Perhaps we could have a national discussion about personal wealth: how much money does the hardest working, smartest, most dedicated individual deserve: £10M, £100M, £1B? 🤔

This is disappointing from @theguardian.com. The study is about how social-media influences local govt decisions. Its conclusion is hopeful: social media does not seem to affect decisions too much. But the tone of discussion on social media it reports is worrying! www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ma...

The amazing Sofia Lövestam initiated the below project, when she became interested in the vault particles that we sometimes observe in #cryoEM images of brain-derived #amyloid filaments. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Labour continues the stupid culture war politics of the previous govt. 😡 Cyclists killing pedestrians is super rare. There are so many more useful things the govt could spend their time on legislating, e.g making streets safer for cyclists. www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ap...

Am having a whale of a time at the @ccpem.bsky.social Spring Symposium today! I have hung out with other crowds too recently, but it's good to be reminded how much fun Structural Biology conferences are. Atomic structure has a beautiful definitiveness to it: it is what it is. 🤗

Cool structures, Emil! 🥳

At the #Synuclein2025 in Cambridge this week. There is a large unmet need for help with #cryoEM structure determination of amyloids.

Great stuff by @jgreener64.bsky.social and @kjamali.bsky.social: search protein structures in 0.1 seconds using their open software!

I found the below in the stand of @stressmarq.bsky.social at #ADPD2025. When I asked how these "tau oligomers" were made, I was told this was a company secret! 😱😱😱 How can you ever publish results obtained with such materials? How could you or anyone else replicate them if the company went bust?

In Vienna for a few days for #ADPD2025. Looking forward to great scientific discussions. 😍

Finished this book today. With everything going on in the US right now, many more people should read it, especially our politicians.

Having read its rather sensationalist marketing, I started reading "Doctored" by @charlespiller.bsky.social with the intention of hating it. However, I ended up appreciating this book as a much-needed reminder of the importance of doing solid science. I will encourage my trainees to read it.

Have been reading about the history of toxic oligomers of #alphasynuclein and #Abeta the past few days. As far as I can tell, this whole story originated from observations for in vitro assembly of recombinant protein, which has now been shown to yield disease-irrelevant filaments.

Chao has shown that disease-causing tau mutations V337M and R406W both lead to the formation of filaments with the #Alzheimer fold in human brain. Could one use these mutations to speed up models for tau filament formation in AD?

Cool stuff from our collaboration with @mxhend.bsky.social: the fold of tau filaments matters for seeding in primary cultures & in live mice: the AD fold is more seeding efficient than non-AD folds! But that's not all: phosphorylation of the fuzzy coat matters too. 🤩 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

If you do an experiment for someone else's paper and you become a co-author, this means that you agree with everything in that paper! It takes time and effort to reach consensus, but this ensures better science. That's why I cannot understand how some people publish so many papers each year.
