Our openSPIM is officially up and running to image the latest catch of the day! Fueled by pymmcore-plus & pymmcore-gui! 💪⚡🔬 pymmcore-plus.github.io/pymmcore-plus/ github.com/pymmcore-plu...

Closing our Barcelona lab is bittersweet. These seven years were amazing—thanks to EMBL Barcelona and the fantastic lab members/collaborators, I launched my dream projects of Synthetic Dev Bio and Stem Cell Zoo. Now, we’re taking them to PoL Dresden!

as the new #FlyBoard president, i wanted to find out more about why people love flies! last week at the San Diego Drosophila Conference, i received testimonials from about 50 researchers on their favorite thing fly. im thinking how to use, not sure yet, but ill reach out to you for permission... 🪰

We are seeking a new colleague to join us at the Vienna BioCenter, specifically at my beloved home institution, IMBA @imbavienna.bsky.social we value collegiality and a passion for curiosity driven science. Being a great and fun human being also helps!

Fundamental Research at its best: Full connectome of a visual system. As often #FirstInFly

The #gitbob paper has been published in @natcomputsci.bsky.social.🥳 Learn about the path "Towards transparency and knowledge exchange in AI-assisted data analysis code generation" facilitating how humans and AI can work together to solve #dataanalysis tasks. 💽🧑‍🎓🖥️🏗️ rdcu.be/efkna

@embldbunit.bsky.social Our Developmental Biology Unit @embl.org has a Bluesky account ! Hit follow for updates on what we do to explore the complexity of living systems :) #devbio

#theconferencetoendallconferences Wonderful news for all ursophobic participants of the Woodstock of Biology meeting. Bohemia remains bear-free country since November 14, 1856.

First half of #MtLemmon. This is a very long climb and we started late. The heat at the bottom drained everything out of me. The second half of this half was pure suffering, will and survival. I will try to finish the job tomorrow. It’s beautiful

We continue working on the plans for the "Woodstock of Bioloy 2 & Night science in Prague" meeting and if you don't sign up you're totally crazy. A once in a life time opportunity and it'll be sold out soon. Go to the website and sign up now before it's too late!

Equipped for #Lemon

We got castles!

tips & tricks #theconferencetoendallconferences Say you are into castles & chateaux and arrive earlier or have nothing to do on 13th. The obvious one is the Prague Castle (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prague_...). It's beautiful but expect tons of tourists. Especially if you want to see the Golden Lane.

Saying goodbye to San Diego and the #flymeeting. It was an honour to present for such a huge audience full of experts on #flystuffthatmatters and meeting old and new friends. Now onto a different adventure - Mt. Lemon, Tucson Arizona. 🚴‍♀️💪🤠

Everybody is busy preparing the last presentation and exam before the drinks that will conclude the course. I cannot resist sharing pictures of people doing microscopy, in the hope it will 1/ brighten your timeline 2/ convince you to do microscopy 3/ attend the next course 👇

Pavel Tomancak asks everyone who uses FIJI in the crowd to stand ... and dammit, 90% of the crowd stood. What a testament to the power of such tools. #DROS25

Great talk this morning by @paveltomancak.bsky.social at #Dros25 . So much great science!

Eric Lai rocking the fly meeting with his #jasperrine band. That’s the new President of the flyboard. A President America can be proud of! 🤘

Excellent set of guidelines for anyone developing software for life scientists, from @jwpylvanainen.bsky.social, @lankylaste.bsky.social and @guijacquemet.bsky.social journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

Awwww yeah, check this out: snowflake yeast making their cover debut! www.nature.com/nature/volum... We have two papers in this issue: 1) A paper examining whole genome duplication in the MuLTEE 2) A review of long-term experiments in evolutionary biology led by @jameststroud.bsky.social 🧪

Don't miss the one and only #EricLai

Today’s Sip of Science is all about microscopy! Incredible talks by the talented folks from CELLIM — so inspiring to see what’s possible under the microscope. Amazing stuff! #Science #Microscopy #CELLIM #SipOfScience

At this year’s AMPER fair, the research team led by Petr Neugebauer from CEITEC @vut.cz are presenting the revolutionary FRASCAN II spectrometer, an electron spin resonance spectrometer with a frequency of 329 GHz.The instrument was awarded it the prestigious AMPER Gold Award 🏆 Read more - below.

Another great TED-style talk at @ceitec.eu Masaryk University! Our "Sip of Science" lectures not only show what goes on in the labs but also teach junior scientists how to talk about science to a diverse audience. Toay's hands-on experience by Jakub from Cellular Imaging lab (CELLIM) was top!

Identifying functional motifs in disordered regions is challenging. We gave it a try. Check out SHARK-capture, an alignment-free method to detect SLiMs. Congrats Chi Fung Willis Chow @swlenz.bsky.social et al. @mpi-cbg.de @csbdresden.bsky.social @poldresden.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/pro....

I will have to say it. Compared to the good old #sciTwitter - a dog died here. #grumpyoldman. Lonely.

We’ll open two new departments in Heilbronn! The Dieter Schwarz Foundation provides funding for an initiative by our institute aiming to translate basic research into applications. MPG president P. Cramer & DSS CEO R. Geilsdörfer just signed the contracts. 📷: Nico Kurth www.mr.mpg.de/14641433/new...

random request: does anyone in san diego have a mini-hdmi to usb-c cable i could borrow? or, have a video projector i could connect to a laptop? please forward to any SD peeps!

Well. Nice. #SanDiego. Calm, before the #Drosophila storm. Nursing a jet lag with a decent IPA. Expensive though…

A most unusual Berlin weekend... Award ceremony @einsteinberlin.bsky.social price - for data visualization of scientific images 🧪 📊 with @jamessaenz.bsky.social 📷 S.Gabsch
