This promises to be awesome!

Would you want to join us to drive a project to correlate X-ray tomography with spatial transcriptomics? Are you passionate about details, love bench work have a PhD in an area of biology that fits tissue work, molecular biology and imaging? Apply here: embl.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/EMBL/d...

Please welcome our official #mesoSPIM channel on this platform, @mesospim.bsky.social. Repost is appreciated!

We are looking for our next cohort of #FocalPlaneCorrespondents! If you are interested in getting some #scicomm experience alongside your research, check out our call and drop us an email if you have any questions. Deadline for applications: 20 January 2025

📣 #EMBLSingleMolecule is open for registrations! Our aim is to catalyse the emergence of a new generation of mechanistic models of the regulation of genes across each steps of the central dogma. 🧬🔍 👉🏼 s.embl.org/grg25-01-bl 📅 15 – 18 July 2025 📜 Submit your abstract by 8 April!

Although @ritastrack.bsky.social has publicly declared that Superresolution Optical Imaging (SOFI) is dead 🤓 I am happy to share our newest review about it rdcu.be/d52ak

Our mentor Casey Brown, apart from being an extraordinary scientist, was a brilliant teacher who loved everything genetics. In his honor, some of the world's leading experts came together to create the 'Casey Brown Lecture Series' on human genetics 1/ shorturl.at/eCm7S

🌟 Expanding Conventional Microscopy! 🔬✨ In our latest episode, we spoke with Prof. Jörg Enderlein. His group pioneered SOFI, a revolutionary technique that transforms conventional microscopy! Check out the full episode at www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2e2.... #Microscopy #Physics #Biology #Innovation

Hi, Zarr community! 👋 🚨 Big news: Zarr-Python 3.0 is dropping next week! 🚨 If your project depends on Zarr-Python, make sure to check out the migration guide to get ready for the update. Guide: https://buff.ly/3W0cLxd More updates soon! 🧑🏻‍💻

Spread this far and wide, PLEASE!

Many have asked how best to sample voxels in an OPM. Now Conor and Reto present a surprising answer...

Top 4 misconceptions about science 1. It fills knowledge-gaps (discoveries are unknown unknowns) 2. It proceeds along a straightforward path (discoveries are not predictable) 3. It looks for answers (new questions are crucial) 4. It is only rational (requires night science leaps)

Is it almost Christmas? Yes! Is that a reason to stop the @eurobioimaging.bsky.social #VirtualPub? No! We're closing the year with a big one - a @volumeem1.bsky.social special session from one of our Nodes featuring all their vEM imaging and analysis techniques.

New Year, new job? Delighted to announce two early-career-level (post-BA/BS or MA) positions in my lab, and an open call for computational postdocs at the Broad! First, an image analysis associate - work on high content screens for all kinds of cells and dimensionalities! See more at link (1/4)

EMBL’s Prevedel Group scaled down a microscope to miniature size while scaling up imaging resolution. 🔬 OCM is a portable microscope to image label-free samples, with different magnifications and within fractions of a second. Read more: www.embl.org/news/science... 🧪 @prevedel-lab.bsky.social

We are so excited that @janfunkey.bsky.social has agreed to give the keynote seminar for @qiatcshl.bsky.social 2025 @cshlnews.bsky.social! 🔬🖥️ 🛤️ Applications due 1/31/2025. t.co/x87ngy34UC

Have you ever analyzed a #microscope image before- even just a single one? Please take our survey on progress and places to still improve for image analysis software! #microscopy #imageanalysis #bioimageanalysis forum.image.sc/t/2024-image...

Relatively straightforward integration into an OPM, much better long term imaging stability.

You can now watch the I2K video tutorial on #micro-sam by @anwaiarchit.bsky.social on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxjU... Check it out for an in-depth explanation for how to use our tool to segment your microscopy images.

For many molecular biologists, #proteins are not only objects of study, but also dear friends (or enemies). Sofia Rucli from EMBL Rome talk about her relationship with the protein OGT, a molecular ‘candy man’ of the cell. 🧶 #MolBiol #SciComm @sofiarucli.bsky.social www.embl.org/news/people-...
