Romania has elected Nicusor Dan for president, he has a phd in math, and he won the math olympiad twice with the maximum score. If you want to try your luck, download the 1987 and 1988 problem sets here: www.imo-official.org/problems.aspx Pretty tough stuff😳.

Spatially variant deconvolution by Amit Kohli et al: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Can be used advantageously with light sheet fluorescence microscopy.

Just saw a MV-22 tilt rotor zooming over our neighborhood. Amazingly quiet in “airplane mode”. Still hope to see one doing the full transition. cc @bwjones.bsky.social

At my annual physical, I requested an MMR IgG titer and I’m still immune against measles. Never thought this would ever be necessary to check, but here we are😞.

A Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane just flew low over our house. Awesome sight and noise. It had no payload, not sure who operates those in North TX. cc @bwjones.bsky.social

Excellent opportunity for a #postdoc to join Kate McDole’s group in @cellbiol-mrclmb.bsky.social, where you’ll get to investigate how cells form tissue during early organogenesis in developing mice. More details: mrc.tal.net/vx/lang-en-G... #Postdocjobs #ScienceJobs

Study section while having a stomach bug, no sleep (due to involuntary nutrient ejection) and no coffee is brutal. I almost passed out on the first day. However, glad that we have them again. I championed the proposals I had on my slate strongly.

#FluorescenceFriday Focal adhesions (paxilin mCherry) in an U2OS cell, as imaged by TIRF, and microtubules (SiR) as imaged in 3D by oblique plane microscopy. Happy how the microtubules look, given that they are imaged quite far red.

Our manuscript on accelerating the acquisition rate in oblique plane microscopy (OPM) is online now: opg.optica.org/boe/fulltext... Our work addresses the issue that an OPM PSF is tilted, and as such it leaves a lot of "empty space" in Fourier space (FFT of experimental data on the right)... 1/n
