Wonderful read about the work ethos among 1980s Xerox service technicians and the importance of practical wisdom and storytelling. That’s what drew me to the community of multiphoton microscope tinkerers, and it explains why I find meaning in the unglamorous process of troubleshooting.

Fantastic work (as always) from Che-Hang Yu and colleagues in Spencer LaVere Smith's lab. Very neat method to increase scan speed and/or FOV in 2p microscopy. Commercially available from
@pacificoptica.bsky.social
. I'd love to build this for a client at some point!

I've been working with Class 4 lasers for 25 years and I have yet to meet someone who gets genuinely excited about laser safety risk assessments. Thanks to artificial intelligence you can now create a pep talk from two artificially excited narrators to prepare you for the dullest of tasks 😂

Question for my multiphoton friends: I've heard that Conoptics, manufacturer of Pockels Cells for laser power attenuation, will cease trading in June 2025. But I can't find any official announcement about this. Can someone confirm whether this is true or not?

My wife found this Christmas tree stand in my parents' basement. It's a Kalliope Gloriosa stand with integrated music box, manufactured in 1904. The principle of using a perforated disc to pluck tuned lamellae to produce musical notes was patented in 1885 by Paul Lochmann.

Have you ever wondered how memories are processed downstream of the

and how this is affected by
#Alzheimer's
? We believe we may find some answers by riding all the way down the fornix to the mammillary body. Apply here for a fully-funded
