Our team in Ghent wants to grow!! If you would be interested in doing electron microscopy with us, please check out the job posted below. Come join a great team @VIBtechnologies! Trust me - it is really a great place to work! jobs.vib.be/j/94535/electr…
If I was close I would be there! Cheers to many great memories!
If you are in Lisbon, come to the last beer hour @IGCiencia, to end this chapter while toasting for even better beer hours with GIMM to continue our wonderful scientific discussion in our patio! Thank you @phd_igc + all IBB students for all the great events!
Back in Brussels after an amazing visit to Vienna. Three superb days that included a @hfpconsulting course, & then visits to the LM and EM facilities at @viennabiocenter and @ISTAustria. I come back full of enthusiasm and ideas! Wow! Just Wow! 🤩! 🙏 for hosting me @GKrens!




It was an incredible week at #EMC2024! I have lost my voice, my head is swirling with ideas & my hug quotation has been refilled. I ❤️ 🔬 🧑🔬 Thank you to the organizers for hosting us & to all the speakers, poster presenters and companies for sharing their newest stuff with us!




Off to a great start at #EMC2024 in Copenhagen. Lovely to see so many good friends and colleagues on day 1. Martina @MaSchifferer wowed again with a superb talk to kick off the Life Science Track 👏.




It was amazing to meet Muriel and Isabelle in person in Copenhagen last night. We have know each other for a few years but only in zoom - now finally in person.
Fantastic catching up with EM colleagues and collaborators in CPH! Discussing science is even better when it’s paired with good time together. Thank you to @IsabelleBonne and @drtranfield & a shoutout to the power of @GlobalBioImage &TechEM for bringing scientists together!
I had quite a fun chat with Pete and it was all captured. I hope you enjoy the interview - thank you Pete for making this so delightful!
Erin Tranfield talks about her inspirational and enormous personal challenges post a serious accident on #TheMicroscopists. Erin also chats about her time at NASA, her mum's career advice, the exotic countries she has worked in, and lunar dust! See/Hear: bit.ly/microscopists7…
I leave @embl with a full ❤️ and an inspired mind. I had wonderful hugs & updates from old friends, unexpected reunions & my face hurts from smiling. In these days we heard incredible science that inspires me to I wonder what is next. 🙏 to all! What an amazing event! #EMBL50
Since @PavelTomancak is chair of this next (and final 😢) session celebrating EMBL Alumni at the celebration of @embl 50th Birthday, this means his fabulous tweets are paused. Let me tweet a picture of our wonderful EMBL Alumni Board Chair. Thank you Pavel for all you do!

It is wonderful to be here in Heidelberg to celebrate this amazing milestone!
On this day, 50 years ago, EMBL was established! Today, we celebrate five decades of EMBL, fuelled by infinite curiosity. EMBL turns 50, and we’d like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to reaching this milestone! #EMBL50
My journey through a few core facilities has been featured in an article along with my hopes for future recognition of core facilities. Thank you to the @WileyGlobal team for the feature. analyticalscience.wiley.com/content/articl…
It is a packed room to celebrate 50 years of research excellence @embl I am looking forward to the next few days of wonderful science and seeing so many old friends! #EMBL50


A bit of fun to celebrate almost the end of my 4th month at VIB. Time sure flies when you are having a great time, and part of an amazing team at the @VIBImagingCore and @VIBtechnologies.
👋 Meet Erin Tranfield (@drtranfield) and Pablo Hernández Varas, the new Heads of the @VIBImagingCore. How did they get into bioimaging? What's their vision for the future of the field? And... which fiction book would they recommend? Find out here! 👇 vibbio.tech/3VUSqKl
Today the @VIBImagingCore Ghent took the afternoon off microscopes and went to chocolate school together! It was as good as it looks! 🤤The only downside is I am not sure how to beat this for our next team building event 🤷♀️. Thank-you team for a wonderful afternoon!




Sometimes I do crazy things like travel 10 hours (return) to see a mentor and friend. I think in science our greatest gifts are our colleagues. Thank you dear Bruno for sharing your endless wisdom! It was amazing to see you in person for the first time since 2017!



After a superb core facility day, #ELMI2024 is officially starting! What a start to this meeting with a keynote session by Ralf Jungmann


What a fabulous welcome to Liverpool! #ELMI2024 is starting off well!

The BioImaging Core Ghent delegation is on our way to #elmi24! Looking forward to seeing you there. Please come say hi!! @VIBImagingCore @VIBtechnologies
