Incredibly grateful to be part of @EMBOFellows which enabled me to attend the Self-leadership for Women course. The insights, empowerment, and connections gained are invaluable! We're ready to contribute to a stronger, more inclusive scientific community. #WomenInScience

In the upcoming weeks, we will have a workshop in the fields of nuclear pore complex, protein quality control, and intrinsically disordered proteins. We have an awesome list of confirmed speakers and we still have a few registration spots left! Looking forward 🤓🇳🇱

youtu.be/s72KwymHWqc This is the video I made for the "Science in Shorts" competition organized by @NaturePortfolio. I had to explain my research in a creative way under 1 minute. I didn't make it to the Top10, but my video was selected to be in their YouTube library 😁

Started from the 1st of October in the @WilflingLab @MPIbp where I will continue my research on nuclear pore complexes and their quality control 🔬🧫 exciting things to come!
The Wilfling Lab@WilflingLab

We are very happy that our newest postdoc colleague, Els, has recently started in the lab! She will be joining our team investigating degradation of nuclear pore complexes by autophagy, using expertise gained during her postdoc time with @Schliekerlab. Welcome Els 🎉🎉🎉

It's out! Read here our perspective in @FEBS_Letters on the recent findings in the field of nucleoporin condensation and nuclear pore complex assembly and how this might link to neurological disorders doi.org/10.1002/1873-3…

Two weeks ago I heard I got awarded the #Rubicon postdoctoral #fellowship from @NWOFunding! In December I also received the #EMBO postdoc fellowship @EMBOFellows. It took quite some effort to write the proposals and I feel proud it paid off. Now let's do some cool research!🔬🧬🧫
NWO Funding@NWOFunding

15 recently obtained #PhD #researchers will soon leave NL for max. 2 years to conduct research with a Rubicon grant. The U.S. is popular, others travel to Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, the U.K. and Japan. Read about the projects in the news item: nwo.nl/en/news/go-abr…

@TrumanLab InDesign is of course a layout program (for books, magazines, flyers, etc) so it's intuitive for this sort of things. Therefore also for layout of figures. And immediately replacing Word too, no more jumping text😄

@TrumanLab Nobody using InDesign?! I'm surprised. The data themselves you get of course from Graphpad, ImageJ, or Illustrator (for making an illustration!) but for arranging the panels, and adding all the small textual elements to panels, InDesign the programme to use (no PI here btw)

PIs in biological sciences, what software do you create your paper figures with?

@TrumanLab So many advantages! Arranging the panels and their settings, you can "crop" an image by shrinking the binding box but the image itself doesn't crop, there's a list of links to the images so you can always easily find the original, you can export to different file types (incl.EPS)

@KuiperEls What’s the advantage of using in design vs PowerPoint for panel arrangement?

With immense pride I post here that my paper is published in @NatureCellBio! nature.com/articles/s4155… We show that the chaperone DNAJB6 is involved in the biogenesis of nuclear pore complexes, and the maintenance of the disordered proteins that make up the transport barrier

Shoutout to anyone that moves to another country to follow their dreams. Adapting to lang/env/cultural differences whilst studying/researching is mind blowing. It can be difficult for those who have never done this to appreciate just how big that is, it's incredibly impressive.
