🗣️ "Hey FBI, explain how it works!" Today, we’re exploring one of #electronmicroscopy sub-techniques: Cryo-TEM. 💡 Did you know? #CryoTEM is available on many platforms across France-BioImaging infrastructure. Watch the video to learn more and find out where you can access it!

A fun (and useful) read💛

Starter packs are still valuable but there is now a mature set of communities @bsky.app So maybe for the last time (unless things change) An encyclopaedia of starter packs relevant to 'mechanistic' biomedical science (>100 now!)... ...including collective nouns docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Happy space @ucdlibrary.bsky.social

NEW SEASON! #TheMicroscopists is back with guest star Maddy Parsons @KingsCollegeLon talking Dynamics of bioimaging Importance of imaging communities Big mountain adventures Love of animals Architecture + more! Stream: bit.ly/microscopist... @royalmicrosoc.bsky.social @eurobioimaging.bsky.social

Thiiiiiiiisssss!!! Such a good benchmark body of work for #CellBiology and #Microscopy

It is a well known fact that doing a screen on a rainy Saturday will slow down time. Fortunately we have books and tea and snacks and cozy walks to keep us company. #biologicalimaging #cellbiology

Taking a shot here, a colleague is seeking a #postdoc position in/near #Germany. She’s eager to expand into #organoids , & has experience in #Spheroids, #BiologicalImaging, #CellBiology #HighContentMicroscopy Any leads, connections, or suggestions would be hugely appreciated! #Microscopy

Friendly reminder to always celebrate this moment! I think we tend to forget to pause here and enjoy the publication going live. 🍾This is worth having a fuss over. #CelebratePublications #Frontiers

Friendly reminder to always celebrate this moment! I think we tend to forget to pause here and enjoy the publication going live. 🍾This is worth having a fuss over.

Excited to share my first review paper with the amazing #JCSLab! "Harnessing 3D cell models & high-res imaging to unveil nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery" is now published Read here 👉 www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.... #nanoparticles #drugdelivery #Frontiers #imaging #UCD #UCDSBES

Pinch me moment presenting my #CLEXM research at the #CorrelativeMultimodalImaginginLifeSciences event in Paris 🇫🇷 great talks, inspiring experts, and exciting ideas at the intersection of imaging & cell biology. Thanks to @institutpasteur , @SoleilSynchrotron & @SiriusXT_Ltd

Cell Screening Team lab “away” day - featuring the golgi on the big screen at today’s super fun membrane trafficking webinar 🤩 @madeleenbrink.bsky.social @teerna.bsky.social

Segmentation kinda day. Any advice always welcome. #microscopy #Zeiss #Arivis

Hey, do you have a minute? ⏲️ Get to know the scientists behind the #science - in just 60 seconds. Head of Electron Microscopy Steph Nowotarski covers everything from her scientific role model to her favorite food! 🍪

New group photo from a rare moment of sunshine in Dublin earlier this week 🤩🌤️ So indescribably fortunate to be doing my PhD alongside such kind and enthusiastic people, and in my beautiful alma mater 🥰🔬🧫🧬 @madeleenbrink.bsky.social @teerna.bsky.social

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Very briefly got my hands on a @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social Lattice SIM3 yesterday - so pleased with how this quick snap of two (very pretty) live Golgis turned out! 🥹🩷💚 My storyboarding doesn’t do it justice - thank you to Ed for the demo & the beautiful image 😊

I ❤️ CLEXM. These are two dividing cells imaged on the first lab-based soft x-ray microscope. #SXTFriday #SiriusXT #UCD #MSCA #CLEXM

Ready for my group meeting update 😚😆

Personal/reflective/sappy post coming your way. Sitting outside, soaking in the sun waiting for the bus after a few very busy weeks. Last week I had the privilege of presenting a poster at the Biologists@100 conference in Liverpool.

"we have been watching with growing concern policy changes in the US...The scale of disruption to science is unprecedented...We are concerned with policies that threaten censorship & removal of public data...To our colleagues in the US, we stand with you" journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

Building a microscope on your way home after a science talk? Yup - it is possible!

When you leave #Biology100 feeling absolutely inspired and your first experiment back is a colossal flop. #Cryo-EM is a humbling experience. #TryagainMonday 🙈😂

Home and reflecting on a really special week at #Biologists100. I love science, I love scientists, and I am so very grateful for the privilege to be able to immerse myself so fully in exploring that which makes me curious. Excited to see what the future has in store :)

Lovely to see the JCS best paper prize renamed in honor of David Stephens, a fantastic cell biologist the world lost far too soon #biologists100

Incredible talk by Manu Prakash from the @prakashlab.bsky.social and founder of @teamfoldscope.bsky.social. "Don't underestimate how infectious wonder is!" @biologists.bsky.social #Biology100

It’s @drmichaelway.bsky.social talking about @jcellsci.bsky.social and the benefits of publishing there. He announces that the JCS Best Paper Prize has been renamed in honour of David Stephens, JCS editor, who sadly died last year.

At #biologists100, we caught up with @lucygdornan.bsky.social and @teerna.bsky.social @ucddublin.bsky.social by our giant 100! Lucy and Teerna are investigating #MembraneTrafficking in the UCD Cell Screening Lab with Professor Jeremy Simpson.

Silent event on scientific publishing at #Biology100 with @biologists.bsky.social @teerna.bsky.social @lucygdornan.bsky.social

It's poster day! Thank you @biologists.bsky.social for the opportunity. Looking forward to some interesting discussions #Biology100 #CLEXM #MSCA

Beautiful start to the #Biologists100 celebrations 😋! Come chat to me about the Golgi at poster 119 tomorrow 😊

JCS lab ready for #Biologists100 @biologists.bsky.social @bscb-official.bsky.social @lucygdornan.bsky.social

It's a glow discharge kinda day. Prepping some samples for my first end-to-end CLEXM workflow. #Crossedfingersplease

Some serious poster prep happening ahead of next week's #biologists100 looking forward to it! @biologists.bsky.social @bscb-official.bsky.social

Aaaand miniprep is done! Indoctrinated the magnificent @madeleenbrink.bsky.social into the world of molecular cloning - watch out restriction enzymes, she’s coming for you! 🥳🧬

What a glorious day! @lucygdornan.bsky.social and I had the privilege of showcasing origami microscopes #foldscopes to the school kids of Ireland at #BTYSTE with the @ec.europa.eu

Presenting #ScienceISWonderful at Ireland's #BTYSTE with the @ec.europa.eu.

Last day of the first year of my PhD. The lovely people in this photo (and some others not in this photo) made PhD life remarkable, breezy and pleasant. Feeling grateful, reflective, and looking forward to the second year of my PhD😁

🧪🔬 We’re looking for a postdoc! Our lab is hiring a postdoc to work on a really exciting project using high-content microscopy to identify small molecules which enhance phagocytosis of cancer cells. Come and join our team in Dublin! Job reference: 018060 (www.ucd.ie/workatucd/jo...)

The deadline is fast approaching to submit abstracts for the @biologists.bsky.social @100 conference in Liverpool next year. Deadline 13th August - get your abstracts submitted to be considered alongside an amazing line up of confirmed speakers!
