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!

#GEF25 LIVE BROADCAST www.youtube.com/live/a_0X5Le...

Excited to announce our partnership with CSR Biotech, an innovative company that develops #intelligent imaging solutions. Together, we are introducing a series of #awards at #GEF25 to recognize outstanding contributions: Awards: Poster Awards (€400, €300, €200) Stage Award (€300) Media Award (€300)

Speakers wear red, Attendees wear blue, ExM’s biggest gathering Is waiting for you. #GEF25 — the #ExM event of the decade. Just 8days away! Partners: @abberior.rocks & Wiley

Three paid #internships in my group: 2 in #AI, 1 in #biology. Interns work on high-quality research and often co-author papers . Details in flyers. Deadline: Sept 25, 2025. Our group: www.neuro-physiol.med.uni-goettingen.de/dr-ali-shaib/

Small-cell lung #cancer doesn’t just grow, they #hijack #neurons. With Filippo Beleggia, Vignesh Sakthivelu, Silvio Rizzoli & colleagues, we show tumors form synapses with vagal & cortical neurons, tapping glutamatergic drive to fuel proliferation. Interrupting helps www.nature.com/articles/s41...

For anyone joining #GEF25: here’s an #AI-simulated step-and-repeat #stage. A backlit #blue banner, warm #wooden walls, and two 45° white light projectors. Match your #outfit, get #fashionable 😉 Who said scientists can’t have #style?

Grateful to see our work on ONE microscopy featured on the cover of Wiley Microscopy and Analysis. ONE aims to make molecular resolution accessible to labs with fluorescence imaging, contributing to the broader effort to democratize super-resolution. analyticalscience.wiley.com/content/maga...

Leisel and our team are gearing up to welcome #world #leaders in #superresolution and #expansion #microscopy, leading #biotech companies, and top #science #editors at #GEF25. See you on September 26! www.rizzoli-lab.de/gef25/

Excited to host my friend and collaborator Leo for the #SFB Seminar in #Göttingen on September 18, 2025, at 12:00 PM in the Center for Biostructural Imaging of Neurodegeneration seminar room. He will discuss #RNA-driven mechanisms that shape embryonic cell fate and identity. @kurianlab.bsky.social

Two inspiring weeks in #Göttingen hosting colleagues from #Germany, #Egypt, #Lebanon, #France and #Argentina, including @kurianlab.bsky.social , Münch lab, #GUC interns and @wellcometrust i4A visitors. Focused on ONE microscopy technology, training, and new collaborations. Very grateful to my team!

Our newest work on #Parkinson’s Disease reveals that glutamatergic #neurons show surprising resilience to overexpressed #human α-synuclein, even at levels mimicking familial PD gene triplications, underscoring the complexity of α-syn #biology. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The Platform has some Easter eggs. It can do more.

Excited to have 3i Intelligent Imaging Innovations @the.3i.social on board as a sponsor for #GEF25, celebrating 10 years of Expansion Microscopy. Great to team up with cutting-edge imaging specialists as we look ahead. 🔗 rizzoli-lab.de/gef25/

Check out our new manuscript on #AI, IVEA, a #deeplearning platform that detects vesicle exocytosis with human-level accuracy & 60 times faster performance. IVEA operates across different #cell types, #fluorescence markers, and #microscopy techniques, even in low SNR. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Have you heard of 'Imaging for All'? This fantastic initiative offers scholarships for researchers from the Global South to train in top imaging labs across Europe and the U.S.! @alishaib.bsky.social shares his insights on the topic @globalbioimaging.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=plr1...

The full episode is out now on YouTube! I cover revolutionizing fluorescence imaging, Nobel Prize thoughts, work-life balance, Global South internships, and the massive super-resolution conference I’m organizing—Göttingen’s biggest ever. youtu.be/lZry8WV4j3g?...

I was thrilled to be the guest on Ep 23 of the Neuroscience & Beyond podcast where we discuss Science, ONE Microscopy, AI, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Science Politics and Corruption. We didn't shy away from the hot topics, having an engaging and thought-provoking conversation. Episode soon.

From a #trip to #riodejaneiro What a #city! #Brazil #beach 🌴🌴🌴🇧🇷

Earlier this year in July, I had the honor of being invited to give a lecture at the #Lebanese #University in #Beirut, a city now on a path to recovery from war. During the visit, I was awarded for my contributions to founding BioBeirut in 2011, handed to me by the University President Prof. Badran.

#eternal #city #Rome with my #lens. I captured these photos during my visit to give a talk at the National Institute for Health. #Italy #ancient #photography

#Bluesky folks, Just joined. Figuring out the lay of the land. I'm into #science – the really small stuff. Also, #photography is my jam, and yeah, #Cadbury hot #chocolate is where it's at for me.
