Structural biologist. High-resolution imaging of macromolecular assemblies (and landscapes). MRC career development fellow/group leader at the Institute of Cancer Research, London. Views my own.

Electronic train station sign detailing train punctuality and percentage of cancelled trains. The numbers are not great.
Views of cryo-EM maps of three early-stage NER assemblies, each shown in two views. The maps are brightly coloured by protein subunit.
Depiction of a streptavidin affinity grid, with a streptavidin monolayer crystal assembled on biotinylated lipids supported on a cryo-EM grid. The streptavidin crystal captures biotinylated DNA templates (depicted schematically in black) onto which NER assemblies (depicted as coloured blob models) can bind.
A composite of four photographs showing birds in their environment.
A panel of 9 images taken in Egmond aan Zee (NL). They include three views of the local lighthouse at sunrise and after sunset, one photo of a very woolly cow amongst green bushes, a seal at the beach, and four panels showing local birds capture in their environment.
Picture of hot cross buns.
A box labelled Hot Cross Bunettone.
Renderings of the CDK11 active site and substrate binding pocket. Top left: AMPPNP (white) bound in the CDK11 active site (green). Top right: Cryo-EM density of the CDK11-cyclin L-SAP30BP complex showing a peptide (light green) in the substrate binding pocket. Bottom left: Molecular model of this peptide occupying the active site in CDK11. Bottom right: A previously determined structure of a substrate peptide (wheat) in the substrate binding site of CDK2 (cyan).
Depictions of the structure of CDK11-cyclin L-SAP30BP. Four cryo-EM densities are shown at the top, two molecules models at the bottom. CDK11 is green, cyclin L is purple, and SAP30BP is yellow.
A collage of 12 photos showing scenes captured in Vietnam, including cityscapes during/after sunset, bridges, market places, and lantern boats.
A wide-angle view of a small cove, with rocks extending into the sea, under a cloudy sky.
Finnish F/A-18 Hornet, front half of the plane, going vertical, vapour streaming across the leading edge root extension.
The upper side of the Danish F-16 showing a stylised national flag, in front of a blue sky.
Finnish F/A-18 Hornet creating a vapour cloud in a tight turn. Photo in black and white.
Collection of butterfly photos arranged in a 2x3 grid. Butterflies (red, orange, white - Inachis io, Aglais urticae, Pieris brassicae) are sitting on pink/violet flowers to feed.
The town of Barga in Italy illuminated by the evening sun.
The presenter standing at a podium, holding a laser pointer towards the screen.
Patrouille Suisse F-5E Tiger II in inverted low-level flight, with the pilot visible in the cockpit.
Five F-5E Tiger II jets in Patrouille Suisse livery in formation "Manta", pictured in front of a blue sky.
FedEx e-mail header showing that the shipment was delivered.
High-rises in Dubai at night.
The Sun Voyager - a metal sculpture - in the foreground, lit by the setting sun, with clouds and blue sky in the background.
A mountain with pink clouds, lit by the sunset, in the background, and a waterfall in the foreground.
Red glowing lava flowing into the sea at night.
Bridge at night, illuminated, with cars passing by.
