Great to finally have our paper published! There's a lot in there new opsin ST-ChroME, fixed opsin IRES-ST-GtACR1, and a brand new holographic setup. Thanks to Co-Authors @NicoPegard @mardinly! https://t.co/jpjE0KVjlt

@kekitko @Cairn_GRog That's really awesome.

One of my favorite parts of my work with @photometrics is meeting amazing people and seeing incredible microscopy. I just wish I could tell you all more about it! So instead i'll show you a cool bit of natural light play from a recent trip.

@RheeMor Agreed

@ebethsypek First, I was like wow that's really interesting. Then I remembered those are people. I hope the next ten years of this gif are better.

The Galton Machine shows order from randomness. Each ball bounces left or right at random, 12 times, but together where they fall can be predicted - the normal distribution. This one made by: https://t.co/oI9wOGq7nG

@ebethsypek Harsh pruning occurs there I've heard, and potent desensitization.

There's a student in the lab who is having their biocytin filled cells disappear after a 1-2 days. They are fulled developed and brown, but after a few days they absolutely disappear. Anyone got any ideas on what would cause this? They are kept dark @OptoQuestion @MadScientistPhD

[OptoQuestion @OptoQuestion]

@MadScientistPhD @NeuroBill @Helena_LB I'm wondering if it's just diffusing away if its not treated in resin after. It's not bound to anything even if it isn't soluble.

[OptoQuestion @OptoQuestion]

@NeuroBill @MadScientistPhD Hmmmm. I've never seen that myself. I would always recommend nickel and even light osmium. Are you putting them in resin after or some other medium for mounting?

[OptoQuestion @OptoQuestion]

@HappyStemCell Oh heck. You meant you survive as a human? Never mind.

@HappyStemCell How to get brains out of skulls in less than a minute. Nuff said.
