Thanks to the #MVLSPartnerships team for inviting us to their Life Science Partnerships Day yesterday. We had great time talking about cryo-EM to students, staff, funders and potential partners, as well as hearing previous partnership successes across the University
An excellent day at the @ELRIG_SCIENCE Drug Discovery in Scotland meeting, hosted just up the road from us @CRUK_SI. It was really interesting to see the breadth of activity in Scotland and we hope to see some you utilising cryo-EM in the future!

Nice time contributing to the WTS-MRC #cryoEM ❄️🔬,training course held at @UniversityLeeds, @AstburyCentre with facilities from @SCMICryoEM, @eBIC_Diamond, @uniofleicester. Representing @ismb_london 🦉. 4x #Krios' in action 🇬🇧🌍 w/ users from across the map🗺️.
Come and join us at the MVLS Partnership Day on 1st Oct. We'd love to chat about all things cryo-EM, structural biology, lipid nanoparticle imaging and more.
📷 New team photo just dropped! It's taken a few months to onboard everyone and now they're here and raring to go. From L-to-R, we have Giusy, @DebakshiM, @jstreetley, Kako and Gonzalo. gla.ac.uk/research/az/cvr/fa… There's never been a better time to come and do cryo-EM in Glasgow!

We're excited to share that the Neil Bulleid Integrated Protein Analysis unit (gla.ac.uk/colleges/mvls/shar…), in conjunction with @SCMICryoEM and @BritBiophysSoc is hosting @stemuench to give a talk on #CryoEM for #BiophysicsWeek
This perspective on Calicivirus flexibility from @cb99_lewis features 2 structures obtained from our instruments, conducted by Charlotte, Dave, and a whole host of Bhella lab alumni.
With norovirus outbreaks making the news once again, what better time to get acquainted with the Calicivirus family and their impressively dynamic capsids? Check out our Perspective below, just published in @VirusesMDPI:

Another nice piece of cryo-EM work from @CapperMichael, showing a high-resolution encapsulin shell, together with its pore and nitroreductase cargo. I think this also marks the first publication with our @DirectElectron Apollo detector.
We joined this fun project when Claudia & I met interviewing for the same job. Cryo-EM by @CapperMichael

How good was it to see all of these smiling faces in the @UofGARC on Monday to hear about cryo-EM in Scotland! Thanks to everyone who came, spoke, brought a poster, sponsored and contributed to the 2nd Scottish Cryo-EM Symposium. (Group photo by @Mark_A_Nakasone)
Of course, a special thanks goes to the sponsors. Their contributions allowed us to keep the meeting free to attend.
Finally, thanks to this year's organisers: YJ Chang, Éilís McClay, @MartinRennie11 and @jstreetley. We look forward to handing the baton over to @EdinburghUni (@mdrwilson lab 😉) to host us all next year.
Registration is now open for the 2nd Scottish Cryo-EM Symposium. After the inaugural meeting @dundeeuni, this year it is at the @UofGARC @UofGlasgow on 11th Nov. Registration is once again free, supported by our sponsors. The registration link is: eventbrite.com/e/the-scottis…
As the symposium gets close now, we are pleased to welcome @DirectElectron as sponsor, with @bobmonteverde1 joining us at the event. Direct Electron develop and manufacture high performance cameras for cryo-EM.
We will also be joined on Monday by @thermosciEMSpec @thermofisher, who'll have a stall focussing on their electron microscopy instrumentation.
That new office feeling 😍 We've moved into our new office to give us room to welcome our two new colleagues starting next month.
A little Monday push for this in case you missed it last week: 3 weeks to go until the 2nd Scottish Cryo-EM Symposium. Our speaker line up has been announced and free registration closes on 1st Nov. gla.ac.uk/research/az/cvr/fa…

New (to us!) equipment! We're pleased to provide a new home for this Edwards 306 carbon coater. They don't make 'em like they used to 😉 so after a service, we hope to get this up and running for our users.
