This is a microcosm of politics in my country:

"Trump added that he did not remember meeting Zhao, had “no idea who he is” other than being told that the multibillionaire crypto boss was a victim of a “witch-hunt” by former president Joe Biden."

Trump says he doesn’t know who crypto tycoon is despite having pardoned him
Billionaire Changpeng Zhao pleaded guilty to enabling money laundering before president freed him last month

🐌💫 Snail embryos never looked so fabulous!
Tubulin (white), phospho-histone H3 (pink), and F-Actin (cyan) light up this early stage like a cytoskeletal disco ball.

This reminds me of keyword stuffing webpages in the late 90’s to improve search engine results. Old dogs - old tricks. 😂
Hidden prompts in articles to fool #AI reviewers! It'sbrilliant, it's resistance and it's self-defense! It shows the massively wealthy publishing companies that cutting corners is bad for #science! They could use their wealth to pay independent reviewers.... 🧪

There is beauty in #DevBio. Look at this developing lung. Just look at it. Gorgeous. This early #FluorescenceFriday submission is from postdoc Christina Daly. 🧪 🔬 👩‍🔬 Membrane GFP signal is depth shaded in rainbow. 🌈

New chamber mount design for our @mesospim.bsky.social - magnetic kinematic bases from @thorlabs.bsky.social for the win! 3D printed (for now) bases hold the chamber snugly for precise positioning between experiments. Fill port on the front allows for media addition without disturbing imaging.

This is a fantastic idea for the future of cores. Building >>> buying. 👏👏👏
1/n We have an exciting new initiative at UPenn to provide custom advanced microscopy solutions: Advanced Core for Microscope Engineering (ACME): www.med.upenn.edu/cdbacme/ We are looking for a specialist to help run this new facility, job description is attached please help share widely!

Holy crap that is STUNNING!! 🤩🤩
Just a gorgeous #Purkinje neuron all by itself in the cerebellum. Only with #lightsheet #microscopy on a whole #cleared sample could you ever hope to catch a lone reporter expressing cell in it’s entirety. #science 🧪

In 2019, the #mesoSPIM and #ctASLM #lightsheet #Microscopy papers appeared back-to-back in @naturemethods.bsky.social - now Jinlong Lin, @zacsimile.bsky.social & @kevin-dean.bsky.social & Co introduce the MCT-ASLM - a chimera of both for smart multiscale #imaging!
