Love the optics here - see the reflection!
We are welcoming a lot of people to @ei-science.bsky.social getting great data on their own biological systems for prelim data for grants.
It’s nice to have a greta space to welcome them to!
Is there an #smFRET experiment you’d like to try? Ping me here!

🤔 What if we could detect disease from a single molecule before symptoms even appear? This isn’t just innovation. It’s a shift in how we understand, detect, and prevent illness. Molecular insights are unlocking a new era in human health. #innovation #lifescience #biophysics

The antihero in my story “Crisis Actors” uses cylindrical mirror anamorphism as an “encryption” technique [he’s not very bright], but I’d never seen it done with 3D objects rather than just flat images until I stumbled on this article about the sculptor Jonty Hurwitz.
