Not in the EU, but in Oslo you'd be able to call the vaccination center even without being a resident, and get a shot. If you're not in a risk group it would cost you 30 dollars.

PhD position in Bergen on MD+NMR of oligosaccharides with Markus Miettinen, an excellent supervisor. DL: June 1st. www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...
Finally, we're recruiting!
If you'd like to do a PhD using NMR structures to study the dynamics of a metalloenzyme, then you're in luck! Come to Warsaw for this project, in collaboration with Simone Ciofi-Baffoni's group at CERM, Florence: ibb.edu.pl/app/uploads/...
Cathartic right? Maybe I should begin using it.
During my PhD we did sing along to "Bad Project" (a cover of Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance").

NSF is in trouble. Here is my latest Substack post. Please share. open.substack.com/pub/artediso...
Boblediagram som viser realfagprogrammer i Samordna opptak 2025, der hver boble representerer ett studieprogram. X-aksen angir antall førstevalgssøkere (fra ca. 5 til 200). Y-aksen viser antall førstevalgssøkere per studieplass (fra 0,4 til 4,0). Boblenes størrelse tilsvarer antall studieplasser (store bobler som «Biovitenskap» ved UiO har over 150 plasser, små bobler har under 20). Fargene koder institusjon (NTNU i mørkeblå, NMBU i lys grønn, UiO, UiB, UiS og UiT i egne farger). De mest annoterte punktene inkluderer: «Bioteknologi, Trondheim» (NTNU, ca. 135 søkere, 4,0 søkere/plass), «Honoursprogram, Realfag» (UiO, ca. 78 søkere, 3,9 søkere/plass), «Geovitenskap, retning geofysikk» (UiB, ca. 45 søkere, 3,8 søkere/plass), «Biovitenskap» (UiO, ca. 195 søkere, 1,25 søkere/plass), «Biologi» (NTNU og UiO, ca. 175 og 125 søkere, hhv. 2,35 og 1,25 søkere/plass). Diagrammet viser at noen programmer har høy konkurranse (over 3 søkere/plass), mens mange samler moderat interesse (1–2 søkere/plass).
Happy to see that the 5-year biotech master’s (which we coordinate) tops Norway's 2025 natural sciences programs in applicants-per-spot! It’s great to see that biology & bioscience are popular at other unis too. Thanks to all students & colleagues—looking forward to welcome you to NTNU in August!

Never have I ever embarrassed reviewer #2.

We have an open PhD position in molecular modeling to work on the recognition of pollutants by fish receptors. More information and application procedure: www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...
Come and work with us ;)
Work from Ingrid M. Bolstad's MSc thesis is now a preprint! We show how protein secretion from V. natriegens can be used to screen for PET hydrolases. Also, we include negative results on de novo enzymes generated with RFdiffusion+ProteinMPNN.

Perspective by Higman et al: deposition of data for titrations, relaxation rates, PREs, etc in a standardized way, e.g. the NEF format could help develop AI models to accurately predict the dynamic behaviour of a protein from the primary sequence alone. #NMRchat

Ah, no. "Although geldanamycin was active in preclinical studies, it was a poor candidate for clinical trials due to its in vivo toxicity and instability."
It looks like geldanamycin binds to Hsp90 with a Kd of ca. 1 µM
