Congrats to all the #AQLM2026 participants, especially our very own Isabella Silveltri, for finishing this amazing course! I highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning more about microscopy - these MBL courses are life changing!

The Cimini lab is hiring for both postdocs and interns! The postdoc role will cover bioimage analysis projects and educational material creation; the intern will be working on our Bilayers project for helping distribute and access deep learning tools for bioimage analysis.

A reminder that the registration deadline for the Signaling by Adhesion Receptors GRC is May 10, just a few days from now. Hope to see you there, and please pass along to anyone you think would be interested. www.grc.org/signaling-by...

Hydrozoa from Eel Pond @mblwoodshole imaged in dark field on an @evidentmicroscopy upright #microscope (cool to be able to tile and stitched on the go with a manual stage). These cuties are related to jellyfish, sea anemones and corals. 📸 Photo and caption credit: Nat Prunet @microscopic_farmer

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.

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! 🔬
