Izaak gave a talk in the “Ion Mobility” section titled “A Journey Through the Centre of the Coronavirus: Understanding the Nucleocapsid Protein and its Interactions with RNA” which went down a storm with attendees. Not only was his talk engaging, his comparison of disordered proteins to spaghetti cheered everyone up on the morning of the final day.
