Spent 9 days in #China. Came back with a renewed respect for green #tea and a growing collection of questionable tea experiments. 🍵 So far: the #ginseng ten treasures tea failed miserably, the #Longjing was a partial success, and the #SenchaSenpai was surprisingly excellent. #newskillunlocked.

Zeshi is an excellent scientist and a thoughtful collaborator. If you’re considering a #postdoc in #chemical #biology, this is a strong opportunity in a very solid group. www.uu.nl/en/organisat...

Our CytoTape work is published today in Nature @nature.com! CytoTape is a genetically encoded, flexible, intracellular protein tape recorder for spatiotemporally scalable and multiplexed recording of cellular activities continuously across weeks in vitro and in vivo. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Your conventional light microscope can do more than you think. How far can it actually go? Join me today at 4:00 PM CET. Link: events.bitesizebio.com/democratizin... Webinar hosted by Hosted by: @leicamicrosystems.bsky.social

#Proteins are ~10 nm. #Fluorescence #microscopes were never meant to see them beyond a single dot. On March 11 I’ll discuss how #ONEmicroscopy pushes #imaging toward true #molecular #scale. Hosted by @leicamicrosystems.bsky.social Register today: events.bitesizebio.com/democratizin...

What if your confocal could see #proteins like never before? Next stop: molecular resolution with ONE microscopy. I’ll be sharing how we push standard fluorescence systems to the nanometer scale and what this means for structural biology and cell #biology. Link events.bitesizebio.com/democratizin...

It was great pleasure hosting you at Westlake University! And you research is just mindblowing! I am looking forward to all cool technologies from your lab!

#Beijing 🇨🇳 where #history and modernity collide in the #best way. #Epic contrasts, beautiful #city, #kind people, #healthy #food and great #science

2nd destination of #China #science tour: #WestlakeUniversity which stood out for how architecture, core facilities, & scale actually work. Centralized microscopy pipelines, unmatched instrument density, & unreal procurement economics. Strong PI discussions, BRILLIANT students, great #Hangzhou vibe.

#Labubus roam freely in #China 🇨🇳 & are known to cause jitter. At #NBIC, vibration is solved architecturally: the entire floor is isolated, not individual microscopes. Located in #Huairou #Science City, minutes from the HEPS #synchrotron, the building itself becomes the stabilizing instrument.

Visit to #Beijing #China 🇨🇳 #PekingUniversity, the National Biomedical Imaging Center (#NBIC), hosted by Professors Liangyi Chen, Zhixing Chen, and Peace Chen. Over 19 one-to-one technical discussions across imaging, cryo-EM/ET, chemistry, and AI. Heading next to #WestlakeUniversity in #Hangzhou.

A remarkable day for #Lebanon 🇱🇧🇻🇦 as the country welcomes His Holiness #Pope Leo XIV. As the late Pope John Paul II once said, ‘Lebanon is more than a country, it is a message.’ A message of #peace and #coexistence that still matters. I wish I could have been in Lebanon today.

Seeing Proteins at Nanoscale: ONE Microscopy 🎥 Watch Episode #23 with Dr. Ali Shaib @alishaib.bsky.social to explore how #ONEMicroscopy is revolutionizing the imaging and advancing #diagnostics. Watch the full episode here: youtu.be/lZry8WV4j3g?...

The amount of AI-written stuff online is scary. I don’t have the numbers, but it already feels like a flood. In a few years, reading something actually written by a human might feel like a luxury.

It gets worse, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is going to teach them Al-jabr (algebra) 🙅🏻‍♂️💁🏻‍♂️

#NYC today is 6—7

You African Studies majors out there: you too can become mayor of New York City!!!

I am a boring old lady and I already dropped off my mail in ballot weeks ago, but YOU CAN STILL VOTE TOMORROW (well, some of you). These elections REALLY MATTER, so please don't sit them out. Apathy is our enemy.

#truestory: My intern: “I was in high school when you finished your PhD.” Me, 24 hours later: sipping my #labubu latte, Googling “fountain of #youth,” and wondering if #Botox is covered under the grant as “equipment maintenance” 🥲

Great few hours spent in #Soglio, #Switzerland 🇨🇭 what a place. Perched above Val Bregaglia, surrounded by #ancient chestnut trees planted by Protestant refugees, and facing #sunsets that set the #Sciora peaks on fire.

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!

💻 Computer’s been updating for 25 minutes: perfect excuse to get some morning #exercise in. Sometimes #technology decides when it’s your turn to #reboot.

what a great place to hold a meeting! Thank you Tobias-sqaure (Tobias Moser and Tobias Brügmann) for organizing the #Optogenetics 2025 conference and for inviting me!

a behind-the-scenes #GEF25 captured moment. #truestory #notai #no_researchers_were_harmed_in_this_video

I hope this Nobel Prize gets people talking meaningfully about our amazing immune systems and the importance of basic research to human health (and funding basic research). I am also glad young women get to see that women can not only work at this level, but that those who do can get recognized.

What a fantastic 2 days at Frontiers in Neurophotonics. Huge thanks to the organizers for putting it together and for inviting me. It was great catching up with our friend Markus Sauer and Le epic @christlet.bsky.social, & shared a taxi ride with THE @jungmannlab.bsky.social 🧡

The Göttingen Expansion Microscopy Forum (#GEF25) has concluded — here are 80 unforgettable moments captured in photographs. www.facebook.com/share/p/1BPL...

Want to hear a mid-career PI pontificate about science, career and cooking? Today's your lucky day thanks to The Microscopists podcast! Thanks Peter @yorkbioimaging.bsky.social for having me 🎙️🎧 themicroscopists.bitesizebio.com/episodes/chr...

I nominate @christlet.bsky.social for chairing the "Best Goodies Award" for #GEF27 or ExM Gordon Conference 27.

Honorable mention: @abberior.rocks stickers!

#GEF2025 the meeting is winding down, but it's been an incredible few days. I gave my last talk on behalf of Nature Methods yesterday. It's been amazing to see how far this field has come in ten years. A huge thanks to my hosts Ali and Silvio!!

#GEF25 Concluding Plenary Lecture with the wonderful Virginie Hamel.

In the #GEF25 Presidential Lecture, chaired by @eboyden3.bsky.social, Stefan Hell presented a conceptual breakthrough, a dramatic shift from the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry on super-resolution: fluorophores no longer need on–off states, effectively nullifying the diffraction barrier.

On behalf of the #GEF25 organizing team, Silvio and I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to @abberior.rocks for their partnership and for helping make GEF25 a success for the community.

At #GEF25 to prove Ed Boyden needs no introduction, Silvio Rizzoli gave us a pop quiz about him, and we passed 😂 but I learned he has a 115 page CV!!

Kicking off #GEF25, the Morning Presidential Lecture features @eboyden3.bsky.social on the origins and mission of the event, who calls it 'the first conference of its kind'.

The early Sunday morning Plenary kicks off with @ewerslab.bsky.social, chaired by Tiago Outeiro — setting the stage for an exciting day at #GEF25

Jae-Byum Chang now presenting his work on whole vertebrate animal expansion. #GEF25

Evening plenary lecture by Jörg Bewersdorf! #GEF25 who brought us panExM!

Early departure for #GEF25

Here we go! #GEF25

Jörg Enderlein is speaking now at #GEF25

Really excited to travel to Germany today to attend the PicoQuant Single-Molecule workshop (www.picoquant.com/events/detai...) and then the Göttingen Expansion Microscopy FORUM (GEF25)! www.rizzoli-lab.de/gef25/program/ At the latter I will give my final talk on behalf of Nature Methods.

We are starting at #GEF25 with a plenary lecture by none other than Markus Sauer @sauer-lab.bsky.social and yes, there is ExM-STORM!

I hope I am not adding to your FOMO, but the Gottingen Expansion Microscopy meeting is just starting and it's already amazing! Great to connect with so many of my authors over the years!! #GEF25

#FluorescenceFriday: getting ready for #GEF25, playing with Ciarán's stunning ExM data

The amazing Expansion Microscopy meeting #GEF25 is kicking off. Thanks to @alishaib.bsky.social and Silvio Rizzoli for organizing!
