Protein Crystallization
Fourth-graders will get to meet six or so of us real-life researchers and ask us questions. After that, we will purify DNA from bananas, recover it, and take it home in a test-tube to show family and friends. Interested grade-school teachers in the Stockholm area are welcome to apply for their class. The program is […]
This course called Applied Biomedical Communication and Professional Development has been running since 2022. This is a popular course — 47 masters students this year. It covers scientific writing, oral presentation skills, and career planning. In my workshop this week, the students learn to apply linguistic strategies for improved readability and flow in scientific manuscripts. […]
The National Research Center of Italy is the venue for this workshop: Crystallographic Quality and Beyond: Structural Biology at the Core of Rational Drug Design. The workshop is free of charge, but requires registration. Travel stipendiums are available for PhD students. I will be the keynote lecturer opening the workshop on Wednesday with Protein Crystallization […]
This course is part of their program for Service Technicians in the Life Sciences. Academic scientific writing and technical writing share many similarities, but there are some requirements specific to writing a technical report. These apply regardless of whether the report is in Swedish or English. My lecture will present “The Top Ten Tips for […]
It’s time again for the annual Macromolecular crystallography course at CSHL. It has been running for 37 years. I’ll be teaching in the crystallization labs during the first week. After the crystals grow, they will be sent to Brookhaven Synchrotron for data collection during the second week.
3 April 2025 Today I was at Karolinska Institutet again, this time as one of six volunteers for Berättarministeriet. We assisted a class of sixth graders in isolating DNA from a banana. This is an outreach program, held all over Sweden, that gives elementary school students an opportunity to meet real-life scientists, ask us questions, […]
This week I am teaching at Karolinska in the Applied Biomedical Communication and Professional Development course. This is a popular course — 60 masters students again this year. It covers scientific writing, oral presentation skills, and career planning. In my workshop this week, the students learn to apply linguistic strategies for improved readability and flow […]
I will be officially retiring at the end of this year. To take proper farewell of my colleagues after 44 years at the lab bench, we will gather for a vegetarian Lebanese meze at Byblos.
I’ll be teaching here again October 14-28 at the Macromolecular Crystallography Course for 16 participants. Lectures, lab practicals and data collection—an intense two weeks.
My video “How to Set up Protein Crystallization Experiments” has been selected for inclusion in the American Crystallographic Association’s library. To my delight, I received a prize for this. Thank you, thank you. Spread the word about this new website resource and encourage your colleagues and friends to submit their videos as well. Here is […]
