📣 Call for papers: "Taking the Stage: The Future of Microscopy" The Journal has launched an open call for papers for an exciting new special issue which will feature submissions by Early Career Researchers. The issue will be guest edited by Katherine Paine, Myfanwy Adams and Colum O'Leary.

In 1952, the very first #ESCCongress was held, launching a journey that became the world’s biggest cardiology meeting. 💂 Can you guess where it all began? 👉 bit.ly/4fOM9YS #ESC75Years #Cardiology

A great video and a rising star - very proud of my daughter! Pls vote for her!!

What a fantastic achievement!

📣 The Journal has published a special issue, honouring the career of Professor Paul Walther and his legacy in the field of electron microscopy. In March 2024, after 46 years, he retired from Ulm University, Germany, where he led the Central Facility for Electron Microscopy.

Our protocol for gene editing is online and all plasmids are on @addgene.bsky.social! CRISPR away everybody and get in touch if you need anything 🤩

Oh Lordy. It's true. GPT-5 really is that bad. This is quite spectacular. PMs of the UK since the first world war. PhD level indeed. **shrug**

#Science Bluesky, do your thing: We're organising the International Symposium on Mechanobiology (ISMB) 2026 in #Glasgow & we're looking for research groups in Latin America & Africa who are doing great work in #Mechanobiology or adjacent areas. Can you indicate some names to me?

This is going to be a great meeting!

Do you have a nice microscopy paper? Pick our journal - the journal of the royal microscopical society!

Reposting as I hear about a German Pubmed-like initiative: let's build on Europe PMC which is already great

Absolutely true - our society journal is also suffering, so less money to support our community. Its a shame. Support your society journals!!

🚨New pre-print out now!🚨 We 3D printed a large optical element that enhanced the illumination, contrast & image quality in transmission stereomicroscopy. This simple addition to the illumination path lets us detect refractive structures & dynamics unobserved by conventional stereomicroscopy. (1/5)

Calling all those people with great images!

Why not nominate one of your excellent colleagues!

I don't think I posted about this yet. COME WORK WITH US AT NATURE METHODS! This is a rare opportunity, and we can't wait for our new colleague. Feel free to contact me with questions.

Did you know that Bioimage Archive has a specific database for people to share AI-ready imaging datasets? I did not until @yanlanmao.bsky.social told me! Please deposit! If people regularly submitted, it would have a huge collective impact on bioimage analysis. www.ebi.ac.uk/bioimage-arc...

In a deviation from our previous updates, our automatic parameter-free deconvolution code is now slightly _slower_ than before (~4.5 %), but more robust for low SNR data. Standard: beryl.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/rlgc_notebook/ Biggs-Andrews accelerated: beryl.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/rlgc_notebook/

This session has been one of the best attended and most scientifically diverse at previous mmc events - promote your most exciting, hot-out-of-the-lab results by submitting an abstract today! @royalmicrosoc.bsky.social @rmsearlycareer.bsky.social

A great opportunity!

“The Chancellor sparked anger when she revealed that govt wants to enable young people from Europe and UK to work and travel overseas” FFS. What ‘Brexit freedom’ exactly is being betrayed here? The freedom to NOT be free to work and travel overseas? One of the stupidest front pages I’ve ever seen.
