Last week high school students joined us for a scientific workshop in our lab in the Centre of New Technologies at the Uniwersytet Warszawski to learn about protein folding and entanglements. It surely was fun!

1-day EMBO YIP Workshop on Evolutionary and Computational Biology [BC]2/@BaselLSW on 9 Sep in Basel, w/Claudia Bank Manuel Irimia Santiago F. Elena Anna Karnkowska Tomas Marques-Bonet Joanna Sulkowska @darissambaya et al. Limited to 40 participants—apply now! basellife.org/2019/basel-lif…

What are the odds the tail threads the lasso loop? Even for the infinitely long tail, it is not 1. Check it up: doi.org/10.3390/polym1… Polymers 2019, 11(4), 707 mdpi.com/2073-4360/11/4…

Ever wondered what are the properties of lasso polymers? Should we catch you (or your attention) with a lasso take a look at this trailer! 🏜⛓🧬youtube.com/watch?v=Vb8Vut…

The trefoil knot, the most popular type of knotted topology occurring among proteins and our home - the Centre of New Technologies Uniwersytet Warszawski in the background :)

The application deadline for the EMBO YIP Workshop on #Evolutionary and #ComputationalBiology at #BC2basel is approaching! Send your motivation letter before 22 May 2019 if you want to participate: goo.gl/TaSFPX. SIB @BaselLSW #BASELLIFE19

There are four known knot types occurring in proteins, but the trefoil knot is the most popular one. On the left - our 3D printed model of YbiK - a deeply knotted tRNA methyltransferase. The knot core is in green and the Centre of New Technologies Uniwersytet Warszawski in the back.

Having a scientific life doesn't have to mean loosing other interests. Ola, our bioinformatics genius is also a Olympics skeet player! Congrats and keep breaking new records in sport and science! sport.onet.pl/strzelectwo/ig…

Our results were presented today by prof. Sulkowska at EBSA IUPAP Biophysics Congress! Be sure not to miss it next time ⌚ #MADBiophys2019

We're hiring! 2 postdoc positions for an exciting project are opened now. It involves applying experimental data from NMR and optical traps measurements to computational studies of proteins with non-trivial topology to unravel their unknown mysteries. jsulkowska.cent.uw.edu.pl/home/availble-…

Have you ever wondered if you can spot the knots in biopolymers without months of practise? Now it's possible! 🔍 Aleksandra Jarmolińska's designed Knot_pull, a command line utility which you can use to find and identify the knot. See for yourself ⬇️ academic.oup.com/bioinformatics…

Congratulations 👏👏👏 to Olga Tokarczuk, #NobelPrize laureate in Literature, who is a graduate of the University of Warsaw #UW (Faculty of Psychology).

Kicking-off #ITTMSSynBio EMBO IIT Madras

Did you know that #proteins can form knots (I didn't!). Excellent talk by Joanna Sulkowska on protein topology #IITMSynBio IIT Madras IBSE EMBO

The #iitmsynbio @embo meeting comes to an end with the passionate speeches of ArraianoLab, Joanna Sulkowska & Claudia Vickers leading the community discussion on professional roadmaps in SynBio for young scientists and overcoming cultural gender barriers 👏

An attentive crowd #IITMSynBio IBSE IIT Madras listening to ArraianoLab Joanna Sulkowska Claudia Vickers discussing #career #development and #gender balance in #science #WomenInSTEM w/the #Indian ocean as the backdrop

721 Back in Oz - Fantastic @embo #SynBio meeting IIT - old/new friends, great science. Look forward 2 watching and helping #Indian SynBio grow!
