Last manuscript submission of 2025 🎉
First real stress test of hybrid #quantum #machine #learning on messy #biological #data.
Some things broke. Some held. That’s the point.

Antibody-free NHS-ester labeling #protocol enabling dense, uniform visualization of cytoskeletal structures. Optimized for #expansionmicroscopy, it minimizes linkage error, improves coverage, and provides an internal #nanoscale ruler for accurate #expansion-factor correction.

It was great pleasure hosting you at Westlake University! And you research is just mindblowing! I am looking forward to all cool technologies from your lab!
And the day capped with an elegant #tango #concert.
Thank you my friend, Professor @piatkevich.bsky.social for the invitation and warm welcome. See you again soon.

2nd destination of #China #science tour: #WestlakeUniversity which stood out for how architecture, core facilities, & scale actually work. Centralized microscopy pipelines, unmatched instrument density, & unreal procurement economics. Strong PI discussions, BRILLIANT students, great #Hangzhou vibe.

#Labubus roam freely in #China 🇨🇳 & are known to cause jitter. At #NBIC, vibration is solved architecturally: the entire floor is isolated, not individual microscopes. Located in #Huairou #Science City, minutes from the HEPS #synchrotron, the building itself becomes the stabilizing instrument.

Visit to #Beijing #China 🇨🇳 #PekingUniversity, the National Biomedical Imaging Center (#NBIC), hosted by Professors Liangyi Chen, Zhixing Chen, and Peace Chen. Over 19 one-to-one technical discussions across imaging, cryo-EM/ET, chemistry, and AI. Heading next to #WestlakeUniversity in #Hangzhou.

A remarkable day for #Lebanon 🇱🇧🇻🇦 as the country welcomes His Holiness #Pope Leo XIV. As the late Pope John Paul II once said, ‘Lebanon is more than a country, it is a message.’ A message of #peace and #coexistence that still matters. I wish I could have been in Lebanon today.

The amount of AI-written stuff online is scary. I don’t have the numbers, but it already feels like a flood. In a few years, reading something actually written by a human might feel like a luxury.

I am a boring old lady and I already dropped off my mail in ballot weeks ago, but YOU CAN STILL VOTE TOMORROW (well, some of you). These elections REALLY MATTER, so please don't sit them out. Apathy is our enemy.

#truestory: My intern: “I was in high school when you finished your PhD.”
Me, 24 hours later: sipping my #labubu latte, Googling “fountain of #youth,” and wondering if #Botox is covered under the grant as “equipment maintenance” 🥲

Great few hours spent in #Soglio, #Switzerland 🇨🇭 what a place. Perched above Val Bregaglia, surrounded by #ancient chestnut trees planted by Protestant refugees, and facing #sunsets that set the #Sciora peaks on fire.

I hope this Nobel Prize gets people talking meaningfully about our amazing immune systems and the importance of basic research to human health (and funding basic research).
I am also glad young women get to see that women can not only work at this level, but that those who do can get recognized.

What a fantastic 2 days at Frontiers in Neurophotonics. Huge thanks to the organizers for putting it together and for inviting me. It was great catching up with our friend Markus Sauer and Le epic @christlet.bsky.social, & shared a taxi ride with THE @jungmannlab.bsky.social 🧡
