One of the most useful resources for anyone who uses fluorescence methods.
The FPbase spectra viewer just had it's biggest software refactor in 6 years. It *should* be largely invisible to the end user (hopefully just faster and less buggy). Please let me know if you find any issues as you use it!

We are planning the build of a light sheet setup and are considering a Powell lens to generate the sheet.
I've not been able to find a discussion of the pros and cons in literature, so if you ever used a Powell lens or have considered using one in your setup, I would love to hear your opinion. THX!

Just out in @science.org: Together with the lab of @wilhelmpalm.bsky.social, we used sequential in-vitro/in-vivo CRISPR screens to decipher metabolic adaptations in tumors.

Vance is responding to a purported quote from Joy Reid THAT SHE DIDN’T SAY.

Left is Vance quote-tweeting a BS MAGA account. Right is my transcription of the video. She’s talking about HER PARENTS’ EXPERIENCE OF RACISM NOT HERSELF. SHE’S QUOTING HER MOTHER.

Vance didn’t listen / doesn’t care.

First webinar on the kit this Thu Sep 18th. You can still register in one of the links below.
Our aim was to create a kit to produce in-house 1.2 holey carbon cryoEM grids, in three simple steps, at less than half of the prize, and without due times. I think we are there. Academic teams that want to know more, receive training or order a kit, please contact grids@puxano.com.

‘The anti-vax movement isn’t simply a grassroots network of concerned parents. It’s an industry. … It operates on a simple premise: if you’re not vaccinating your kids, you need to protect them somehow, and here’s a bunch of things you can buy to do that.’
