Today is my first day back @EdinburghUni! I’ll miss amazing colleagues & friends @LydiaBeckerIII, but can’t wait to reconnect with the brilliant Edinburgh & @EdinUni_IIIR community - exciting times ahead!

Also, I’m stopping Twitter for a while, maybe for good. #FindMeOnBlueSky

For obvious reasons, thinking about shutting this account down...sad about that, as I love the #immunology community here, but it's getting harder & harder to avoid the toxic white noise. Please, move to the sky blue place. Not enough immunologists on there yet...#Findmeonbluesky

What if we could map every cell in the body, revealing its location and molecular identity? In this @NatureMethods perspective, we discuss the new era of 3D-omics by tissue clearing and AI, called Deep 3D Histology: https://t.co/iXRJ5GrpV3 PDF: https://t.co/fiR3wBonDe 🧵👇🏼
