What if you could watch chromatin change in live neurons…..IN REAL TIME?Share if this is your dream! My lab is making biosensors to make chromatin visible as neurons wire into circuits & are hiring an Associate Scientist to build, not just execute.

Doing a linear stretch on these images shows how dramatic the "edits" were, revealing the deception in clear terms. This should be a complete scandal for Thermo Fisher and more people in the biosciences should be talking about it.

Reese Richardson@reeserichardson.bsky.social · 2mo ago

The Thermo Fisher situation keeps getting worse. We've now collected 450+ problematic images presented as verification data in TF's antibody catalog. This includes: 🖌️ Dozens more images with duplications or painting 🖨️ Hundreds of blots that all share the same background (behold slideshow below)

Before this day ends!

Have spent a day and a half on something that will save me around 2 hours every month. Worth it. xkcd.com/1205/

In this episode of the Under Review podcast, I talk to @andytattersall.bsky.social about research fraud detection, papermills, and that rat. open.spotify.com/episode/0pYD...

Beautiful ☀️y day, finally.

Fortunately, there's a resource to improve benchmarking of multiphoton systems. So things can get better. Here's the paper www.nature.com/articles/s41... And here's the free PMC version PDF (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...) (3/3)

Standardized measurements for monitoring and comparing multiphoton microscope systems - Nature Protocols

A set of procedures is described here for standardizing the evaluation of multiphoton microscope performance, covering laser power, pulse width optimizations, field of view, resolution and photomultip...

nature.com

Comparing multiphoton (2p/3p) imaging systems is often done poorly. labrigger.com/blog/2026/01... E.g., PSFs can be measured differently by different labs, staining quality is by far the biggest determinate on how multiphoton images will look at depth, and so forth. (1/3)

Spectacular views today!

We spend way too much time manually analyzing #microtubules 🔬 Together with Mario, Justus, Dominik, Felix & Erik we used synthetic data and foundation models to build a fully automated segmentation pipeline.
 #microscopy, #imageanalysis & #AI Check out our preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Building blocks! 🙂

Are you staining DNA in your ExM samples? We have awesome news for you! All our 6 SPY-DNA probes work beautifully well with the U-ExM protocol. You can now tune the color of the DNA channel to your needs, according to the fluorophores on your preferred antibodies. spirochrome.com/products/?_c...

Believe me when I say that I'm overlooking Barcelona. 🙂

The compulsory Christmas day ride! ✅ 🙂🎄🌟

Wuhuuu, preprints using the #RxivMaker engine are popping 🍾

Guillaume Jacquemet@guijacquemet.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Also, the PDF or our preprint was created with Rχiv-Maker @henriqueslab.bsky.social rxiv-maker.henriqueslab.org Paper: arxiv.org/html/2508.00...

Our annual PhD call is closing at the end of this week on 30 November. If you're interested in carrying out world-class scientific research in Barcelona, you still have a few days left to submit your application! www.crg.eu/en/content/t...

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:

My two favorite CUBEs 🙂

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.
