Aníbal Vargas Ríos updated us on the success of LiSIUM and then discussed differences in engagement when offering webinars in Spanish, highlighting the importance of considering language in democratising access. #BiologistsWorkshops lightsheetchile.cl

Our morning session started with talks on the open science ecosystem from Tobias Wenzel & Hernán Grecco. Both speakers emphasised the importance of training. Quote of the day so far, “By democratising science, we strengthen democracy!” #BiologistsWorkshops focalplane.biologists.com/2022/10/11/a...

One of the most relevant challenges in light sheet microscopy is the mounting of samples. Different strategies, creativity and a lot of patience are required to carry out this task! Would you like to see the final result? Clarified sample (CUBIC) by Ignacio Casanova (U.Chile)

Light sheet 🤎 We are very pleased to share the experience of light sheet microscopy in EMBO#DevBiol course @devbioquintay.bsky.social #spreadtheknowledge #southamericanlightsheet #lightsheetcommunity

We will be there! #lightsheetmicroscopy

What an experience! We were this weekend at the First Congress of the Chilean Society for Developmental Biology at @udeconcepcion.bsky.social, with our stand @lisium-chile.bsky.social of the CIB-U. Mayor, promoting access to the lightsheet #lightsheet7 with support from @cziscience.bsky.social
