Couple interesting tidbits from the CM/AMO rumor mill:

• Ahmet Yildiz is apparently on the short list for a faculty position at Cornell. Ahmet and I worked together in the Selvin lab. He published the extremely influential first paper on FIONA doing single molecule tracking of myosin V. Go Ahmet!
• Tommy Angelini and I were also in grad school together, and though he doesn't do SM biophysics, I thought I'd mention that he's also listed as up for a biophysics job at Colorado. I sent him a Facebook message to confirm (except that he changed his Facebook name to "Manchester Hoboken", because he's a crazy mofo like that. Tommy used to have a band called Shakin' Babies.) Updates as they appear.

Also not from the rumor mill, but Michael Stone from the Zhuang lab is coming here (Stanford) to give a job talk next week, titled Single-molecule studies of telomerase ribonucleoprotein assembly, structure, and function. I'm interested in RNA structure, and did quite a bit of reading about telomerase pseudoknots a while back, so this should be interesting.
