Wow this is a seriously serious supplementary figure from @cellpress.bsky.social today. Panels A through UU. I get that Cell likes to minimize the number of supplementary figures. But is this really what is happening here? www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Off to Dresden for my seminar tomorrow at @mpi-cbg.de kindly hosted by Sandra Scharaw. I can't wait to meet everyone and talk exciting science stuff 🔬🧪🧬. Presenting my Atlas of cytokinesis 😊 🌍🍬

I tried an even harder example on Gemini Pro image generation and this is quite scary/amazing. I asked for a microscopy image of around 20 HeLa cells, GFP tagged 20% nuclear, 10% membrane, +1 nuclear staining, + overlap. Image below and prompt in the following post.

What an honor and a pleasure to present my research at the 10 years AMBIO NIKON🔬 Core Facility Symposium 🎇 @Charité. Amazing science across the bench, scales, model systems, in health and disease. 🐀🦠🧫 Multiplexing and omics, data handling, and correlative approaches are at the forefront of medical 🔬

Happening today @ Charité Berlin. 10 years of AMBIO @nikonmicroanz.bsky.social Core Facility 🎉 Celebrate with this excellent speaker line up 👇🏽

We’re just innocent men

It doesn't stop! 🤩 Session this morning includes major breakthrough of @afilimon.bsky.social on the importance of menstrual blood 🩸 as a marker to test for #endometriosis and the effect of menstrual cycle on cancer development in aging women. ❤️💪🏽🩸 Important work + well deserved winner! #FallingWalls

How do mammalian follicles expel and safe-guard the oocyte upon ovulation? Amazing talk by @schuhlab.bsky.social at the #FallingWalls #ScienceSummit25 on the live visualisation of ovulation 🔬🥚. Hyaluronic acid acts as a hydrogel to induce #expansion and increase pressure in the follicle. 🎉🤩

Great panel concluding an exciting day at the #ScienceSummit25 in Berlin. Moderated by @curiousdrgeorge.bsky.social and supported by @chanzuckerberg.bsky.social Biohub. "The human researcher and AI together will always outperform each other individually".👌🏽 And a shout-out to expansion microscopy 🔬🧫🦠

What a gem from @dudinlab.bsky.social @gautamdey.bsky.social @centriolelab.bsky.social in Cell! Expansion microscopy atlas of >200 eukaryotes comparing cytoskeletal architectures revealing structures not seen before. Stunning visualisation! Exactly the kind of transformative cell biology we need.
