The project builds on our work over the last several years, including a wonderful microscopy training course hosted last summer in Cape Town by @uctidm-mu.bsky.social, along with @caronjacobs.bsky.social @darrenthomson.bsky.social, Lucian @clairehoving.bsky.social and @rdangarembizi.bsky.social

Benefits of having collaborators visit, whooo!

These pods look so great, need to watch!

Ep 23 - So what actually IS CellPainting anyway? You may have heard of it if you're say, a fan of the @drannecarpenter.bsky.social - @shantanu-singh.cc lab (and who isn't????), but what, you know, is it? Let @erinweisbart.bsky.social break it down for you! youtu.be/9-d6DoHtgUY

Candida albicans is usually hanging out with bacterial neighbors, so what happens to the fungus during co-culture? The bacteria secrete metabolites that induce massive cell wall remodeling that change immune recognition and drug resistance. Read more in our new paper: www.cell.com/current-biol...

Today, our animation synthesizing decades of research on actin-mediated endocytosis in budding yeast was published: journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/... The result of a fantastic Iwasa-Drubin lab collaboration. @margotriggi.bsky.social @jiwasa.bsky.social movie.biologists.com/video/10.124...

"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

We just released a new major version of TrackMate (v8), the cell and organelle tracking plugin of Fiji. It ships many new features, detailed below, but that are articulated around the following:

The FPbase spectra viewer just had it's biggest software refactor in 6 years. It *should* be largely invisible to the end user (hopefully just faster and less buggy). Please let me know if you find any issues as you use it! www.fpbase.org/spectra/

FPbase Fluorescence Spectra Viewer

An interactive fluorescence spectra viewer to evaluate the spectral properties of fluorescent proteins, organic dyes, filters, and detectors.

Wirshing, Lew et al. @mit.edu address how mothers partition growth equally among their buds in the multi-budding yeast Aureobasidium pullulans. Equal partitioning stems directly from effective equalization of #polarity sites. rupress.org/jcb/article/... #Cytoskeleton #Development

Me and the #MycBio25 cohort had a great time today. Got to see an OpenScope in the wild @uctidm-mu.bsky.social and play for a whole day on an @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social LSM980 - been 3 years since I’ve used a point scanner confocal on fungi

What’s everyone’s open source code-free 3D visualisation tool for fluorescence microscopy? #Fiji

Me and @caronjacobs.bsky.social are gearing up to deliver this workshop in a few weeks. Excited to discuss the almighty combo of pathogenic fungal cells and the fluorescence microscope!

I was 3 when we last won the Scottish Cup, the same as my boy! Hope he doesn’t have to wait another 35 yrs!

Napoli are crowned Serie A champions. Goals from Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku made sure of it on a dramatic final day They finish just one point ahead of Inter to win the fourth league title in their history.

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)

Read preprints. Cite preprints. Email people and tell them you loved their preprint. Email people you hated their preprint. Embrace preprints, preprints are good.

Anyone got experience of using Trello w/ TEAMS? Seems like a very nice integration for project tasks / progress contained within MS Office

Trying again.. any thoughts on below? #fluorescence

Darren Thomson@darrenthomson.bsky.social · last yr.

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?

Cool/weird that ITV picked this up, usually home to some trashy stuff.

Delighted to announce that @erinweisbart.bsky.social and I have teamed up to create a new bioimage analysis video podcast called Ask Erin/Dear Beth - you can check it out at the link below! It will highlight common challenges in #bioimageanalysis, as well as our favorite solutions to them. (1/x)

Ask Erin, Dear Beth

On Ask Erin/Dear Beth, bioimage analysis experts Beth Cimini and Erin Weisbart, of the Imaging Platform at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, answer your image analysis questions! Whether it’s ab...

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

so cool

Hey #scisky has anybody made the move to FBS substitutes for their research and is happy??? I soon may need a grant just to fund lab FBS 😭

Our lab has a postdoc position available to use super-resolution microscopy to understand how nanoscopic localisation of immune checkpoints dictates their function. Please get in touch if interested in applying. www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai... #ImmunoSky #Imaging #Microscopy
