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.

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.

We discussed along those lines with @malacridalab.bsky.social in Montevideo last year, great to see that it works!

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.

#GEF2025 the meeting is winding down, but it's been an incredible few days. I gave my last talk on behalf of Nature Methods yesterday. It's been amazing to see how far this field has come in ten years. A huge thanks to my hosts Ali and Silvio!!

In the #GEF25 Presidential Lecture, chaired by @eboyden3.bsky.social, Stefan Hell presented a conceptual breakthrough, a dramatic shift from the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry on super-resolution: fluorophores no longer need on–off states, effectively nullifying the diffraction barrier.

At #GEF25 to prove Ed Boyden needs no introduction, Silvio Rizzoli gave us a pop quiz about him, and we passed 😂 but I learned he has a 115 page CV!!
