Thanks for highlighting our work. I hope it helps the community. Let me know if the Protocol works for you and what @cryosparc.bsky.social could improve.

Ok, time to feel old – for a good cause 😃
I was in the middle of my PhD when our journal was launched.
An online-only journal at a time when most others were not.
This is by definition a VERY special issue. Have a look at what papers we're looking for and be a part of the future of the journal!

Some questions for our structural biology community: What protocols do you think would be useful to have? Do you prefer to watch step-by-step videos, or follow written instructions? Of course, not everything has to be a video, but certain workflows are simply best documented on video #protocols
A new type of article for Acta F: Protocols
The purpose of this new category is to provide to the reader procedures that are sufficiently detailed so other researchers can reproduce the described workflow.
