I wrote about why every lab should have AI use guidelines, and how to do it. open.substack.com/pub/blekhman...

You need to make AI guidelines for your lab

Here's why you should, and how to start

Want to make your images/videos more inclusive? Avoid Red-Blind LUTs! 🫷 While single-color red images are accessible, multi-color LUTs with red can be confusing for a small proportion of the population with Protanopia. I'll give a quick example from a paper I covered in journal club. 1/2

My pro tip as a new PI is to pack snacks. Then pack more snacks just in case.

Postdoc position available!!! We are looking for a creative postdoc to develop independent research directions in tissue morphogenesis using embryos, stem cell/organoid systems, and quantitative imaging and/or biophysics. Here are the details: livejohnshopkins-my.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/person...

Second month as a new PI: fixed an old, stuck microtome motor by simply wiggling it a little bit? Same vibe as troubleshooting Nintendo cartridges. But now we can section paraffin blocks!

Animal caps are the original organoid!

Cells & Development@cellsdev.bsky.social · 7mo ago

A fascinating review on the role of Activin in organ induction. Isn't it wild that in Xenopus embryos, a piece of the animal cap can be induced with Activin at different concentrations and buffers to form the ❤️, kidney, the pancreas, head, tail, and even a whole embryoid 🤯: doi.org/10.1016/j.cd...

Fourth week as a new PI: we have images! Repeated a routine protocol for immunostaining with my lab on some samples from my postdoc, and it worked well! 🎉🎉🎉

Second week as a new PI: lab space is starting to look like a lab! Becoming an expert in matching power cords to donated equipment.
