Normal Tuesday. Got a few meetings today but not too many. President's threatening to genocide millions of people and there are folks flying around the moon in the fucking sky. Gotta take out the garbage later

Happy #MicroscopyMonday! 🧫 This week we're spotlighting Andy Stone, our immediate past-president at #NESM. 👏 @andystoneimaging.bsky.social Andy leads the Brandeis light microscopy core and is a powerhouse in the imaging community—from BINA to NESM and RMS. 🎥🔬 #LightSheet #BioImaging #STEM

We are hiring! Interested? Apply here: go.mbl.edu/AS1887

Do you like building novel optical microscopes to answer complex biological questions? How about doing that as part of one of the world’s most unique and vibrant research and education communities, which is incidentally located in a beautiful seaside New England village? 🐙🌊🔬

mStayRose is published in JBC 🥳🎉 Congratulations @wsctt.bsky.social @sporemohan.bsky.social and team for the monumental effort to make a non-natural amino acid incorporating fluorescent protein accessible. It's based on mStayGold, bright, and photostable: www.jbc.org/article/S002...

Photobleaching of fluorescent proteins often limits the acquisition of high-quality images in microscopy. StayGold, a novel dimeric green fluorescent protein recently monomerised through sequence engi...

Big news! Our week-long #bioimageanalysis bootcamp is BACK! Learn how to think about bioimage analysis like the pros do, learn what corrections you should (and shouldn't!) apply to your images, learn open source tools, and more. Apply NOW at broad.io/BAB3 for our January 2026 course!

Everyone who does quantitative microscopy should read this! It’s amazing how many ways we can bias our imaging experiments without realizing we’re doing it.

I still can’t believe that all NIH grants to my colleagues at Harvard and Harvard Medical School have been nullified. And that, as a nation, we’re somehow okay with this illegal, arbitrary, and petty act. Just think of the consequences: scientists, students, and patients will all suffer.

"The money the government sends to Harvard is, in effect, not a subsidy to advance the university’s mission. It’s a payment for the role Harvard plays in advancing the research mission of the United States." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

More than 900 research grants worth $2.6 billion are in jeopardy. So is the 80-year-old model of American science.
