Great to attend a seminar by Prof. Steven G. Louie about excitons in 2D-materials today here at @uu.se

It seems like forever since we last saw the sun here in Uppsala. So dark and grey and cloudy and rainy. But: today! ☀️😊

Glee, from Bran Van 3000! 🇨🇦🤩- Safe flight! 💺

Just learned from Cees Dekker's post that he is being honored with the 2026 Biochemical Society Award for Significant Breakthrough or Achievement! Very happy for him and BIG CONGRATULATIONS! :-) He continually inspires the nanopore community with the amazing achievements from his team at Delft.

This is really fantastic and, of course, so much deserved! :-) Very happy for you Cees, and let me just say: Hartelijk Gefeliciteerd!

A PhD position is open for this year. A candidate should have a background in programming skills.

お誕生日おめでとう🥳

Ah, okay! I did not catch the “when”. :-) So, November 2026 will be the time for #SMPS5!

#SMPS4 What a wonderful conference it has been! Thanks @chancao.bsky.social for organising! And looking forward already to SMPS5 in Thailand! 🇹🇭

Nice to also hear about #nanopores in 2D materials in the last talk for today by Wei-Lun Hsu here at #SMPS4

Forgot the conference tag: #SMPS4

Even as a vegetarian, I enjoyed the refreshing talk of Marija Drndić! ;-) Featuring “Calvin, the #nanopore”. :-) Music with one video certainly helped to energize the audience!

Inspiring talk by Amit Meller here at #SMPS4 in which he also extolled the virtues of solid-state #nanopores (such as higher capture rates). :-)

Excited to join Bluesky today! As an ion channel biophysicist, Professor at Duke Neurobiology, and Director of Graduate Studies I will be sharing my insights. Plus the occasional post of my private life. Please help me connect to my community by sharing this post.

The group photo of #SMPS4 (taken just before lunch) is already online for everyone to see! :-)

@ceesdekker.bsky.social presenting a flurry of results here at #SMPS4. Amazing how many cutting edge projects are conducted in his lab! Take-away: #nanopores are super sensitive sensors, but sometimes you need a helping hand from modelling and simulations. :-)

Just in time for #SMPS4! I will present some results from this paper during my talk on Thursday.

Detection and distinction of amino acids and post-translational modifications with gold nanojunctions Amino acids are fundamental building blocks of proteins, playing critical roles in medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and biomarker identification. The development of nanoscale electronic ...

Great to hear the latest about the NEOtrap from @scisonja.bsky.social highlighting the work from Chenyu Wen (now at UU) and @ceesdekker.bsky.social who also happened to be chairing the session here at #SMPS4

The single molecule protein sequencing conference SMPS2025 has been opened by organizers @chancao.bsky.social and Denis Garoli!

Conference place

So glad to be here at #SMPS4 meeting many old friends and colleagues, and learning about the latest in #nanopore sequencing of proteins! Looking forward to a great week together here in Bolzano! :-) www.smps2025.com

Did you know that there will be a #nanopore meeting in Tokyo from March 14-15, 2025? Well, you do now! ;-) web.tuat.ac.jp/~rjkawano/NP...

Excitedly anticipating what you all will discover along the way! Wish you much success with this ambitious endeavor!
