Always fun to see my pic popping up since I gave it to NIH for the Brain Initiative website (and had to make it public domain for that, so no credit expected)

Sunday

I'm sorry what le fuck

zero and zero, LLM-free manuscripts only

Our work on Trichoplax locomotion and mechanosensing capabilities is out now in @currentbiology.bsky.social. Congrats Marvin Leria & all co-authors! authors.elsevier.com/c/1n8Ig3QW8S...

[ #VeilleESR #LPPR ] "Toute CPJ pourvue en 2026 devra être gagée par le non-remplacement d'un départ d'enseignant-chercheur" (circulaire Dgesip) par @carolinel-tavares.bsky.social et Marie-Pierre Vega pour @aefsuprecherche.bsky.social Explicite trahison de la parole donnée.

The MOSAIC swiss army knife microscope (its previous name) has been published in @natmethods.nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Check out some fluorescent images (with music by Kygo & Carter Faith) from a The Scientist article describing how @christlet.bsky.social uses super-resolution #microscopy to study neuronal architecture and dynamics. www.the-scientist.com/super-resolu... #FluorescenceFriday #neuroscience 🧪

I Iearned a lot - I'll keep the efficiency of horse vs elephant dung for composting in a 20 m³ container in mind to stand out at parties

It is not too late to sign up for the next online EMBO Lab #Leadership course for #postdocs running 16 - 18 June. Places are still available; register here: www.embolableadership.org/course/embol... #EMBOLabLead

“Nordic model“ not looking good right now

We had a nice lab lunch today! I'm very lucky to work with these folks

My secret hope is that Google is such a huge and slow ship that by the time they manage to change direction toward the current fad, it's already time drop it so they just kill a bunch of stuff nobody used anyway (see: web3.0, social media, augmented reality…)

There's gaslighting and then there's Colissimo tracking-level gaslighting

Je viens de réaliser que je n'avais jamais été sollicité pour signer une tribune. Pas Le Monde, pas Libé, pas Médiapart, rien. A bientôt 50 ans le constat est rude @mixlamalice.bsky.social

The "Blanchoin cell" @lblanchoin.bsky.social has crawled into the @planetvie.bsky.social website, a free French resource for teaching biology hosted by @normalesup.bsky.social: planet-vie.ens.fr/thematiques/...

I keep these on my desk so that visitors wonder about my secret lab activities

What about the Möbius reference check, when paper A cites paper B which cites paper A

@science.org is looking for a new editor to look after regenerative medicine and neuroscience submissions. Come join us! Check out this Associate or Senior Editor opportunity recruiting.ultipro.com/AME1123ASEM/...

I had a great time! Microscopy X cell biology are the best people

That’s a wrap for #JCSimaging, organised by @franbottanelli.bsky.social, @guijacquemet.bsky.social, @drmichaelway.bsky.social & Giulia Zanetti. Thanks to everyone who joined us and made the conference such a wonderful community event. journals.biologists.com/jcs

Still a great track more than 15 years later youtu.be/DttmAAWs4dU?...

"Y’all are just inventing new genres daily and I love it" www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ty4...

Excited to share our latest work in @ScienceAdvances! 🔬 We’ve developed "dynaMIET"—a new spectroscopy technique that finally allows us to simultaneously measure 3D membrane dynamics in live cells with nanometer precision. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Off to a flying start on the final day of #JCSimaging with @christlet.bsky.social. He described work on clathrin-coated pits and exocytic events in “clearings” in the membrane-associated periodic skeleton in axons.

Two great talks to start day 3 of #JCSimaging. Jonas Reis talked about phaseFLUX, a new version of MINFLUX. Virginie Hamel presented work on UExM. Amazing images and showing that cryofixation improves the preservation to better resolve subcellular structures.

Check the little video they made from the interview (with the “Rolex” Rave skateboards tee-shirt 😆)

How come @jonasries.bsky.social's lab look like they about to drop the best indie rock album of 2026

@guijacquemet.bsky.social not only co-organized the meeting, he also brought great science with him. EM images of filopodia *between* epithelial cells in vivo! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We are very pleased to announce Prof. Paul Guichard and Dr. Virginie Hamel @centriolelab.bsky.social as joint winners of the RMS Award for Light Microscopy 🔬 👏 🏅 Huge congratulations to both! Read more about Paul and Virginie's achievements: www.rms.org.uk/resource/pro...

It's not even 9 am at the @biologists.bsky.social Imaging Cell Dynamics meeting and we already learned that: - @franbottanelli.bsky.social played in an all-girl punk rock band in Milan - young @steveroyle.bsky.social had a strong shirt game (but not enough to rival @drmichaelway.bsky.social)

There should be a Wayne patron saint of biology given how both ApE and ImageJ come from people named Wayne

Finally arrived at the @biologists.bsky.social "Imaging Cell Dynamics" meeting after some train adventures. Already heard great science and enjoying the stunning view from my room

I was interviewed by @snehakhedkar.bsky.social for The Scientist about our work using super-resolution microscopy to map the neuronal architecture, and make nice pictures along the way! Check the article here: www.the-scientist.com/super-resolu...

Bikepacking mode activated (with an unplanned test of the bags' waterproofness)

Kash lab at UNC is hiring a new technician (our current two are off to grad school!!) posting will go live soon, email me CV and names of references if interested.

🚨Our preprint on DL for single-image super-resolution in microscopy is out!🌟 sl1nk.com/p62yedg Our benchmark recaps an adventure of learning and questioning with @ivanhcenalmor.bsky.social & @iarganda.eurosky.social 🌟 how to objectively assess SISR models & ease the choice for their use in👉 biology🔬

Hopefully someone will leave a comment on bioRxiv and peer pressure will help getting a v2 correcting this "mistake" (it has worked well in the past)

Partner is away and writes to me in a panic because her laptop's keyboard has gotten crazy and adds tons of spaces to everything she writes. Saved by a GOAT 5-year old reddit answer that solved the problem for *everyone*: her BT keyboard connected from her backpack 😆

NTS Radio reading my mind to deliver the best work music, part 1:

New paper out! Left-handed DNA cannot bind to natural, right-handed DNA. This leads to lower background if it is used as a probe in DNA-PAINT. Using Fluorigenic DNA-PAINT with left-handed DNA allows for low background, fast 3D DNA-PAINT! Congrats, Bas! skeetorial: 1/x pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....
