It's almost four weeks since the horrific terrorist attack on #Israel. A lot has happened, the public debate has become heated and confused. Find thoughts from Vice-Chancellor Robert #Habeck in the video, putting the events in context. 📣With English, Hebrew and Arabic subtitles.

TomoTwin 0.7 is out and ready to use for #TeamTomo :-) This release adds new tools for advanced strategies that describe how to speed up the calculation of embeddings, potentially improve their umaps, and how to refine references/targets! 🧵 All changes: github.com/MPI-Dortmund/t…

Big thanks to (twitterless) Vicky Trinkaus, Stefan Raunser and all our speakers for a stunning 2-day cryoEM/ET winter school MPI Dortmund - well timed to the first snowfall in Dortmund!

Great example (thx Pranav NM Shah for the tomogram) to experience how TomoTwin organizes the embedding space. The virus center is located in a completely different region than the "envelope" :-) Optimized clustering workflow will be released soon tomotwin-cryoet.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

Very excited to share our preprint on the multi-state kinetics of the syringe-like injection mechanism of Tc toxins. Great collaboration between the Raunser Stefan Raunser MPI Dortmund, Seidel Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf, BordignonLab Faculty of Science | UNIGE and Dong Harvard Medical School labs. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/3

Read how a few soldier cells armed to the teeth confer virulence to an entire bacterial #Yersinia population by sacrificing themselves - find the corresponding paper in @naturemicrobiol Stefan Raunser Oleg Sitsel Zhexin (Eric) Wang Thorsten Wagner Max Planck Society mpi-dortmund.mpg.de/news/soldier-c…

Our paper revealing how specialized #Yersinia cells 🦠release a deadly Tc toxin-containing cocktail ☣️ by blowing themselves up 🧨🤯 is finally out! Read it in @naturemicrobiol: nature.com/articles/s4156… #toxin #pathogen #tomography #explosion #T10SS

It is my great pleasure to announce that I am joining OIST as faculty! My lab will focus on characterizing our oceans’ amazing inhabitants mainly by cryo-electron #tomography, with #corals representing our chief interest. Collaborators always welcome – please reach out to me!

My lab has exciting openings for postdocs/staff scientists and a technician. Involves super-cool projects, a dynamic international environment, cutting-edge infrastructure, and a stunningly beautiful tropical island! oist.jp/careers/two-po… oist.jp/careers/resear… Please repost!

Are you ready to meet the #toxin with the most AWESOME name? Say hello🤗 to The Makes Caterpillars Floppy 1 toxin! It took us nearly a decade of work🔬 to find out what it looks like, but it was really worth it. Look at this 330 kDa giant beauty full of secrets! Thread 1/8.

So proud that our Tc toxin release story with Stefan Raunser was featured on the cover of today's Nature Microbiology issue! 🎉 Check out this 💥explosive 💥tale here: nature.com/articles/s4156…

Curious about the molecular mechanism of #actin elongation by #formins? Then check out our latest work in Science Magazine! This was possible due to outstanding team effort. Big thanks to co-first author Wout Oosterheert, Bieling lab and @intein MPI Dortmund science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We are proud of Oleg Sitsel former Stefan Raunser lab postdoc who is now Assistant Professor and head of the Marine Structural Biology Unit OIST . We wish him much success and all the best on beautiful #okinawa #cryoEM

Really happy to share that the last chapter of my submitted phd thesis is already on biorxiv!🥳 Using a tophat transform, I made template matching more precise, allowing automated annotation with little false positives! #teamtomo biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

One more piece of evidence to add to the pile. This was an extremely heretic viewpoint in early 2023, and now it is increasingly becoming self-evident conventional wisdom.

Sebastian Tacke has been honored with the Paper of the Year Award by the Journal of Structural Biology Elsevier for his innovative technical developments in the field of #cryoET #cryoEM Congratulations! #teamtomo
