Happy that I could play a small part in this before the pandemic and I’m so amazed that 5 years later I’m part of the team!
Finally here! Our preprint on the MOSAIC, a multimodal adaptive optical microscope enabling non‑invasive in‑vivo imaging from molecules to organisms, is out. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @Eric_Betzig @legant_lab
While Gokul for all intents and purposes IS the ABC, I thought he deserves his own shout out, since none of this would have been possible without him: journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…

🧪 Exciting opportunity! Join the Royer/Jacobo labs @CZBiohub SF! We're seeking a Spatial Molecular Cartography Scientist to push the limits of 3D transcriptomics in zebrafish. Expertise in HCR/FISH techniques wanted! Help us map gene expression at unprecedented detail.…
We are seeking candidates for a fully funded postdoctoral position (3 years) in the Shaner Lab at UCSD. The successful candidate will lead projects focused on genetically encoded biosensor design, validation, and optimization. adc-nice.org/postdoctoral-r…
Abrupt Dismissal of NIH and NSF Staff Undermines Government Efficiency
The Society for Developmental Biology has released a statement on the Unprecedented Disruptions to Biomedical Research in the United States.
I’m not on here too much anymore but… My 85 year old dad is a finalist in a graphic arts contest to design a wine bottle label for his local Maryland winery - if you think his art worthy it would be awesome if you voted for Bernard! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

The Lyons and @Hamdounlab labs are recruiting postdocs to study how the nervous systems of marine invertebrates responds to climate change, as part of the Allen Discovery Center for Neurobiology in Changing Environments (ADC-NiCE). To apply: lyonslab.org/postdoc-ad
At #ASCB2024 today to speak in the session "Accelerating Discoveries in Cell Biology Using AI" about our Cell Observatory initiative to expand our understanding of subcellular physiology in the native multicellular environment by coupling advanced 4D imaging with AI. We're…

They wiggle forward, they wiggle backward, and occasionally they help win the #nobelprize! Congrats to Ambros, Ruvkun and their model C. elegans!
Congratulations to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for receiving the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery of #microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation! 🧵 1/3 cell.com/nobelprize
A new procedure for live-cell imaging of tardigrades, recently published in STAR protocols, came out of the 2023 Embryology course at the MBL. mbl.edu/news/new-way-s…
1/ Thanks Rita! The @naturemethods comment follows from my “Confessions” talk last February and is motivated by my desire to recruit financial backers, AI collaborators, and highly motivated data scientists and biologists to join us for our “Cell Observatory” mission.…
A quick and thought-provoking read on the state of fluorescence microscopy and what it will take to tackle the most complex questions in biology from Eric Betzig. Highly recommended reading!
Making this twitter official too! Really excited to join the ABC @UCBerkeley @berkeleyMCB working with @Eric_Betzig @IanSwinburne and Gokul Upadhyayula and a chance to level up my #zebrafish skills! linkedin.com/posts/david-ma…
Had an awesome time catching up with my @stonybrooku friends today!


Pitstop on our college tour catching up with @FrancesEMoore2 taking us to some super yummy Indonesian food near Yale!

So fun being back on campus @wesleyan_u ‘98 on a campus tour for our F1!




Thanks! @m_a_q_martinez managed to break the anchor cell in the best way! #DivideAndConquer
🤩 Very cool story! Congratulations to the authors!
