Fantastic and inspiring #EMBOmarineImaging in Naples at the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn with microscopists, marine biologists, cell biologists and EMBLtrec. Thanks to EMBO and Moore Foundation for their support, speakers, and Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn.

An amazing meeting focused on imaging in marine organisms - at one of my favorite marine station.. literally surrounded by history. #EMBOmarineimaging with Ellie and Hannah from the lab.

Excited to start playing with our latest toys: Three (!) mini fluorescence microscopes from Cephla that fit in an incubator to track individual worms from birth to death. Thanks Hongquan Li PrakashLab for developing and helping us to get started!

SQUIDS starting to get in hands of community members. Thanks Benjamin Towbin @[email protected] - it’s been such a joy to see all the data. Will send a more detailed message announcing Cephla soon once we get all the details at cephla.com soon.

Great work from our awesome outreach scientist Jenny Grossman (she/her) 🐙 and Atomic Hands highlighting and making our starfish project accessible to a broader group of people.

ஓசூரில் நடைபெற்ற பயிற்சி

ஓசூரில் உள்ள MMS பள்ளியில் 100 அரசு பள்ளி தொண்டர்களுக்கு மடிப்பு நுண்ணோக்கிப் பயிற்சி வழங்கப்பட்டது. இதற்கு Dr. வருணி, ஜெகதீஸ், சக்திவேல் பயிற்சியை சிறப்பாக கொடுக்க உதவினர். தொண்டர்கள் உற்சாகமாக பங்கேற்றனர்.

Wonders of #Foldscopeing . Is this a flat worm or an amoeba. I will vote for a folded flat worm. Look at that peripheral ciliary flow 👀 kudos M. Pandiarajan

Xavier Trepat the beautiful PrakashLab work on microsporidian polar tube ejection (which serendipitously just came out in eLife - the journal)…300 um/s!

PrakashLab Foldscope Thank you for your invention! The foldascopes are amazing and well liked by all ages.

Always a joy to see when groups around the world take these « tools of curiosity » to communities they care about. Kudos Yan Yu Group for passing on curiosity - one microscope at a time. Foldscope 🙏🏾

Our group’s science fest activity was a great success! Thanks to grad students Swagata Swagata Bhattacharyya , Hunter, and Navin for hosting the events!

We practice art in GMs often, including history/theory& philosophy of artistic practices. This was delightful afternoon with Rebecca Konte in lab leading history plus 2 hrs of carving. With AI here - I want the physical practice of art to fill our world! Inspired by Sarah 🌿

Our collaborative story on biophysics of microsporidia polar tube invasion is out in eLife now. We share a new methodology of using topology as an organizing principle for understanding structure-function relationships in ultra fast biophysics. Congrats Ray Chang and Ari.

𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲: We are excited to share our new preprint on 3D diffusion in live E. coli where we show how colloidal physics regulate life-essential processes in biological cells. Check out the paper and video at lnkd.in/g2GV4Ypv.

Looking forward! Feel so lucky and grateful to go to Naples, collect plankton in this inspiring and historical place where pioneering work has been done on Radiolaria (Haeckel) and symbiose (Brandt). Thanks Niko Leisch and AML EMBLtrec . Can't wait to join #wefreezeonthebeach group

Investment in ecologically grounded research is key to understanding principles of healthy ecosystems. Thrilled to return back to Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn and EMBLtrec for 2024.
