Spatial information matters. Go see your local microscopist.

Get maximum comparability between the strains in your infections - simply mix them all together and use the mix to infect your model! Or why not many of the same genotype? 🤯 @dimartino_ml and @SellinLab tells you how in this methods paper:

Want to level up your bacterial host cell binding/invasion assays? Our #BarcodedInfection protocol uses genetically tagged bacterial strains for precise infections of cultured host cells and in vivo animal models. In the new MiMB Bacterial Pathogenesis: https://t.co/ZJr8gduFvA

Long ago I ordered a print of a pixelated version of a Salmonella bacterium from https://t.co/U0WiGasUgz, who printed it with live fluorescent E. coli. Just sent me pictures of the result - pretty cool! 😍

[Joachim Goedhart @joachimgoedhart]

Finally out: mScarlet3
A brilliant and fast-maturing red fluorescent protein.
Congrats to the teams of Dorus Gadella and Antoine Royant!

@kdegelas @10xGenomics Thanks! Had a very warm welcome so far!

[Viktor Ek @forskarviktor]

Today I started my new job at @10xGenomics, where I will support the Swedish R&D microscopy core! 💪 Exciting times! 🔬

[Viktor Ek @forskarviktor]

@GiuliettaPilia @10xGenomics Thanks a lot! 😁 Going to be fun!

[Viktor Ek @forskarviktor]

Want to do an exciting post-doc in host-pathogen interactions, using great microscopes and bleeding-edge host models? Apply! Fantastic group and supervision = fertile soil for you to grow. 🌱

[Sellin Lab @SellinLab]

Opportunity!: Fully funded #postdoc position open in our lab. We seek a candidate to combine live cell imaging with enteroid/colonoid models of gut bacterial infection. Sample papers & movies below.

RT appreciated. Apply through link until April 5th.

@WaelSKamel @SellinLab @UU_University @scilifelab It is! Thanks! 👍

[Viktor Ek @forskarviktor]

Yesterday was my last day at the @SellinLab at @UU_University. Going to miss this place. Today enjoying the first of a few days off before a move and then onto my next adventure! #bittersweet

[Viktor Ek @forskarviktor]

@TanelPunga @SellinLab @UU_University @scilifelab You too Tanel!

[Viktor Ek @forskarviktor]

@SellinLab @UU_University @scilifelab Will do!
