Apple shared CellWalk's story today, which began with David Goodsell's The Machinery of Life. Grateful to the people at Apple who worked on this :) developer.apple.com/news/?id=7qd...

CellWalk: The beauty of biology on visionOS - Discover - Apple Developer

Created for students and casual science lovers alike, the 2025 Apple Design Award finalist provides up-close images of life’s molecular masterworks, which are rendered in full color and accompanied by...

We're still so touched to float with amazing apps during the WWDC Keynote, and to be in the Platform State of the Union and the visionOS 27 Session. Yay CellWalk!! Thank you to the kind people at Apple and to the whole developer community for the best WWDC yet.

Had a great time on the What the Tech podcast back at my old computer science department! We got into app development, science, education, and AI. Thanks for having me Enisha and Hareem. Check out their other interviews, so well done. open.spotify.com/episode/3zAu...

Yay! I can't wait to meet so many amazing developers in June, especially the visionOS community 😀

WIP: Trying to do something more interesting with the disordered regions of synaptophysin (green) in the syp-vamp2 complex of this synaptic vesicle. I have this bug at the moment, a little nightmarish, but cool looking. Flailing tentacles...

WIP: modelled the synaptophysin-VAMP2 complex for our synaptic vesicle. This complex is involved in vesicle fusion. SYP forms a hexamer with 12 copies of VAMP2, a key part of the fusion machinery.

Lazy morning building a synaptic vesicle from scratch. Super WIP and not correct. Much to do. But it has the coolest guys imho: - Amber: Vesicular glutamate transporter (VGluT) - Red: V-ATPase No membrane. Need VAMP complex, etc. #screenshotsunday

WIP: Updated CellWalk's editor for macOS. I love how liquid glass adapts to the scene's colour palette. We're looking at an HIV model the folks at Scripps Research (this is just our dev tool)

@dreamwieber.bsky.social just released a beautiful video exploring my app CellWalk on the M5 Apple Vision Pro. Totally made my day. Thanks for the support Gregory! :)

My NEW video is on Cell Walk for Apple Vision – one of my favorite apps! It brings you inside the microscopic world 🤯 It's one of the first apps to take advantage of the new M5 chip – let's check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4fm...

I just updated CellWalk for the M5 Apple Vision Pro! This app really pushes the GPU (entire cells with billions of atoms) and it's a great way to test the M5. CellWalk on M5 increases resolution and detail 1.5x over M2! Huge. It's super sharp and detailed. Apple Intelligence is also way faster.

I quietly released new features for Apple Vision Pro in the last update: Widgets and on-device AI explanations powered by Apple Intelligence. I don't have an M5 yet, has anyone tried CellWalk on the M5 Apple Vision Pro?! How is it? more resolution (it should get more by default)?!

CellWalk is featured in Apple's new article on Apple Intelligence and Foundation Models. It's a really fun new way to learn about concepts and terms in the app, and I really enjoyed building it.

Getting ready for my talk tomorrow on "Thoughtful Spatial Design" at KWDC25 tomorrow! Hanging out at Fritz Coffee in Gangnam, Seoul. I love this location, nostalgic vibe.

🦠 NEW VIDEO 🦠 The molecular biology of how Mycobacterium Tuberculosis evades the immune system so well. Starting with this simulation of a full outer envelope of m.TB--let's explore how the deadliest & most persistent human pathogen completely hacks our immune response. #molecularbiology

Check it out! The @ucalgary.bsky.social where I did my PhD just published an article about my app, @cellwalk.bsky.social being a Finalist in the 2025 Apple Design Awards. Super cool. www.ucalgary.ca/news/ucalgar... #wwdc25

Check it out! I'm proud to unveil CellWalk 2 for Apple Vision Pro. Bring beautiful and immersive biology learning into your space. @cellwalk.bsky.social 🧬🦠🍎 #science #applevisionpro #visionos #apple #wwdc25

Ahh!! My app CellWalk is a finalist in this year's Apple Design Awards. What?! 😮 I'm beyond excited. Thank you Apple for the honor, and a huge thank you to the incredible people there. #wwdc25 @cellwalk.bsky.social

I need to store a fair amount of data alongside my Git repository hosted on GitHub. I've been pricing things out: GitHub LFS: $70/TB LFS Cloudflare R2 + Webworker proxy: $15/TB LFS Backblaze B2 + Cloudflare Webwork: $6/TB I went with Cloudflare R2 for Git LFS and GitHub for the repo!

OpenAI’s new GPT-4o image generator is kind of mind-blowing, especially compared to what was state-of-the-art just days ago. Someone had to try the Ghibli trend on some crazy biology visuals, right? Here's my beloved whole cell model in Studio Ghibli, graffiti, cubism, abstract, and pop art style ✨

Christmas in June! I hope I can make it to this one and meet some of you. What's on your wishlist for visionOS 3? I'm personally hoping for big upgrades to CompositorServices and the ability to directly prompt Apple Intelligence. developer.apple.com/wwdc25/?cid=...

What a nice sight to wake up to 😊🌀 The amazing work of @cellarchlab.com, @florentwaltz.bsky.social and their team made it on the cover of @science.org and I had the honor to create the visuals! I hope you like this ATP (animated title page 😉 you see what I did there?).

In a new Science study, cryo–electron tomography captures the in-cell architecture of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, illuminating how the coordinated action of molecular machines drives life’s fundamental energy conversion. Learn more in this week's issue: scim.ag/3FA3Ygq

We're on the cover of @science.org this week. Awesome work by @florentwaltz.bsky.social. #CryoET is reaching crazy resolutions inside cells, and this is just the beginning. Fantastic interpretation of the proton motive force by @verenaresch.bsky.social. Always a pleasure making #SciArt with you!🧪🧶🧬🌾

Wow, my first #bluesky post, let's go 🚀-- I'm excited to share I have been invited to #ComSciConHouston on April 12, joining Daniel Whiteson for a panel on Science Communication through Different Mediums! lnkd.in/gXwUzWmR

Super appreciate being featured on spatial-apps.com by @spatiallyme.bsky.social ! Thanks for giving it a shot and placing it among other great apps for Apple Vision Pro 😀🥳

I was honoured to guest lecture on visionOS development and CellWalk at the University of Calgary’s iOS Programming Course. Also got to check out some promising student projects—definitely some Y Combinator potential in the mix!

Holy smokes, this is a really good animation. The side-by-side presentation gives a really good picture of what's happening locally and globally. I just watched this 15 times. Wow @margotriggi.bsky.social and the @briggsgroup.bsky.social

Mature #HIV-1 contains >2000 copies of “spacer peptide 2”, but we didn’t know why. We now see that SP2 binds the matrix protein and triggers the change into its mature arrangement. Summary video from @margotriggi.bsky.social
