Hey magnetogeneticists! I'll be presenting our new results on a highly magnetic-field-sensitive AsLOV2 variant at the Big Quantum Bio meeting tomorrow Thursday, April 18, at 7 am PST/10 am EST/3 pm UK time @ groups.google.com/g/bigquantumbi…. See you there!

Fantastic moment (of many) @ #MBLPhysiology Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) w/ students looking at microtubules & freshly-purified squid kinesin on TIRF microscope they just built! This student team shepherded by Evangelos Gatzogiannis & fellow microscopists Tanner Fadero Jenny Sachweh Andrew York

#AIRR microscopy, the final touch: Real-time multi-angle projections! -> Get ultra-fast 2D projections of 3D objects of any refractive index, with a light-sheet microscope that uses a single AIR objective at the sample! Crazy!

MagLOV results reproduced✅ We cranked the LED power and found the response can be much faster! Absolute change roughly the same at each LED power, i.e. contrast change likely due to the background, not MagLOV response. Many thanks to the Calico folks for sharing their discovery!

We (Andrew York, Jan Becker, Craig Russell and I) are still working on the manuscript describing our automatic parameter-free deconvolution approach, but we've made a Google Colab notebook where you can try it out without needing to install anything: beryl.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/rlgc_notebook/

We (Andrew York and I) are still working on the manuscript describing our artefact-free, noise-appropriate, resampling approach, but we've made a Google Colab notebook where you can try it out: beryl.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/upscaling_note… Below, we go from 104 nm per px to 8 nm per px.

My friend Abi made a 3D printed cat planter that gets angry when you don't water it! I love the intersection of hacking and automation and art and creativity. If you always wanted to learn "maker" skills but don't know where to start, watch her video: youtu.be/xw7AbU_zllY?si…

we love Andrew York and are hosting him for a talk this Sunday!
