Immagine you could image two cellular structures in the same fluorescent channel and still reliably get them separated afterwards…
What would you do with this?
Now… what would you do if that also worked with 4 structures at once? 👇 #MicroSplit #preview🧵

I’m at #AIS25 today and tomorrow…
Where scientists, industry leaders, investors, and policymakers meet to explore the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on scientific discovery.
I think this is a very important conversation we must have NOW! 👍

$8 trillion lost.....
"two first-rate economists, David Cutler and Ed Glaeser, have made a stab at estimating the impact of cuts at NIH. Their analysis suggests that these cuts might save $500 billion in federal spending over the next 25 years — while imposing more than $8 trillion in losses."
For MAGA, Ignorance is Strength
Research cuts aren’t about shrinking government, they’re about killing science
