Great to have Lucian Duvenage from @mrccmm.bsky.social CapeTown ✈️ to do MYCOscopy w/ @balloulab.bsky.social in Emergomyces Africanus - an emerging fungal pathogen yeast that needs more Mycology bioimaging tools. Here are some Macropahges brimming with them (green yeast)

Is the new Lightfield from Zeiss, applicable to volumetric tissue imaging? or is the step sizes more akin to cell biology?

I think Trump’s time in the WWE has affected his World view… he has literally flipped the script from USA as an ally and friend to the “heel” - the villain role taken on in the late careers of many wrestlers including Hulk Hogan and McMahon himself - Trump is literally a caricature of McMahon.

Mammalian systems, how stable are #fluorescent protein fusions in living mammalian cells? It used to be that transfection of epithelial cells were ~20% successfull in a monolayer of cells, which to me was unacceptable. Has this changed?

1-2μm/°C is a good 'rule of thumb' for the axial shift of the focal plane of an objective with temperature, or ~1-2 depths of field (DOF) at high numerical aperture. -> Here's a typical lab trace with a swing of 1-2°C over 1-2h. This is ~1-4 DOF of drift per hour! So continuous autofocus is needed!
