One of the reasons I love #DevelopmentalBiology is that it's so visually engaging. I had the pleasure of organising an image competition at the GRC last March, and share this passion. You can now check out these images on @the-node.bsky.social: thenode.biologists.com/grs-developm...

Another academic year is past and this weekend we said goodbye to the latest set of graduates from UNC Biology. Teaching here is a privilege and seeing so many students excel & getting to know many of them is a yearly highlight. Biology holds its own ceremony, allowing us to honor them by name 1/n

The Analytical and Quantitative Light Microscopy (AQLM) course has come to a close. For two weeks, researchers examined the theory of image formation and the subtle interactions between light and a specimen. Learn more about this and other courses here! bit.ly/3GMpPSn

My #FlyWeek contribution: The Variety of Testis Shapes in Pomace Fly Species Aren't they beatiful?🌈🪰🔬 An old-school sci-poster meets modern confocal imaging! #Drosophila testis diversity fascinated even Curt Stern (yes, the human genetics textbook guy!) back in the 1930s. #microscopy #insects

Thrilled to see our work now online @nature.com This study reveals how individual root cells sense and respond to real, compacted soil environments. www.nature.com/articles/s41... beautiful spatial transcritomics of rice root in gel & soil conditions and huge credit to Mingyuan and colleagues.

Watching fission yeast divide is cool🦠. But showing it with a kymograph? Even cooler 😎, shows it all—mitosis, cell wall—packed into spatiotemporal magic🪄. Flattening time into 2D just makes it easier to understand. #FluorescenceFriday @pasteur.fr @pasteuredu.bsky.social #Microscopy #Microbiology🔬
