Our lab is excited to hire a postdoctoral researcher to study the mechanisms that viruses use to ‘hijack’ TAM receptors in viral spread. We are looking for someone who is excited to learn new techniques and work in a highly collaborative team! Please share!

Five weeks into what has been a constant onslaught on science, working on a paper seems like such a privilege, which many of our recently fired colleagues no longer have.
And a rebellious act.
But mostly it's self-care.
(Give yourself permission to turn off the news for the weekend.)

A new statistical metric for robust target detection in cryo-EM using 2D template matching
A novel statistical metric for 2D template matching (2DTM), the 2DTM p-value, has been developed to improve the detection of targets in cryo-EM images under various imaging and sample conditions, particularly for smaller and aspherical targets.
