#scientists, take a second to fully appreciate the @pdbeurope.bsky.social and @rcsbpdb.bsky.social and imagine live without them.

...the molecules of life, how they feel in the cell, up to #single-molecule exp. & apps...

Questions were also exciting😅 from: "how can you truly get single molecules?" to: "what metaphysical thoughts do you have?" All genuine questions.

#sciComm – so rewarding – didnt expect that! 🤝 Thank you!

...people hugely differing in age, backgrounds, education... A real challenge for me, but how eager they were to learn & how #grateful! Heartwarming to hear the metaphors (🍝,🍯,🐎,📻 for #FRET, 🐘&🐜 for #nanopores,...) helped them to understand, and even inspired them to think further.

Travelling back from #Paris 🚄, where #EllynRedheuil defended her PhD at @espciparispsl.bsky.social. Inspired by our #DyeCycling approach, Ellyn did impressive pioneer's work on single-biomarker detection using @quantum-si.bsky.social's protein sequencing platform!

Love these gradients

Wow! I love it!
