At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

This is the kind of things PhD student Louis can do with @ekatrukha.bsky.social's CurveMorph: following protein movement whithin growing axons in his stunning 80-hour movies

Want to hear about axons, endo-exocytosis, and fancy microscopy? My recent talk to the Helmholtz Information & Data Science School For Health is available on youtube:

We present: Index-agnostic oblique plane light sheet microscopy of centimetre-scale cleared tissues at subcellular resolution www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🔬✨ New paper alert! advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... We show kinase activation and mitochondrial bioenergetics at the nanoscale by combining FRET + super-resolution microscopy. 💡 Want to try it? Our method and code is 100% open-source. DM me if you’re interested!

Hello #world, meet 1,000× Expansion Microscopy. A small gel would grow to the size of an Olympic swimming pool, while amino-acid-scale distances become visible with ordinary light microscopy. Led by Helena Hu from @eboyden3.bsky.social's lab, in collab with us. Story: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

What a start for the second day of the Club Exo Endo meeting with keynote speaker C.Leterrier who uses state-of-the art superresolution microscopy to resolve axonal cytoskelon organization. Hot spots of endocytosis and exocytosis in clearings free of actin and spectrin. Fascinating talk!

Data manipulation at a breathtaking scale by commercial providers of crucial research reagents. As if the few remaining lab scientists didn't face enough obstacles already.

Interested in super-resolution microscopy? Come to Bordeaux next October for a workshop, a meeting, or both! This @france-bioimaging.bsky.social initiative will foster exchange between scientists from France, China and everywhere thanks to @cnrs.fr support: france-bioimaging.org/news-events/...

What if you got to work with some of your best friends on a science project? I can't publish how fun this was, but I can show you the data (🧵)! Last week, we posted our second neutrophil swarming paper to bioRxiv and I wanted to post my favorite videos here~ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Out in @natmethods.nature.com: More dyes. They work. Quite well. And blink. Pick the one that fits your target, your technique, and your labeling density. With too many collaborators and institutes to list, but anchored at @hhmijanelia.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Last week I shared results showing large variability between Imaris/Arivis/Aivia vs Python/ImageJ/CellProfiler. Much was due to small code issues (x/y swaps, microns vs pixels). After fixing, results are much closer—no big log-scale gaps. Some variability remains, but large errors weren’t real.

🚀 Great to see @eurobioimaging.bsky.social highlight the innovative #EnderScope, a low-cost, open-source microscopy system expanding access to imaging! 🔬👏 Kudos to Jérôme Mutterer (IBMP microscopy platform). ▶️ www.eurobioimaging.eu/news/innovat...
