Got to check out the MBF "SLICE" this morning. It's so little, I wish I had a banana for scale 😂

🔬 THREAD: UK Bioimaging User Access Fund is OPEN! Up to £5k for imaging experiments, £2k for image analysis Access world-class facilities at Crick, ESRIC, KCL, Liverpool, Oxford Brookes & York First deadline: 9 Dec 2025 📅 🧵👇

Putting good vibes out there and singing "Let it go" while throwing out or putting things in a donate box

With SNAP benefits suspended for now, I just donated to my local food bank. If you can, you should consider donating to your local food bank. No one should be going hungry in this day and age

Registration for Halfway to I2K is now OPEN! And workshop submission is still too (for a bit)! Join 20+ presenters and counting, and hundreds of attendees in learning about image analysis, whether you're a complete beginner or a total pro.

So good news, I got a job offer in London! 🎉 Bad news, my husband has applied for 30 positions with no interviews. If anyone has any connections in London in the information security space, I would be eternally grateful

It's Halloween 🎃 #FlourescenceFriday! Here is a microscopic pumpkin generated by showing a cell nucleus in 🟠 with the primary cilium "stem" in 🟢! I hope everyone has a spooky 👻 day! 🔬 by @stjuderesearch.bsky.social grad student Christina Wang. 🧪

When I was at UTMB, I had raw sewage leak on my confocal. It became known as the poop scope.

5-color STORM with a single laser using cos/sin filters and phasor plots: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We discussed along those lines with @malacridalab.bsky.social in Montevideo last year, great to see that it works!

It's a haunted house for microscopists but it's just a burst pipe over a microscope

I just finished my @unileipzig.bsky.social #LunchLecture. Thanks everyone for the vivid discussion and Nicole Koburger for hosting us! The slides are online #openaccess 🧑‍🏫🔓 zenodo.org/records/1742...

🧠🌟🐭 Excited to share some of my postdoc work on the evolution of dexterity! We compared deer mice evolved in forest vs prairie habitats. We found that forest mice have: (1) more corticospinal neurons (CSNs) (2) better hand dexterity (3) more dexterous climbing, which is linked to CSN number🧵

I'm interviewing for a job in London. Any friends on Bluesky that are American and moved to London that could tell me about their experience? Reddit only goes so far...

Always good to remember more people hate this administration than want it #nokings #boston

#HappyFluorescenceFriday! #microscopycommunity- 🎉 Winners of the BINA Image Contest! 1st Place: Frederic Bonnet – Hexagonal Vision: Compound Eye and Sensory Crown 2nd Place: Nat Prunet – Allergy Season 3rd Place: Arlen Ramírez Corona – Blue, Red and Fish People’s Choice: Mahgol Darvishmolla

I’m thrilled to share my postdoc work and the first paper from the McKinley Lab! 🎉 @karalmckinley.bsky.social We built the first transgenic model of menstruation in mice. We used it to uncover how the endometrium organizes and sheds during menstruation. 🧪 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵

Now that I can say it publicly - huge congratulations to @michelleitano.bsky.social , winner of this year's @bioimagingna.bsky.social Michael W Davidson award for "Community contributions, in any of the areas of Engagement, Education, Mentorship, and Standardization". So well deserved! #GBIxBINA2025

Obelia hydroid colony from Carolina Biological Supply Company. Taken with a 25x/0.8 objective. 20 tiles, 103 "planes" with the Zeiss Lightfield 4D. If you're in the Boston area, come see us at the HCBI!

Identification of optimal fluorophores for use in the Drosophila embryo by Timothy E Saunders and team: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I submitted my first paper as the corresponding author today.🥂 I always imagined it would be science, but it's core management instead 🤷‍♀️

Lightfield 4D has landed at the HCBI. If you are in Boston, come check it out! hcbi.fas.harvard.edu For those not in Boston, enjoy this GIF of a hydra moving around with a z-depth coded LUT

My lab @mpi-muenster.bsky.social is looking for a computational biologist with a passion for imaging and spatial biology. A staff scientist position with long-term perspective! Apply and spread the word 🙏 jobs.mpi-muenster.mpg.de/jobposting/0...

6 of my papers are on the list...

We present a simple method to easily increase the imageable depth of an expansion microscopy gel on a typical inverted microscope ten-fold, using some carefully placed FEP film and a water dipping objective lens:

This was wonderfully written and I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment 👇 www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Does anyone else get to the point in the manuscript that they have to print it out and physically wrote on it to make progress? For me it's when I hit ~90% done

The Onion News Network truck is currently stationed outside the Broadview ICE Detention facility just outside of Chicago.

I had sciatica during pregnancy and sometimes couldn't walk. They still didn't want me to take anything. This will be bad...

Happy #FluorescenceFriday Check out my depth-coded LUT of "Chlamydia divisional rings"

Our cryo-EM is beginning installation. It sat in crates for a long time because funding cuts made it so we couldn't renovate the intended room. We found a place for it with minimal renovation needs. Now hoping we can hire an expert instead of LM people trying to do it...

What are folks' favorite software for making tables these days? I need to make things prettier than my current ones in Google drive...

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

Read Middleton, 2024 on Managing Shared Research Resources and an interview really hit me PI: “I don’t care about your technology, I just want figures for my papers, and I want them to show this" 🫠

I learned to crochet "Disco Fred" because I do best keeping my hands busy. The poor thing looks deformed, but I'm sure my first slide was rough, too 😄

Wrote a eulogy for the yellow letters in my office window. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

What is something (surprising)about science that you didn't know about coming in. Mine is the number of times a week I have to go "righty tightly, lefty loosy" due to use of wrenches and screw drivers

Question for core facility folks. If you have a core newsletter, what do you include? I'm thinking (1) Changes at the facility (2) Upcoming Events (3) Publications from Members and then super user of the month (competition) and image of the month (good, bad, or funny)

After adding this a year ago, we stopped having salty water spills on the SpectraPhysics InSight x3+ laser

Has anyone ever seen this on their monitor and know if it's a monitor problem or a graphics card problem? Finding another monitor is relatively easy. New graphics card for an acquisition computer, a bit more complicated

I'm not sure this is what Fortnum & Mason had in mind when they made their tea, but no one can stop me 😝
