During the polio epidemic in Brazil in 1955, our parents organised our own carnival party at home to avoid the big crowds in Porto Ferreira... Thank you for the social isolation dear parents! (The lesson learned lasted until today in the little-boy-on-the-floor's head)

This excellent movie was made 15 Years ago after the SARS epidemic!! (That was before the Cryo-EM "resolution revolution"). The movies Scientific advisor: Paul Tucker. youtube.com/watch?v=i_Nj-i…

Sorry to hear of the passing of Deryck Mills on Tuesday. He was a most gentle and well humored co-traveler in this world. This picture of him I took at the GRC in June 2006 after we watched the Brazil football match.

Watch this space! ... Or rather watch the lecture: Information and Glycosylation. (3 September 2020; 12:00 Brasilia time; 17:00 MET; 11:00 NY time EDT.) (youtube.com/ibccfufrj/live) Stereo movie of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Glycosilation:

During the pandemic all Cariocas (Rio de Janeiro) collectively study icosahedral viruses! 🤨

So here it comes! Finally... It was a long wait, but a few things will now change in Science! Thank you for your pacience to #WaitForThePaper! This will change: #SNR, and: #ShannonInformation, and: #InformationDensity, and: #Slander... See for youself: (arxiv.org/abs/2009.03223)

#WhyOWhy (18) does everybody believe that SNRs and SSNRs are synonymous to information? Sorry, to tell you: they are not! #cryoEM #TwoThirdsNyquist #ShannonInformation #InformationTheory #IEEE #NoMoreFSC0143 #LinearSystems #FSCwars #CryoCNPEM

Now there even is a FILM to go with the BOOK! Thank you for your pacience to #WaitForThePaper! This will change: #SNR, and: #ShannonInformation, #FSCwars and: #InformationDensity, #DQE, #Information, #Resolution, #cryoEM and and... See for youself: youtube.com/watch?v=1C3mgm

Andy Burnham is showing real leadership here. Honest, authentic. The people of Manchester and it’s surrounding areas deserve this, and they deserve so much more from the government at this time.

I, Lame-Duck Donald, hereby pardon you, Derailled Ducking, for all eternity and beyond. Amen!

Sad to hear of the passing of Elmar Zeitler (19-12-2020). This picture I took during one of our traditional FHI Weihnachtsgänse essen in a Wannsee restaurant in Berlin. I will miss our discussions about Zernike polynomials, or your time as Flakhelfer in WWII, or... RIP Elmar.

#WhyOWhy (#18) learn the basics? To find the pointgroup symmetry of a homo-oligomer, use the highest plausible symmetry level, only then show a lower symmetry level is better by unsupervised classification... (Avoid reference-bias!)

BREAKING NEWS: The 2021 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded jointly to David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian “for their discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch.”

Cryo-EM helps researchers see the inner workings of cells at near atomic resolution. But it can only reach its true potential with the right data processing methods. Marin van Heel was one of the first developers of some of these methods & continues #ImagingTheFuture today
