It's MicroscopyMonday, so let's take a peek into the 🔬 This movie was taken by Shinya Inuoe, who built the polarizing microscope that allowed scientists to see mitotic spindle fibers live for the first time. Dr. Inuoe premiered his research at MBL.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Day! Thank you to every student and researcher who has contributed to the dynamic learning environment we enjoy here at the MBL. Please help us welcome 11 new course directors who will join us this summer! Meet them here: bit.ly/43i1uMP

Scientists and staff gathered for "Research Day" to recognize new employees and showcase MBL's groundbreaking research. "What brought me to the MBL was a job, but what brought me back was the top-notch scientific and broader community," said Elizabeth Elmstrom.

📆 Don't forget to join us in one week for a special MBL Falmouth Forum with author Sebastian Junger! As always, MBL lectures are free and open to the public. Can't make it in person? That's okay, we'll be streaming live! mbl.edu/falmouth-forum

Yesterday, students in the MBL's Analytical and Quantitative Light Microscopy course built and tested microscopes from openUC2 🔬 Their modular cube system—akin to LEGO bricks—allows for easy assembly and reconfiguration of optical systems. #sciencestartshere

The Analytical and Quantitative Light Microscopy (AQLM) course has come to a close. For two weeks, researchers examined the theory of image formation and the subtle interactions between light and a specimen. Learn more about this and other courses here! bit.ly/3GMpPSn

Happy #MicroscopyMonday! This video features the eye of a longfin inshore squid (doryteuthis pealeii). It was taken by Sierra Schwabach and Vish Venkataram, students who took our Comparative Developmental Biology course in 2022 🦑
