How to draw optical layout / schematics? First, start with vector graphics tool. Inkscape is free and good. Secondly, there are libraries of nicely drawn basic optical elements such as gwoptics.org/ComponentLibra… @gwoptics & Alexander Franzen 1/N

It is OUT! zebrahub.org is our effort to link #scRNAseq and #microscopy based lineages reconstruction to understand development 🧬+🔬 So proud and happy of this work led with Loïc A. Royer 💻🔬⚗️ and done with a lot of Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network folks and collaborators🙏 Thread and preprint👇

Want to build switchable dual sided-light sheet illumination with pivot-based stripe suppression using only a single moving element? Improved illumination uniformity and imaging speed compared with previous mSPIM Check it! opg.optica.org/boe/fulltext.c… Huisken lab Dr Anjalie Schlaeppi

I was looking for some larger (NOT subdiffraction) fluorescent nanodiamonds (microdiamonds) for unique, nonbleaching fidicials. Sigma-Aldrich sells 140 nm diamonds, but I found that 2 micron diamond polishing powder works amazingly!

Chilling piece in Science Magazine on the NIH's shameful role in "the China Initiative." Lots of ruined careers, looks like many weak or just wrong accusations, and apparently no due process. Many universities also should be ashamed. Great work, Jeffrey Mervis. Why did NIH do it?

I'm writing about how overwork is baked into academia, through it's culture and contracts. How it weaponises our 'passion' to make the overwork seem acceptable. I'd love to know of any examples or views people have on this topic PhD Voice - Independently Run Academic Chatter™ Dr Zoë Ayres Petra Boynton

We created a fully-featured napari🔬 plugin for @MetaAI's incredible Segment Anything Model (SAM). It supports automatic instance segmentation and human feedback from points and bounding boxes. Try it! github.com/JoOkuma/napari… #segmentanything

.@Illumina announced that 200 NovaSeqX orders were placed in Q1, and with the competitive pricing offered by labs for X sequencing, it seems a tsunami is about to hit the sequencing core lab market. We are currently experiencing the calm before the storm, with only ripples of

🧵📢 We need to retain talented postdocs in academic science. I'm happy to say that HHMI has taken a big step forward this week. $70,000 That's the new starting minimum salary for all postdocs employed in HHMI labs hhmi.org/sites/default/… (1/4)

I’m quite used to the cruelty students can face when they apply for a US visa but this one broke me. We offered admission to a stellar, talented & hardworking student. After months of work and hundreds of dollars, an embassy officer saw him for 5 mins & said no. why? …

US visa application is definitely one of the worst US experiences a foreigner would have.

Kay Schink and Melissa Pezzotti worked very hard last week at Synthetic Physiology Lab Università di Pavia to get version 1 of our #Daxi implementation (code name #MeXi) up and running. There is more work to do, but I'm so happy we got to this point. I am grateful to Kay Schink for the help!

#AIRR microscopy has arrived! Use any immersion objective (including air!) to look into any sample refractive index! Built here with air, water and oil objectives, and for a sample RI in the range 1.33-1.51 (zoom lens). Could this be the fastest/most versatile light-sheet ever?

DoD Breast Cancer scores are out... good score and checked payline for why we were rejected. LESS than 1% funded. Not a typo! 1 of 163 funded. That is 162 labs that wasted significant time.

Can leaders please just eliminate programs like this?? If more time is spent applying than is funded for the winner, it’s a NET NEGATIVE for scientific progress.
