really nice cochlea whew!

If you're attending 🎉 Microscopy & Microanalysis 2025! 🎉 definitely say hello at booth 1228 and try out the latest workflows in syGlass

A #microscopy mystery for #3DThursday!🌾 What is this? 🔍 Things that I know: it is a #plant, it was imaged on a Lumafield #microCT, and the color is a LUT (look up table) that I applied in #syGlass and has nothing to do with the organism (microCT comes in as grayscale). Help! #SciComm

The Confetti Cannon was the work of one of our UC Berkeley @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social summer interns!

Happy 4th for #3DThursday! 🎉 Do I occasionally forget and then remember ecstatically that we have a confetti cannon in the syGlass room? Yes, yes, I do ... #syGlass #VRScience #Microscopy #SciComm

Finally plants for #3DThursday!🌽 A maize root tip, imaged using #microCT, from the Topp Roots Lab. 🔬: @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social Versa 520 XRM 🥼: Keith Duncan @cygnusplantxray.bsky.social 🏛️: Danforth Center @danforthcenter.bsky.social 📝: academic.oup.com/plphys/artic... 🎬: syGlass.io #syGlass

I am incredibly honored to represent the NCSSS at the China-US STEM and AI Education Seminar. Fantastic to share our work at syGlass on the forefront of immersive science, education, and #AI. I look forward to working with our Chinese allies in connecting students and scientists around the world.

What I find amazing is that we have to wrestle text to make it perfect, accurate and fit in five pages for a 10% chance of it getting funded, and then some people can say "imagine the wolves in game of thrones lol" and they get ten billion buckaroos no strings attached

Imagine a ghostly white #direwolf roaming again. 🧬🧪🐺 #ColossalBiosciences recently unveiled genetically engineered gray wolf pups, sparking interest in recreating the dire wolf. The species diverged 1.5-2M yrs ago - amazing how similar their skulls are. Not quite #DeExtinction, but cool! syglass.io

🧠It's a #3DThursday Sholl analysis in syGlass.io! This is a method to quantify neuronal branching by counting dendritic intersections with concentric circles around the soma. Simple but powerful! 🔬📊 #Neuroscience #Microscopy #syGlass #Neurobiology #SciComm

Throwback from 2023: People are always asking me, "how hard is it to learn to use syGlass?" This student is a great example -- 10 seconds in the headset and he's ready to explore. That's because interacting with 3D objects is the same in real life and in VR: reach out and grab it!

absolutely beautiful data to work with! makes me want to upgrade my GPU 😂

fantastic article on the societal benefits of funding the NIH! read this and then tell me you still want to cut funding 🤡

if you're in Denver, stop by @TatteredCover tonight for some science virtual reality! www.tatteredcover.com/pages/cu-med...
