What do dynamic protein complexes look like *inside the cell*? Excited to share our work, led by superstar @ramyarangan, on cryoDRGN-ET, a new approach in the ❄️🐉 software for reconstructing and visualizing structures from in situ cryo-ET data. 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

🔥 Today, researchers unveiled the connectome of the male adult fruit fly nerve cord. 🧠 With about 23K neurons, 10 million pre-synaptic sites & 74 million post-synaptic densities, it’s the most in-depth & complete wiring diagram of a fly nerve cord. 🔗janelia.org/news/janelia-sci…

Preparing some videos for upcoming talks. I'll be in Aarhus and Cambridge in the next couple of weeks. Lots of talking about EM data inside of #blender3d using #MolecularNodes and #GeometryNodes to create clear visuals and beautiful animations. Feels cool to zoom around a cell

Glad to finally share our manuscript on “Serial Lift-Out” by the amazing twitterless Oda Schiøtz, Jürgen Plitzko, @CJOKaiser , and myself. Doing multiple sections from single lift outs showing beautiful C. elegans ultrastructure 🤯 I could watch it all day 🤩How did we get there?

A pleasure to have Julia speak to us today!
Great seminar from Julia Mahamid from @EMBLHeidelberg speaking at @RosFrankInst today. Julia has been and is a pioneer of cell based structure biology. Just amazing work.
