @stcmicrobeblog.bsky.social

Looking forward to the day someone will be happy to announce that their colleague got promoted. #SciencePerspective

Looking forward to the day someone will be excited to see a paper out they are not coauthor on. #SciencePerspective

Exciting to listen to Danish Nobel laureate Morten Meldal from @uni_copenhagen at @DMSCongress!

On my way to @roskildeuni to present our latest work on phosphonate breakdown in E. coli. Looking forward to meeting staff and students! Thanks to René Jørgensen for the invitation!

Finally online at @eLife - this has taken longer than I would have liked, but good things come to those who wait, they say. And the paper is definitely better than what we first submitted, so thanks to constructive editors and reviewers!

📢 1.55 is now available. It includes:

• Bugfixes, and
• Performance improvements

That's it, that's the update.

The performance improvements should reduce startup time a bit. We think we can shave a few more seconds off in future updates as well.

Thank you! So happy for this much sought after accolade! 😎
Very good!

Exciting!
New preprint on EMMIVox, an approach and software for accurate model and ensemble refinement using cryoEM maps and Bayesian inference 🧶 🧬 🧪 ❄️ 🔬

Work led by Samuel Hoff from Max Bonomi’s lab and with contributions also from Emil Thomasen

I completely agree. Proofs represent an important last check for mistakes that have been overlooked so far. 3-4 working days should be minimum.
I deeply dislike the short turnaround given for reviewing page proofs, as it puts an unnecessary sense of urgency on co-authors (who are not the corresponding author and therefore don't have the power to say chillllll).

Don’t underestimate the power of encouragement in career progression. Asking PhD students why they decided to enter grad school, many say “my supervisor suggested it to me”. And more importantly, this applies to all levels of the ladder, so if you see someone who is ready for the next step, say it!

Focus in publishing and success criteria should really gradually change during an academic career:

PhD - What can I publish? (own CV)
Post doc - What can we publish? (focus on teamwork)
Junior PI - What can you publish? (lab members)
Senior PI - What can they publish (former lab members)

Exciting to be able to model structures of not only proteins, but also complexes with nucleic acids and small molecules!

Celebrated the lab 20th anniversary today at Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies with excellent discussion about where to go in the future, team building, and Esben Lorentzen as invited speaker on complex structure prediction and synthetic protein structures.😎🍾🤗

Today is exactly 20 years ago I started my position as independent PI at @AarhusUni_int
and since then, more than 60 students, postdocs, and visitors have worked with us. On Thursday, we celebrate the lab 20th anniversary with a day of science and team building at @AIAS_dk!

Hello !
I am a molecular microbiologist using structural biology to learn more about transport systems in mycobacteria. I have just joined Newcastle University to start my own group as NUAcT Fellow.
