The hangover you can’t sleep off? A lower starting salary.

University life is an incredible journey – a time of immense learning, growth, new friendships, and yes, a fair bit of navigating newfound freedoms and pressures. It’s a period where you are …

I am pleased to share a link to the latest paper from the Cook lab. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... The DYRK protein kinases, near neighbours to the MAPKs in the CMGC arm of the human kinome, control critical cell fate decisions and are deregulated in disease, much like the MAPKs and CDKs.

Confused about Fisher Information and optimisation of Fluorescence Microscopy, #FLIM specifically? I have just completed a tutorial for you hilight-horizon.github.io/HILIGTHer_FL... @hilighthorizon.bsky.social

How many photons do you need to measure a fluorescence lifetime? We are proud to release HILIGTHer, a #FLIM #DigitalTwin designed to simulate most features of time-domain FLIM systems, just announced at #FOM2026 and incredibly well-received. Beta release now available: github.com/HiLIGHT-HORI...

What is Focus on Microscopy for me? A scientific family, friends and amazing innovation. We often see, even 10 years in advance, the techniques that will eventually disrupt biology, biomedical research, and healthcare. Industry and academia, together. #FOM2026 #Microscopy #HILIGHT

We’re open! Today’s your chance to get hands on with world-leading science 🔬 🧪⚙️🌱🔋 #CamFest

After four months of happy usage of Google Antigravity with Gemini, sadly, #Gemini became unusable. It was an opportunity to explore #CODEX after a while and discover how CODEX (GPT5.4) is extraordinarily good and fast. Preparing two major releases of software for #FLIM :)
