Wrapping up an amazing day at the @latambioimaging.bsky.social meeting! Honored to witness the presentation of the Honoris Causa degree to the legendary Carlos Bustamante. A truly inspiring way to conclude today's events. 👏

I would love to work as an imaging scientist! Gaining traction from the synergy between image acquisition, robust analysis, and system modeling is the most exciting frontier. It's the difference between being a step in a pipeline and understanding the experiment and system under study.

Individual labs have natural turnover (grads, post-docs). When that specialized knowledge walks out, who holds it? The facility staff. We are the necessary knowledge buffer, stabilizing expertise, protocols, and best practices for the long haul. Thank you @ahklemm.bsky.social for teaching me this!!

I presented my views on Facilities at the 🔬Democritizing #Microscopy in LatAm #BiologistsWorkshops!

Facilities aren't just equipment hubs; they also hold the Institutional Memory.
