- New interview alert! We had a chat with Mike Cianfrocco, Scott Stagg and Jan-Hannes Schäfer about their CryoSift tool – details in the thread. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROlc...
- One of the coolest things going on here is that the GitHub repos contain Jupyter notebooks for you to try their software. In case you don't have Jupyter installed or don't know what it is: you can always upload the notebooks to Google Colab and run everything on their cloud services :)
- Great to see this article by @guptapenn.bsky.social is out! Kushol helped us interview @xtalmaker.bsky.social Vivian Stojanoff and @gabbygrowsxtals.bsky.social who published an article on careful sample preparation in crystallisation experiments, also part of #SAMPREP www.youtube.com/watch?v=m34R...
- I'm incredibly proud to present this @actacrystf.iucr.org interview with Alex Mendez and Cydni Bolling on their first paper ever! The interview was co-led by Dr Graham Chakafana from Hampton University in the USA, who supervised the authors' undergraduate research. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rjI...

- Just realised that we've been doing Interviews With Authors on YouTube for a whole year! I'd really appreciate receiving comments about these, e.g. suggest a structural biologist you would like us to interview Here's a playlist with all the videos we've done so far: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
- As the community gets ready for #ACA2025, we're proud to present this interview with @gabbygrowsxtals.bsky.social Vivian Stojanoff and @xtalmaker.bsky.social on how to prepare for successful protein crystallisation experiments! 🥳🥳 youtu.be/m34RI500OFU?...
- The authors wrote a wonderful review for a dedicated @actacrystf.iucr.org issue that includes contributions from #ACA2023 SAMPREP workshop attendees journals.iucr.org/f/issues/202... – edited by @guptapenn.bsky.social , who also joined us for the interview and asked some great questions.
- Reposted by Jon AgirreExcited that our article made the cover of the July issue of @actacrystf.iucr.org! Congrats to my coauthors @gabbygrowsxtals.bsky.social & Vivian Stojanoff! Grateful for #NIH NIGMS R24 National Resource grant that enables workshops like the 2023 SAMPREP workshop @ @acastructuralsci.bsky.social
- The July issue is out! tinyurl.com/y25fxe86 The cover shows a rainbow of protein crystals taken from a Topical Review on 'Preparing for successful protein crystallization experiments'. Take a look at doi.org/10.1107/S205...
