So humbled and grateful for this opportunity, but want to emphasize that none of this would be possible without @marianadeniz.bsky.social who not only had the idea and did the work for the nomination, but saw in me something that I did not. It has been an honor to work with and learn from her. (1/2)

And we're off to a nice start of #OMIBS2025 Pictures feature course directors @michelleitano.bsky.social and Wes Legant introducing the course and our generous sponsors @leicamicrosystems.bsky.social Evident/Olympus @abberior.rocks Coherent @pacificoptica.bsky.social (1/3)

Today, ~40 practicing scientists joined a Zoom lab meeting to hear my Mechanochemical Cell Bio undergrads give research progress talks on their quantitative microscopy studies in MYO10 stable knockdown cell lines. I’ve got graduating seniors looking for science jobs. These folks are ready.

#hiring! come join us at the Advanced BioImaging Center at UC Berkeley to help us build the #CellObservatory! 1/2 aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF04858

Excited for the opportunity to highlight some of the publications in @biotechniques.bsky.social this first quarter of 2025! Congrats to all the authors and contributors! www.biotechniques.com/crispr/the-j...

One more day to apply!! Hope to see you in Woods Hole this summer!!

So grateful to work with Karolien and John on this session on learning to coach at @abrf.bsky.social 2025! Incredible to see people connect with each other, feel empowered, and have ‘aha’ moments of insight as they practiced coaching skills today! #abrf2025

Excited as we are minutes from a session on rigor, reproducibility and transparency practices for shared resources @abrf.bsky.social 2025!

So excited for #OMIBS25! Applications are open until April 2!! Hope to have you join us at the MBL this summer!! www.mbl.edu/education/ad...

Happy #Fluorescence Friday @bioimagingna.bsky.social is extremely grateful to have the support of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and so many great members of our corporate #microscopy community.

Happy 2025 Microscopists! OMIBS has made its Bluesky debut! Please suggest friends to add to our OMIBS starter pack!

Really excited to be @ascbiology.bsky.social #CellBio24! Very excited to have time to talk with you all tomorrow, and grateful to @abrf.bsky.social for helping make the connections!

This is a good news! Good that HHMI recognizes talent is spread out rather than in some elite universities @hhmi.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/funding/howa...

Grateful to attend a Faculty Holiday Reception at the Chancellor’s residence tonight! I appreciate the opportunity to build wonderful connections across the university and another chance to view the incredible UNC curated art on display. 1/2

I created a starter pack for Imaging Scientists that work in core facilities. I'm sure I missed lots of people since I searched for those that have "core" or "facility" in their bios, so let me know who else should be added! go.bsky.app/2bbgRQU

There are many layers here, but I want to comment on one aspect of these findings for now--the editorial board representation. Some will see this and immediately think: we need to get more POC on our boards! I understand that impulse, but encourage you to think a few steps down the game tree 1/n.

I just created a Microscopy feed that tracks anything that has a cute 🔬 emoji on it as well as the simple #microscopy and #imaging tags. Enjoy! bsky.app/profile/did:...

Reminder to update the "social links" in your ORCiD profile with your Bluesky handle:

📕Data visualisation using R, for researchers who don’t use R. (Book Open Access) 👉(psyteachr.github.io/introdataviz...) #AcademicChatter #DataScientist #Statistics #bioinformatics #DataVisualization #phd #python #rstats #neuroscience #artificalintelligence #DataScience #dataviz #coding #AI

Just maybe my proudest achievement will be #TheMicroscopists podcast which highlights the scientists themselves, and not just their amazing science. Revealing their hobbies and passions, their best and most difficult times. Be inspired: bit.ly/the-microsco... and please share

We've created a mailing list for Microtutor, our interactive virtual light microscopy courses! Join to learn about new courses: lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/5BYgJu6/m... Microtutor: microtutor.globalbioimaging.org

Scientists who do Art #scienceart Let me know if you want to be added! go.bsky.app/QQXAQsW

More cell biologists! #cellbiology go.bsky.app/Utnjx1a

Our education team is brainstorming ideas on how to make sure grad student researchers know our free resources exist, but we’d love to include our grad student community on Bluesky! How do you find out about research resources? What would be helpful or useful to you? How did you learn about us?

Made a starter pack for microscopy and image analysis - please (self-)nominate additions! go.bsky.app/Nwa91pC

The afternoon session is "Communications & Broader Impacts Across Networks" hosted by the Communication Working Group. I've been part of this WG since 2019, so I might be biased in reporting ;-) #BINA2024CC www.bioimagingnorthamerica.org/communicatio...

The @UNC_NMC Microscopes love their users! In appreciation of our users come grab a treat from 5202 MEJ today! 🫶🔬💗

Enrollment is now open for our Spring semester Microscopy course! Email asap to enroll! 🔬🎉👇

Come visit with us! See the scopes in action, meet with NMC staff, grab a sticker and make a cookie!! 🤩🔬🎉👇

What an incredible three days traveling with fellow faculty and senior administrators across western North Carolina on the Tar Heel Bus Tour: from trains and roundhouses to muscadines, goats, cheerleaders and FFA leaders, to mayors, business owners, musicians, archivists and athletes, to pharmacies…

It’s starting to look like fall in the core!!

I love working at Carolina and I'll start with a shout-out to the amazing mentors there who helped me become a cell biologist

Arrived in Mexico for LABIxBINA 2023 and am already enjoying meeting up with wonderful friends and colleagues! And the 80 degree weather, open pool and historic and natural beauty of the Hacienda is stunning! Can’t wait for the next few days! #LABIxBINA2023

Could not be more grateful to everyone who contributed to make this issue dedicated to Ken a reality… and especially to @chillinwithpfn1.bsky.social for making this cover something to treasure.
