🌈 Luke Lavis (@rhodamine110) & his team have become known for their vibrant fluorescent dyes, each one brighter than the next. Now, he, @jonathangrimm, & collaborators have released a comprehensive collection of rhodamine-based dyes: https://t.co/XNP8m6WIQo

Congratulations to @YouBeQuitin and @EikonTX ! All projects lead to ubiquitin (and VCP) 😀

(1/3) Our preprint on PFA fixation enhancing and diminishing LLPS appearance in living cells is now published! Many thanks to @TjianDarzacq lab for insightful comments and editors and reviewers @eLife for important constructive suggestions. https://t.co/nQVvaTk5xC

Spherical aberration: It's insidious, nearly ubiquitous and generally annoying AF. Is spherical aberration affecting your microscopy data? And if so, what can you do about it? Check out my latest Microcourse: https://t.co/uwNkvUEa9b

There are 3 weeks left to prepare and submit your @AICjanelia proposal! Don't hesitate to reach out to us for a technical consultation before submitting.

I'm excited to share our ongoing work describing the dessert diversity at the canteen @institutpasteur ! 🧁

This study included extensive sampling of 102 independent samples over 3 years. Here's a 🧵 of our key findings. 1/7

@EsbinMeagan @EikonTX @Kayley_Hake @calico So happy to have you visit to talk about some of the science and history of Eikon! Such a cool program.

[David McSwiggen @dmcswiggen1]

@EHartenian @EMBO @broz_lab @DIB_UNIL @brittaspen @berkeleyMCB Congrats, Ella! This is wonderful news!

[David McSwiggen @dmcswiggen1]

@MustafaMir16 Thanks for sharing you memories of Gabi. He seems like an amazing scientist, mentor, and friend.

I'm hiring another microscopist to join my team at Eikon! https://t.co/Zwx8fRTiLI.
This is a great opportunity for early-career folks with an imaging background to use those skills toward discovering new drugs and do some cool science.

@DavidWSanders2 @YSPTSPS @AUnderhillUA Having had a few years of space to think, I still stand by this review. Some great new work has come out of the highest caliber, but there's also still a lot of me-too-ism. I really appreciate the critical discussion @YSPTSPS. It's honestly the best part of science.

@realarikshams Back to ask Jeeves then?

Excited to share the preprint of my main project in the Baker lab! While C-sections make up 30% of US deliveries and often lead to subsequent pregnancy disorders like placenta previa, placenta accreta, and infertility, we lack mechanistic insight. 1/n https://t.co/pj1s9ix3vz

@realarikshams Not *exactly* fantasy, but have you ready any of the Diskworld novels by Terry Pratchett? They're wonderful. Truly some of my favorite books out there.

@CRISPR_LuCas Do you take every publication on blind faith and start your clinical trial with the first oligo from the first target that your bioinformatics pipeline spits out? If not, you're probably engaging in Discovery and Lead Op...

[Janice Chen @janiceschen]

YES!!!!!! 😭😭😭

[David McSwiggen @dmcswiggen1]

Inspiring keynote talk from @CarolynBertozzi at SLAS2022 to reinforce the importance of glycobiology in cancer therapeutics! What a great start. Excited to be here with the @EikonTX team to talk lab automation and innovation.

[David McSwiggen @dmcswiggen1]

@Nichols_NTA @ldtimmerman's The Long Run is excellent
