dear #fluorescentprotein specialists: anybody knows if mStaygold can be used in split complementation assays? Is analogy to the s11 strand split possible?
Happy to be at Science 4 Life today, showcasing great science from Utrecht's science park
Happy to present my latest research project at #NLSEV2025 Many interesting questions from the audience, so I guess I struck a chord 😉 Thanks to Luuk van de Schepop for the picture! @nlsev.bsky.social

Abstract submitted for #NLSEV2025! @nlsev.bsky.social
Had a 14h shift in the lab yesterday. Mice experiment followed by magnetic sorting of different cell types from tissues. Too many washing steps but there were some cells left in the end. Next step is to see whether my EVs have reached their destination 😅
Yes! Mention of #extracellularvesicles in a @kurzgesagt.org popular science video about pregnancy. Wait until they learn about all the processes EVs play a role in 🤓

Great that Europe provides opportunities for US researchers. Could strengthen Europe's position as scientific stronghold. I hope this does not go against opportunities of European researchers. Grant money is competitive enough already, and anti science policies are on the rise here, too 😕
