Mitch honoured by ASBMB
Mitch O'Connell, who handed in his PhD in 2013 and then headed off to Berkeley to work with Jennifer Doudna, has won the Boomerang Award from ASBMB, which is presented to a young expat Aussie to allow them to come back to attend ComBio and to give a talk in one of the symposium sessions. Mitch has also lined himself up to give a few seminars while he's back, so keep an eye out for him. Congrats Mitch!
Wilfred is off to the Big Apple
Wilfred Leung, who did Hons with Joel in 2007 and has since then sampled both Vet School and medical research, has won a PhD place at Cornell in New York (not quite the Big Apple, but a stone's throw from it), starting this August. Hard to get these places, so it was a great effort - looking forward to hearing how he goes over there!
Wanted: postdoc biochemist/structural biologist to work with Richard Payne, Sydney/US startup INSAMO (and me). Goal: use cyclic peptide mRNA display to design cell-permeable peptide-based protein degraders: https://usyd.wd105.myworkdayjobs.com/USYD_EXTERNAL_CAREER_SITE/job/Darlington-Campus/Postdoctoral-Researcher-in--Peptide-Based-Drug-Discovery_0131612-1

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?
This is supercool, but it does like folding everything, even things that are probably disordered... As always, use with caution, and consult your friendly structural biologist before investing too much in low confidence predictions.
