Fascinated by astrocytes, neurons, and the cerebellum. Running a 2P microscopy lab at Marquette. Opinions are my own! Iaroslav 'Alex' Savtchouk, PhD. 🐁🧠🔬

A new #ScienceReview looks at both the advances in technology for large-scale neural activity recording over the past decade and recent developments in analytic tools and approaches to make sense of the resulting complex, high-dimensional data.

Congrats to my friend and colleague Guosong Hong for his stunning and original discovery, published today in Science, on clearing tissues *in living animals* with a common food dye!

The dye is tartrazine, used in Doritos!

We discovered a surprisingly easy way to control the brightness of fluorescent proteins via magnetic fields:

This raises fascinating scientific questions about the mechanism, and tantalizing technological opportunities for bioengineering.

@KelsBenton Try PDFtk: https://t.co/vc2Ht4j9st
On Linux (or Windows with WSL) you already have these installed, most likely. Just use the commands:
convert input.pdf[0-8] input.pdf[10-25] outputfile.pdf
pdftk input.pdf cat 1-9 9-end output outputfile.pdf

@ScottAdamsSays @Elemental_LA_OC Once the mutants overcome Spike-specific immunity, all of their progeny will be also somewhat resistant, and generate more mutants that may become even more resistant, and so on.

@ScottAdamsSays @Elemental_LA_OC ...stopping any virus with a very specific shape of the Spike protein. Any mutations that change the shape/look of Spike will therefore have a better chance than a native virus. So, a vaccine changes the playing rules and makes mutants more favorable.

@TrackingActions @neurobongo "Dr." is missing: it should have been something like Frau[Herr] Prof. Dr. Mathis.

Prior to 2008, German-speaking administrators would omit "Dr." for "lesser" doctorates, including USA-awarded PhDs😁, IIRC.

But in French 🇨🇭, "Madame," is as respectful as "Madame le Professeur"

@mickeykats Yes, please! Would absolutely love to read your article on this topic!

[I. Alex Savtchouk @IA_Savtchouk]

@mickeykats This should by definition involve either a wavelength-tunable source or a tunable detector.
Given my (very limited) understanding of what you do, it probably involves you explaining a novel way to tune a nanoparticle or nano-hole to a particular wavelength?
