#MyMBLMoment - collaboration & teaching! I took Physiology in 1996; my lab partner & I wanted to do an experiment; the section leaders suggested we go talk to famous MBL summer researcher-Clay Armstrong; we thought "why would he take the time to talk to us?"; but he showed the squid giant axon prep!
Dear MBL alumni (that's you!),

What's your favorite MBL memory?

Share with #MyMBLMoment to enter our giveaway.

A winner will be randomly chosen at the end of the month!

Nice pub @loukillab.bsky.social @sarahgoetz.bsky.social Lab. Nice to see SIM imaging from the Duke LMCF contribute to your publication! Congrats!
Thrilled to share our new paper on the in vivo BioID of neuronal cilia 🧬🌀
This is the first look at the signaling power of neuronal primary cilia in the mature mouse brain.
Huge thanks to @sarahgoetz.bsky.social and amazing collaborators for making this possible! 🙏

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.

Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !”

Hello all Imaging Scientists - would love to join you all 🔬
I created a starter pack for Imaging Scientists that work in core facilities.

I'm sure I missed lots of people since I searched for those that have "core" or "facility" in their bios, so let me know who else should be added!
