On #FluorescenceFriday get your vote* in for your favourite JCS cover from 2023! Voting is open until Monday 22 January. focalplane.biologists.com/20… * we also have some fantastic images that don't use fluorescence microscopy!!

On #TechnicalTuesday we are highlighting work by @cheerful_neuron, @Nikic_Lab, et al. on click labelling in neurons. They design AAV vectors to add unnatural amino acid-based tags to their target proteins and use SPIEDAC for labelling. 📖@J_Cell_Sci: journals.biologists.com/jcs/…

You are looking for a PhD/postdoc position & are excited about this kind of work👇? @sinzlab has an open position! Work together with @AToliasLab myself & a great team on using machine learning tools to better understand the visual system DM if interested Pls spread the word🙏
So excited this is out @Nature 🎉 Pupil dilation with internal brain state rapidly shifts neural feature/color selectivity in mouse visual cortex by switching between rod&cone photoreceptors👁️🧠 nature.com/articles/s41586-0… Shared work with @KonstantinWille, @AToliasLab & @sinzlab

re-discovering that paper. A reminder that immuno quality (endogenous proteins notably) is as important as imaging quality, and as complex as any other technique when you understand the many variables at play. A good image starts with a good immuno, and it ain't always easy!
I am very happy and proud that first results of my two PhD students are published! 🥳Many updates on our preprint, including dSTORM dataset used to compare Alexa Fluor 647 and Alexa Fluor Plus 647 in Vectashield and GLOX. Open access & available at nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

Endocytosis in the axon initial segment maintains neuronal polarity disq.us/t/4a08nb5 - neurons have to work to maintain their functional morphology! Nice work from Kang Shen and colleagues 👏

No matter the result, an amazing part of being a PI is getting messages like this. It is truly awesome to be able to live vicariously through someone else’s science, passion, and hard work (and to be the 2nd person in the world to know something new). Thanks ⁦@AllyNguyen9⁩

Mendel wrote a personal statement when he was 28 and applying to complete his degree. Writing in the third person, he described his failures and dashed hopes in academia. Becoming a monk was the escape that gave him the freedom to do research. #Mendel200 doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjourna…

When giving a talk, remember: -- The information bottleneck is not on how much you can say in 10 - 20 min but on how much your audience can understand in that time.

We are still looking for a postdoc to join our international team @uni_mainz_eng @imbmainz to work on PTMs on neurodegeneration-linked RBPs and how they regulate phase separation/aggregation. We esp. seek candidates with a background in proteomics and biophysics! Please retweet!
Interested in a postdoc position on RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) in neurodegeneration? Our lab in Mainz, Germany, is especially interested in the regulation of RBP phase transitions by PTMs.

If you want to learn about #bioimageanalysis I've written a free & open textbook that tries to help: bioimagebook.github.io Thanks to the wonder of @ExecutableBooks & other modern magic it's not quite like a normal book... (thread) @OpenEdEdinburgh @NEUBIAS_COST @BioimagingNA
