Pues que terminen de estudiarlo y lo hagan. Ese evento incita a conductas de claro riesgo para la salud pública, en pleno repunte del sarampión. ☹️

I agree, #ExM really changed my microscopy work…

The next @bioimagingna.bsky.social @canadabioimaging.bsky.social Nanoscopy (previously STED) User Group meeting is on 12 February from 12 pm ET. The group welcomes researchers at all levels for an open discussion on nanoscopy methods. focalplane.biologists.com/2026/02/02/b...

✨ En ce début d’année, l’équipe du pôle photonique s’est dit qu’il était temps de changer des slides et des listes d’équipements 📄❌ 👉 Résultat : un mini-film un peu décalé pour présenter nos systèmes de microscopie, d’optique et d’instrumentation 🔬 La photonique, mais en version musicale 🎶

🏆 Image of the Year 2025 226 votes, 12 Images of the Month, and a race decided by just one vote 😮 With 58 votes, @tdhellemmes.bsky.social wins for his cleared brain image acquired using light-sheet microscopy and will proudly carry the colors of the BIC 🎉🔬✨

Congratulations to Bob Asselbergh, who was named runner-up in the Autumn round of the Four Seasons of the Invisible imaging contest hosted by Euro-BioImaging! 🏆 https://www.eurobioimaging.eu/news/congratulations-to-the-winners-of-the-autumn-imaging-contest/

Are you a cell biologist who secretly thinks cellular cryo-electron tomography is just George Palade-era EM, but fancier? Join this webinar to see how modern #teamtomo has shifted from pretty pictures to quantitative, local membrane biology, and how that changes the questions we can ask.

Quentin Lebel was awarded a @jcellsci.bsky.social-FocalPlane Training Grant to attend an IMARIS course organised by @bic-bordeaux.bsky.social. Read about Quentin’s experience here: focalplane.biologists.com/2026/01/23/i... Next application deadline: 20 February. www.biologists.com/grants/jcs-f...

Our CytoTape work is published today in Nature @nature.com! CytoTape is a genetically encoded, flexible, intracellular protein tape recorder for spatiotemporally scalable and multiplexed recording of cellular activities continuously across weeks in vitro and in vivo. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

wait... what??? so cool!

#TubulinTuesday!

Breaking News: Spain issued a decree allowing hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants to apply for legal residency. The measure is bucking a trend, as many Western governments have cracked down on illegal immigration.

We are pleased to announce that the 4th Sino-French BioImaging Symposium (SFBS 2026) will be held in Bordeaux from 14 to 21 October 2026! 🔹An advanced thematic school (14-16 October 2026) 🔹A three-day international symposium (19-21 October 2026)

We have been thinking a lot recently on how to share and interact with code when doing image analysis. This is one piece of the puzzle. Awesome work driven by Bruno S. Always a delight to work with @henriqueslab.bsky.social 🫶 More to come soon 😄.

Thank you @ucdlibrary.bsky.social for sourcing this fantastice read by @steveroyle.bsky.social for me. Highly recommended for anyone interested in learning more about #cellbiology #biologicalimaging #imageanalysis #datavis also more people should read the #quantixed blog.

🚨 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

We’re hiring! @jcellsci.bsky.social is looking for a Reviews Editor to join the team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who loves #cellbiology and wants to stay connected with the field. A great chance to work for an organisation that believes in helping the community! Details below👇

🎉 Congrats to Louise Fougère, winner of the #SBCF PhD Award 2025! Her work using Arabidopsis, in Yohann Boutté’s lab (Univ. Bordeaux / CNRS) identified a novel ER–Golgi intermediate network, advancing our understanding of Golgi maturation, with key results published in Nature Cell Biology.

If you're wondering if your manuscript could be suitable for our special issue but are unsure, don't hesitate to reach out 👍

Sample prep with @jeremie-bic.bsky.social for Lemolish observation with Mathieu Ducros... stay tuned for some great images @bic-bordeaux.bsky.social !!! #flurescentfriday #clearing #lightsheet

All travelers from ESTA countries (yes the ones on visa waiver programs) will have to disclose 5 years of social media + huge amounts of personal data to enter the US now. All US academic associations should now meet outside the US if we want to meet our international colleagues.

New 3i PlantScope in the wild! Can't wait to see beautiful root and shoot tracking data from your new toy. #3iPlantScope @the.3i.social

Something for a belayed #FluorescentFriday. #actin dynamics in differentiating neuroblastoma cells. 'It's fascinating to observe the dynamics of #actin in growth cones and filopodia, even though it's merely GFP-actin. CSU-W1 SoRa Spinning disk #microscopy performed at the AMBIO facility (Charité).

Happy weekend! #fluorescentfriday

Close-up of vesicular ER exit sites by volume electron imaging using FIB-SEM. New report from Athul Nair, Tom Kirchhausen @kirchhausenlab.bsky.social and colleagues @bostonchildrens.bsky.social: rupress.org/jcb/article/... #Trafficking #Technology #ER_literature

#MembraneTraffickers! Our next online seminar is this Thursday, Nov 6 at 5 PM CEST! We’ll hear from @agatawitkowska.bsky.social on mechanical control of neurotransmission and @abdourachidthiam.bsky.social on lipid storage mechanisms in health and disease. Spread the word and join the discussion!

For our first #InsightFromImaging lab, we're exploring imaging resolution across a variety of microscopy systems. When is increased resolution really necessary? What trade-offs does it require?
