Hey y’all 👋 I need a little repost magic. 🔥
The Solecki lab is recruiting MULTIPLE postdocs for a chromatin imaging project at St. Jude.
This work sits at the intersection of live-cell imaging, neuronal cell biology, chromatin regulation, and quantitative image analysis — and the eye-popping video below shows exactly why it’s so exciting.
This may be for you if you are:
• A neurobiologist who wants to become DANGEROUS in cell biology 🧠
• A chromatin biologist who wants to ditch endpoint molecular biology and actually watch nuclear states unfold in living cells 🧬
• An imaging scientist or biophysicist who wants to get messy in real cells, not idealized samples 🔬
A quantitative mindset is required. Prior experience in every area is not.
If you ever imagined touring the nucleus like nuclear render and our Pol II biosensor below… reach out because WE can do it.
Tag a scientist who needs to see this + RT to help us find them! 🚀 Let’s make chromatin biology history.
Most of what we “see” in 3D #microscopy is wrong. But a new preprint from the lab driven by Anna Pittman comes to the rescue.
Hard truth: humans are bad at seeing 3D on screens. We collapse volumes, look at image slices and pretend it’s enough. But, a model can interrogate the full 3D structure. Rather than work with black box , Anna rebuilt a classic (bag-of-visual-words) for 3D: with decisions you can actually understand. A huge win for interpretability and we use that power to dissect neuronal chromatin organization 🚀
She’s on the data scientist job market! Don’t miss her! Let's get some reposts to get her some exposure.
@EricTopol Cycling is fascinating. I bet you get the initial dip from casual cyclists getting exercise on bike paths, then vehicle fatalities offset the fitness gains as people train on the road more, then it decreases again for elite athletes who have protected training routes.
Had an amazing time @GCXEvent! To everyone raising money for the mission of @StJude please know how valued every last one of you are. Every dime goes towards unrelenting progress against catastrophic pediatric disease.
1/ Better late than never, here’s a long thread of threads summarizing our MOSAIC preprint.
If you’re curious about the process by which a new microscope is conceived and brought into the world, this is the thread for you. If you’ve come for eye candy, there’s plenty of that too below.

Finally here! Our preprint on the MOSAIC, a multimodal adaptive optical microscope enabling non‑invasive in‑vivo imaging from molecules to organisms, is out.

The MOSAIC reconfigurable microscope by @Eric_Betzig et al is finally out!
MOSAIC integrates multiple advanced imaging techniques including light-sheet, label-free, super-resolution, and multi-photon, all equipped with adaptive optics:
