Photo update

I just found a few photos that Katschi had taken at the McMaster's Beach lab retreat early in the year - so have stuck them up for posterity...

ARC grant success for Jacqui and Liza

Hooray - Jacqui and Liza secured a three-year ARC Discovery Grant with the title: "Inhibiting protein-protein interactions involved in neural development and disease", which will keep several PhD students in the style to which they have become accustomed (not quite the Gucci pipettemen, but still...). Congratulations to the both of them!

Now, *this* is a crystal!

During the lab cleanup day today, Paul found this crystal in the bottom of his 5 M NaCl bottle, which had been sitting quietly on his shelf for about a year or so. WOW! That is a falcon tube lid, for reference... Nearly 100 years since the structure of NaCl was determined by X-ray crystallography (the first ever X-ray structure) - I wonder if they had a crystal THIS good! Of course, maybe it doesn't diffract... Keep trying Eija!

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!
