Reminder! The deadline to nominate an ACAxtal fellow or award winner is May 1st! For information and to submit a nomination, visit: amercrystalassn.org

Looking forward to hearing about APS's upgrades once it's complete!

Opportunity to work with Amy Seargeant at Bristol Myers Squibb as a small molecule crystallographer careers.bms.com/jobs/R1568056

Excited to announce I'm no longer a postdoc! Today officially kicks off my first day as a Staff Scientist Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Awesome to look back at my journey in #StructuralBiology starting at Univ. of Oklahoma in #XrayCrystallography to where I'm at now in #CryoEM and expanding into #MassSpec

Go cast your vote! This has been a fun competition to participate in.

OU-NORMAN Critical 10:53pm: OUPD has issued an ALL CLEAR. After a thorough search, no threat was found. There is no threat to campus. Alert has been canceled.

OU-NORMAN Emergency 10:04pm OUPD continues to investigate possible shots fired on Norman campus. Avoid South Oval area. Continue sheltering in place.

OU-Norman Emergency: There is an active shooter at the Van Vleet Oval. Take immediate action now. Run. Hide. Fight!

I often see Phenix used as the software of choice for data processing, but if you're like me and were originally trained using CCP4, this would be exciting to see it developed further! And into the electron diffraction space!

When it comes to work, I’m finding that “catching up” is a verb, but “being caught up” is a mythical place that I never get to visit.

I always describe being a structural biologist as getting to solve puzzles, but this is the first time I've actually seen a sample resemble a puzzle piece 🧩

Another exciting win for MicroED! Congrats to all those involved in this work!

Suspended drop crystallization. No support film eliminates preferential orientation on grids and no handling of sample prior to #MicroED

Abstract submission has been extended for #acamtg2023 !

On-grid purification of protein complexes using affinity grids and a 3D printed flow cell. Cool stuff by our London neighbours under Chris Aylett's leadership:

Now is a great time to submit an oral presentation abstract for the ACA meeting in Baltimore (July 7-11th). Charles Bou-Nader and I are chairing the 'One Weird Trick' session, which will spotlight new and interesting methods in structural biology!

Submit an abstract for the #metalloprotein session ACAxtal I’m co-chairing on July 8th in Baltimore! Abstracts are due March 24th. Please RT!

acameeting.com

The Energy Materials session (3.2.2) at #acamtg2023 in July is looking for more oral presentation abstracts! Open to structural studies in batteries, catalysis, photovoltaics, thermoelectrics, piezoelectrics, gas separations, MOFs and more!
Grad students and postdocs encouraged!

Get those abstracts submitted!! We've been working hard and have a very exciting program planned for this year's #acamtg2023 in Baltimore 7/7-7/11! Hope to see you all there!
