Afternoon starts with former #Salgadolab student @adamcrawshaw.bsky.social getting the audience engaged on #microcrystals and @diamondlightsource.bsky.social VMXm beamline.
I should also include that I’m here on behalf of MX and VMXm @diamondlightsource.bsky.social
Great to be back in NCL.
Here for the opening event of the Northern Eye structural biology facility and the @ccp4mx.bsky.social Northern Structural Biology meeting.
Looking forward to seeing some exciting structural biology from across the North.

Nice logo!
Registration for the #CCP4SW 2026 is now open! Being held as hybrid event with in-person at EMCC, Nottingham, UK between 7-9 January 2026. This year's topic is Ligands in Focus: Decoding Ligand Binding in Modern Structural Biology. Find out more at studyweekend.ccp4.ac.uk
VMXm has postcards! Available from the beamline or a member of the VMXm team if you see us at conferences. Do reach out to us for your microcrystal X-ray diffraction experiments.
The HeXI hutch being assembled on the experimental hall at Diamond.
Great to see HeXI starting to appear on the experimental hall at @diamondlightsource.bsky.social. HeXI will be a 1 MeV electron diffraction instrument that will complement complement the capabilities of VMXm.
The first @diamondlightsource.bsky.social MX Newsletter is here! Including the latest news from the MX beamlines, helpful info about shutdowns, runs and training opportunities as well as useful tips and tricks for making the most of the MX beamlines at Diamond. www.diamond.ac.uk/Instruments/...
Registration is open for the September on-site MX user training. If you are an MX user of @diamondlightsource.bsky.social then please to apply to attend - spaces are limited. You'll have the opportunity to visit and learn about all the MX beamlines, data analysis as well as all things logistics.

Happy 10th birthday to eBIC at @diamondlightsource.bsky.social Keeping the MX group looking over their shoulders!

A great end to the #ACA2025 meeting in Chicago! Great to meet so many colleagues in both the X-ray and electron diffraction worlds and present some of our latest research work from VMXm and eBIC at DLS, and the RFI. Many thanks to the organisers!
Another synchrotron ticked off the list with a visit to the Advanced Photon Source, Illinois #ACA2025
Taking bets on if this is crystalline or not. We'll find out next week on @diamondlightsource.bsky.social's VMXm next week with the help of @adamcrawshaw.bsky.social.
Thrilled to have this work published! Thanks to some awesome teamwork, we've demonstrated improvements in multi-crystal data clustering by automatically separating 🐮🐷🧑🔬 #multicrystal #clustering #crystallography doi.org/10.1107/S205...

Participants in the annual serial crystallography workshop for graduates student some funded by our @wellcometrust.bsky.social PhD program have got homework to do in the evening time …. @diamondlightsource.bsky.social @instruct-eric.bsky.social
300 mg is a chonky amount of protein - nice work!
The abstract deadline for the BCA Spring Meeting at the University of Leeds in April has been extended. Abstract are encouraged from all ready of structural biology - not just crystallography! hg3.co.uk/bca/

Okay I've whipped up a preliminary starter pack for crystals and crystallography. Still in the process of searching and adding, please repost and let me know who else in the world of crystals is on bsky!

I refute the claim over engineered! See my colleagues round the ring at I23 ;-) But thanks for the plug!
Our manuscript describing the VMXm beamline at Diamond Light Source is out! The manuscript describes how we coupled a nano focus X-ray beam with an innovative in vacuum sample position to measure micron sized crystals and build a unique MX beamline. journals.iucr.org/s/issues/202...
Diamond MX is coming to you! Our MX workshop showcasing the tools available at DiamondLightSource for protein crystallography will take place in Manchester on 14th May. Sign up below. More of these workshops will take place around the UK! www.diamond.ac.uk/Home/Events/...
A little over a week left to apply for this unique post-doc opportunity!
An exciting time to join the VMXm and HeXI teams to develop X-ray and electron crystallography methods to determine proteins structures from micro/nano-crystals. vacancies.diamond.ac.uk/vacancy/pdra...
This is fun! shiny.rcg.sfu.ca/u/rdmorin/sc...
The subject of my PhD still dominates my Google Scholar profile but VMXm and methods development is creeping up.
BCA British Crystallographic Association Spring meeting- abstract deadline extended to THIS FRIDAY
hg3.co.uk/bca/
And if you are a member of the BCA at PhD/Post-doc stage then bursaries to attend the spring meeting are available docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
1 week until abstract submission closes for the British Crystallography Association Spring Meeting! A great opportunity for early career researchers to present their work in structural biology!
