It was mostly steered towards application, with me being one voice of the basic researchers. It was interesting to see a completly different crowd working on a different aspect of collagens!30 Sep 2026 19:29 +0000at://did:plc:pwka5ignitvmtcdiazxhvlmq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwr3culdpc2phttps://bsky.app/profile/gebauer.bsky.social/post/3mq4ih5my7c2pIch teile selten so was, aber diese hier halte ich aber für extrem wichtig für den Erhalt unserer Demokratie - und ich befürchte nicht viele interessiert es ...😬 (🇬🇧 in Germany there is massive attack on transparency by the current goverment...) 👇 #IFG https://weact.campact.de/petitions/spd-stoppt-den-frontalangriff-auf-die-informationsfreiheit?source=bluesky&utm_medium=recommendation&utm_source=bluesky&share=2d97a05a-0933-44af-a788-83db6a6c08bb08 Jul 2026 06:27 +0000at://did:plc:pwka5ignitvmtcdiazxhvlmq/app.bsky.feed.post/3mq4ih5my7c2phttps://bsky.app/profile/gebauer.bsky.social/post/3mpnxdperzc2iSylvie Ricard-Blum started the last workshop for today at #MBE2026 — a fabulous talk on known and maybe-not-yet-known interactions of endostatin, and the wider scope of PPIs in the ECM.

We swapped experimental phasing for #NMR and, for the first time, local #AlphaPulldown.
