Sarah is now officially Dr Sarah.

The final hurdle has been leapt! Sarah graduated with no mishaps (other than getting her shoe heel caught in a grating and nearly having to go up on stage in bare feet...) and can return to her postdoctoral position at the Crick Institute in London wearing her PhD gown and hood...

Ana’s lab baby update…

Congratulations to Ana and Callum. Ana obviously felt left out of the baby congratulations wave and so decided to have her baby a week early! Emma Silva Smits was born yesterday morning at 10.18 am and was 48 cm tall, weighing 3.06 kg (although no confidence intervals were reported for those measurements so I'm not sure about the precision). Both Emma and Ana are doing well (and are processing single particle EM data).

Welcome to new lab members – Mehdi, Jason (aka. Alex) and Taylor

We have three people joining Joel's lab in one week this week. First up, we have Mehdi Sharifitabar who hails from Iran and is starting his PhD. Taylor Szyszka (whose surname would surely win you a game of Scrabble if you could only spell it) is also a new PhD student - fresh from her degree at U Arizona. Finally Dr Jason Schmidberger wings his way to us from postdoctoral stints in Europe and will be our new resident crystallographer. In good lab tradition, we will immediately retrain him in something else, but he'll still be around to help you with your crystallography stuff. Please introduce yourself to them if you see them around.

Have been off X for months but had to log in to see response to AF3. I am much less smart than the authors - but am I (and Erin) the only ones to think that the helical afros that it makes out of IDRs is totally weird? Am I missing something?

Amazing story from the lab down the corridor - @RezwanSidd working with Sandro Ataide and Ruth Hall in @SydneySOLES at @Sydney_Science - now they will be thrown into the gladiators' pit I suspect with the other protagonists that prowl this landscape! 🙂 Great piece of work!
