It is truly amazing what you can build with @openuc2.bsky.social ! 🔬

Applications for this life changing microscopy course are due Jan 30 🔬 Info session tomorrow!

Did you miss our last info session? Don't worry, we're having another one! What is AQLM? What will I learn? What will it be like? Are there snacks? We will answer these and any other burning questions. Join us! 🔬 📆 January 20 ⏰ 12:00 pm EST 📍Zoom! Register here forms.gle/Q5KifPS6TtEe...

Mark your calendars, the Signaling by Adhesion Receptors GRC is June 7 - 12, 2026. We have a terrific program that balances developmental biology, cell polarity, and adhesion and signaling. Please spread the word! www.grc.org/signaling-by...

Don't miss out. Apply to our 2026 Advanced Research Training Courses today!

🚨 Job Alert! 🚨 We have an opening at our Microscopy Core Facility in Turku 🇫🇮. If you love imaging 🔬 and helping scientists succeed, we want you! 👇 abo.rekrytointi.com/paikat/index... #Microscopy #ScienceJobs #CoreFacility #Imaging @turkubioscience.bsky.social

Mechanobiologists - cool virtual seminar tomorrow!

Microscopy Bat signal! I want to compile a list of biological samples that demonstrate microscope capabilities, including the reagents to generate them. Please send me anything you know of!! Beads are great for QC, but there's a different teaching benefit with biology. 1/n

I had so much fun at the AQLM info session yesterday. Talking about @mblscience.bsky.social and @aqlm.bsky.social got me excited! Here are photos I shared of Shinya Inoué whose founding vision of a course joining technological innovation and biological discovery remains a driving principle of AQLM.

Today! Info session for the Analytical and Quantitative Light Microscope course at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole MA. 2:30 EST registration link below 🔬

Are you microscopy-curious? Or already obsessed? We are hosting a zoom info session for AQLM on Monday Jan 12 (info below). Come ask me anything! @mblscience.bsky.social

Did you RESOLVE to FOCUS on microscopy in 2026? Join us at the Marine Biological Lab @mblscience.bsky.social this spring for Analytical and Quantitative Light Microscopy. Application Deadline Jan 30 Apply Here: www.mbl.edu/education/ad...

Are you microscopy-curious? Or already obsessed? We are hosting a zoom info session for AQLM on Monday Jan 12 (info below). Come ask me anything! @mblscience.bsky.social

Is improving your microscopy skills one of your 2026 resolutions? Should it be? Apply to an excellent course that will get you up to (light) speed! Analytical and Quantitative Light Microscopy at the MBL is accepting applications. @mblscience.bsky.social @aqlm.bsky.social

Excellent opportunity to work on cutting edge cell imaging in a seriously great lab! 🔬

Day 7 of AQLM is #light sheet day! New AQLM faculty but former AQLM student, Dr. Reto Fiolka @retof.bsky.social will educate us on the vast landscape of #optical techniques used to generate a light sheet and why they are all useful. Apply now to join us! bit.ly/49YQl7q

Mechanobiologists mark your calendars for 2026!

I guess the intersection of microscopists and those of us with elementary kids living with a chorus of 6-7s was smaller than I thought.

If TIRF is to “2D” for you, that’s ok - we do 3D too (and 4D and 5D and why not 6-7D…) @aqlm.bsky.social

Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence is THE BEST

More fun stuff you can learn at @aqlm.bsky.social ! Halo dyes are so versatile, come learn labeling and live cell imaging from Mattheyses Lab alum (and first PhD student graduated from the lab) Emily! 🔬

I'm at #CellBio2025 if anyone has questions!!

Can I Fourier transform myself back to the weekend @knerlab.bsky.social?

On the second day of AQLM, we also have Dr. Steve Ross of #Nikon Instruments who gives us an inside look at #optics, objective #lenses, and #image aberrations. You've (hopefully) never seen an objective like this before! Apply now to join us April 29th-May 8th 2026. bit.ly/49YQl7q #microscopy

Next on the 2026 roster is Dr. Peter Kner, @knerlab.bsky.social. He lectures on wave #optics, #diffraction, and #contrast generation in imaging. This Physics 101 gets everyone on the same #wavelength, even if your background is all biology. Apply now to join us! bit.ly/49YQl7q #microscopy

That's me! Want to be the proud builder of a microscope? What a fun way to learn about conjugate planes and what your aperture stop is really doing. Apply to AQLM! @mblscience.bsky.social

We are excited for our next talk in the Forces at Play: Molecular Mechanobiology Seminar Series with Dr. Bianxiao Cui from Stanford University on Thursday, November 13th at 12pm EST on Zoom. Please see the flyer for more information. We hope to see you all virtually!

🔬We are now accepting applications for the 2026 Analytical and Quantitative Light Microscopy course at MBL. Come learn to be an excellent microscopist! Questions? Ask here or DM me. @mblscience.bsky.social @aqlm.bsky.social #microscopy #fluorescence

Happening this Thursday, see you all there!

Mechanobiology friends, join us for the next talk in the "forces at play" seminar series Sept. 18

Check out our latest led by desmo-team Collin and Krishna who did lots and lots of dSTORM imaging to understand how different DP isoforms are arranged in our favorite cell-cell junctions 🔬

Mechanobiology friends, join us for the next talk in the "forces at play" seminar series Sept. 18

New seminar happening this Thursday at 12pm EST on Zoom with Dr. Xuefeng Wang from the University of Cincinnati. Hope to see you all there!

We've extended the deadline to May 21st - you now have 1 WEEK LEFT to come hang out with us in Boston and learn to think like bioimage analysts. We'll have a lot of fun!

Have you ever seen the black box that is the inside of a microscope objective? Today Dr. Stephen Ross of Nikon gave a fascinating lecture on what goes into the design and manufacturing of an objective.
