Big News! 🚀 #BioMedEng25 is coming to Glasgow in September 2025! ✨ Join leading biomedical engineers, researchers, and innovators as we explore the future of healthcare technology, medtech, and bioengineering. 🧬💡 📍 Hosted by the Universities of Strathclyde & Glasgow 📅 4 & 5 September 2025

Science, discussions, and interviews with researchers at the Centre for Cellular Microenvironment, University of Glasgow! 🎙️. #SciencePodcast #TissueEngineering #Academia

Hari Shroff's new paper demonstrates the use of deep learning to correct aberrations when imaging deeper into volumes, eliminating the need for adaptive optics. Looking forward to exploring its potential. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A lovely gathering indeed 🙂

Someone should make a version in POLAR coordinates. 🐻‍❄️

Midday in December, Glasgow, where the sun stays low, casting long shadows in the northern winter light.

Nothing says prestigious invitation like "Prof. Insert Name Here".

I just realized that's a cA(O)T(F). Ok, terrible joke, I’ll see myself out. Grounded.

Last lecture of the bio-imaging course this week, all about light sheet microscopy. I wonder if the students will mind if it accidentally becomes a 10-hour session.

🚀 Stabilise your OPM for long-term image acquisition! It was great to have the opportunity to be a part of this! Great work led by Duc Trung Nguyen and @retof.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We have 4 fully funded #PhD positions available in York! Interested in single molecule biophysics, structural biology, biochemistry and/or physical chemistry? Get in touch! We have state-of-the-art labs in a fun-filled city! Come join us! DM for more or check out: sites.google.com/york.ac.uk/q...

A (belated) Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

Limits on foreign students are harming research, universities warn www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Commonwealth Split-site PhD Scholarship applications are open. I’m happy to support and host students in my lab. Our interests: Smart Microscopy, Cell Engineering, Bio-image Analysis, Organs-On-Chip. Learn about our work: dicaprio.bioe.strath.ac.uk Details: cscuk.fcdo.gov.uk/scholarships...

PSFs are just Gaussians, right?? Not when your fluorophore💡is close to a nanoparticle 🟠! Excited to share our recent ACS Nano paper 🥳 in which we present a novel PSF-fitting approach for localization microscopy near nanoparticles. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.... Main findings below in🧵[1/10]

Thinking about applying to the NWB programme? Join the online drop-in session on Tuesday, 11th December, 11am-12pm! Sign up here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1095142052...

Me: "A friend is visiting this weekend." Glasgow weather: "Say no more."

We are delighted to announce the Strathclyde Optical Microscopy Course 2025 (SOMC25), taking place in Glasgow from 23rd July – 1st August 2025. No previous experience in microscopy necessary! Please find more details at shorturl.at/98lXJ, deadline 17 January 2025.

Spent the entire day wrestling with the draft for this solo grant, feeling like a true academic, and now it's time to tackle the bibliography. Nothing says 'genius at work' like frantically formatting citations.

A person on a bicycle is by far the most energy-efficient among animals and machines per distance traveled relative to body weight. The bicycle is magic. www.jstor.org/stable/24923...

Thrilled to announce that our latest work has been published in Science and featured on the front cover! www.linkedin.com/posts/scienc...

20 books that have had an impact on who you are (or mean a lot to you). One book a day for 20 days. No explanations, no reviews, just book covers. #20books #20Books20Days #books #reading 1/20

Glasgow decided to hit snooze under a blanket of snow this Saturday. Guess I’m doing the same. #SnowWayToStartTheDay

There are articles about the #science migration now! 😄 That makes it official ❤🦋 #Xodus #eXit #nature #bluesky #bsky #sciencetwitter #sciencebsky www.nature.com/articles/d41...

ICYMI - Kedar Narayan, Jason Rodgers, and I sat down with Peter O'Toole for a Very Special Episode of The Microscopists on our experiences with mental health issues and how it affects our life and our science. Was a lovely time with great folks! themicroscopists.bitesizebio.com/episodes/the...

Join Strathclyde’s Dept. of Biomedical Engineering as a Chancellor’s Fellow! 5-year post with accelerated promotion, research focus, mentoring & reduced teaching. I work here, it’s a fantastic place to innovate and grow your career! Deadline: 05/01/25 strathvacancies.engageats.co.uk/Vacancies/W/...

Every. Single. Word.

Exciting new work from the Brugge Lab @harvardcellbio.bsky.social reveals that luminal breast epithelial cells of BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers and noncarriers harbor common breast cancer copy number alterations. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The Education and Training in #Optics & #Photonics (ETOP) Conference is coming to Glasgow! All shares appreciated for #2025ETOPGlasgow 🤝 🛜 www.etop-conference.org IEEE Photonics Society ~ @spie.org ~ @optica.bsky.social 🧵1/3
