If you ever used napari in your research, take a moment to read this. Napari, like many other resources in the bioimaging world, is freely available despite the fact that it costs many people much time and efforts to develop and maintain it. Now you get a chance to give back, don't miss it :)

A new, nerdy paper. We figured out (some) of the rules underlying cell-permeability of probes and designed ligands that light up, grab, and move proteins around. Awesome @hhmijanelia.bsky.social x @uwmadison.bsky.social x @stjuderesearch.bsky.social collaboration! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

A fantastic achievement
