Just a reminder - don't pull the ladder up behind you. We all got help and support along the way from someone. Thank you for listening! @academic-chatter.bsky.social

I am SO incredibly excited to announce the launch of a global list of Inspiring Black Scientists. You can use this list to nominate and connect with researchers. Please share and join us in highlighting these outstanding scientists for #BlackHistoryMonth and beyond! www.wiley.com/en-us/resear...

Just a reminder - please and thank you truly are magic words.

While the technical program at SPIE #PhotonicsWest was outstanding as always, what stood out most was the sense of global community. The numerous in-person interactions were a powerful reminder of why conferences matter. 🧪💡 #collaboration #networking #support #teamwork #PhotonicsWest2026

Excited to be back at SPIE Photonics West with my fabulous team!! Looking forward to the great week ahead filled with photonics, networking, and fun! #PhotonicsWest #SPIEPW #TeamWork #Photonics #ConferenceVibes #Innovation 💡

New paper alert! 🎉 We present NC-PCA, a noise-aware PCA method that boosts FLIM analysis, reduces uncertainty 5.5×, & keeps far more data than thresholding/filtering-only approaches. 🧪💡 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Low-photon FLIM data is messy. So we built NC-PCA, a denoising approach that preserves signal structure while stripping away noise & validated on synthetic data, dyes, & >800 colorectal cancer organoids. Proud of this team! Paper link: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪💡@academic-chatter.bsky.social

Excited to share our team’s work on improving FLIM metabolic imaging. NC-PCA selectively removes shot noise without filters or training. The result? Clearer phasors, higher accuracy, & better biological insights. www.nature.com/articles/s41... @springernature.com @academic-chatter.bsky.social 💡🧪

Breaking news: I’ve uncovered a new law of academic publishing!! The moment I board a plane, a manuscript decision arrives for my team. At this point, the fastest way to speed up our publications might just be more travel. @academic-chatter.bsky.social

Congratulations to Lexie Scholtz who just defended her PhD in BME! She's headed off on Monday to KLA to be an applications and packaging engineer!! @academic-chatter.bsky.social

I can't stop thinking about this. It was so amazing to see people working together - literally or just by being patient when their commute was put on hold - to save a little life. It was truly heartwarming.

If you're the person who just stopped all traffic on the CA10 to try to catch a tiny gray kitten or the guy who crawled under your Prius to pull the little guy out of your wheel well after he got scared... Thank you for making the world a better place.

Someone warmed up a cinnamon roll for breakfast in the microwave, and now the entire floor smells like cinnamon deliciousness.

My favorite: I buy some particles from a company, & I need to know the composition for some modeling. I politely reach out & ask, only to be told it's a "trade secret". I'll see your trade secret and raise you a TEM with EDX. 😏😂 #chemsky 🧪
