[ccp4bb] Two Postdoctoral Positions in Ion Channel Structure and Function
Dear Colleagues, Two postdoctoral positions are available in the labs of Dr. Juan Du and Dr. Wei Lü at the Van Andel Institute, MI. The Du lab and the Lü lab (dululabs.com) are interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms of how the body perceives sensory information (e.g. taste, smell, vision, and temperature), transmits signals to the brain, and generates responses. We focus on ion channels involved in the basic senses. We employ a range of structural and biophysical approaches, including single-particle cryo-EM, patch-clamp electrophysiology, and other biochemical methods. The cryo-EM facility at Van Andel Institute hosts a Titan Krios equipped with a K3 camera, and a Talos Arctica equipped with a K2 camera. Experience in structural biology, membrane protein biochemistry, or ion channel electrophysiology is preferred, but not required. Interested individuals should send a CV and a cover letter to Juan Du (juan...@vai.org) or Wei Lü (wei...@vai.org). For more information, please visit our lab’s website.

Re: [ccp4bb] pictures in emails
Hear hear! On top of that, I look at my emails as plain text (so I can see
where links go, much more secure). This means that I don't see that there is
supposed to be a picture unless I convert the message back to HTML.
Cheers,
Robbie

[ccp4bb] pictures in emails
Two suggestions for people sending pictures of electron density to the BB:
1. Reduce the size of the pictures-
The two pictures in yesterday's email appear nice and small in my email client, but still
illustrate what is being described. However they are actually 4032x3024 and 2040x1458
pixels, making for rather large emails. All that extra resolution is wasted unless the
user opens the image directly ("view image"), and in any case is completely
unnecessary for the point being made. I think about 600x600 pixels is plenty for almost
anything you want to show in electron density.
This does not require manipulation in photoshop or such- just reduce the size
of the graphics window and take a screenshot of that window.
2. send the picture as an attachment rather than inline. That way it won't be
included in all the replies. Or if the people replying could find some way to
exclude pictures or formt the reply as plain-text, that would help.
(No, I'm not receiving these emails via 1200 baud modem- but I like to save the
messages for future reference. If the trend continues toward high-resolution
inline screenshots, that will take a significant amount of disk space. And yes,
I know there is an archive.)
