Plenary session on Synthetic/Novel Approaches in Virology (hat tip to #SynthImmune @uniheidelberg.bsky.social for great speaker suggestions!).

Starting off: Mark Bathe on DNA origami for better targeting vaccine strategies.

Cryo-EM image processing of amyloid filaments in RELION-5.1 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.03.17.712386v1 #cryoEM

Let's not forget that the convicted rapist Donald Trump is in the Epstein Files.

Am I the only one increasingly annoyed by cryo-EM papers not showing *any* experimental density in figures? Sometimes not even in the supplementary material??

Excited to share this detailed biophysical study of #PhaseSeparation in the Pyrenoid, an algal microcompartment that fixes a third of the Earth's #CO2 🌏. We combine methods across scales, in vitro 🧪 and in vivo 🦠

Thanks for the very fun collaboration! 🤗

Finally, just about 2 years after finishing the postdoc the last part of my work is finally online! We determined the structure of HSV-1 Origin Binding Protein, the viral initiator of DNA replication, by cryo-EM 🧪🧬🧶🧵 #cryoEM #structuralbiology

Definitely an amazing work to start the week reading! Congratulations, Fabio!!

‪We had a fantastic time hosting the first Functional Amyloid Meeting @ DESY! #FFFatDESY2025 #FunctionalFibrilFriends
