Awesome summary of places you can share published imaging datasets

We are hiring! If you are excited about building microscopes, voltage imaging, or techniques that can improve biological measurements I'd love to hear from you.  Postdoc ad linked below, and we will be hiring at all levels soon. recruiting2.ultipro.com/SAL1013SIBS/Jo…

Check out our new article in Trends in Chemistry! We review how 3-functionality can be leveraged to drastically alter the properties of xanthene fluorophores and unlock new applications in biological imaging. #FluorescenceFriday cell.com/trends/chemist…

Please share! Here's our latest preprint on the university-wide mentorship program @bummp_ucsd, highlighting its profound impact on biology students from all backgrounds. In 4 years, this pioneering initiative has served over 1,350 mentees!!! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

So excited to be running a hands-on microscopy workshop for @bummp_ucsd September 16-18 (fun fact - one of these days is my 45th birthday!). Will be running with NikonImagingUCSD and the inestimable Sonya Neal. BUMMP students - send an email if you’re interested! Sponsors welcome :-)

🧪A team of researchers, led by Helen Farrants & Eric Schreiter, developed a new way for engineered protein biosensors & bright, fluorescent Janelia Fluor dyes to work together, creating a new biosensor for measuring physiological signals in live animals.➡️janelia.org/news/new-biose…

In one week we’ll be having a social get together and kickoff to the academic year! Come join us on September 27th from 4-7 pm for snacks, drinks, and chats! RSVP here: tr.ee/uWeIbXs2i_

Thank you everyone for coming to our fall kickoff event! We had some great snacks and conversation! Stay tuned for news on our next event, and hope to see y’all there!

QSS will be at The Nat’s Big Birthday Block Party on Saturday, October 19th! Join us there — and if you want, come volunteer for a little while! Talk about your science and help run science activities! RSVP here to volunteer: forms.gle/FKkjpfgR1WhizG…

Protein Kinase C (PKC) enzymes are critical signaling molecules, but their regulation at emerging signaling hubs remains unclear. In a study led by postdoc Qi Su chrisqs , we developed a sensitive fluorescent biosensor of PKC, ExRai-CKAR2! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Thanks to everyone who came to our table at The Nat’s birthday event this past Saturday! We had a great time chatting with the community, making hydrogels, and extracting DNA from strawberries!

Looking for a fluorescent biosensor and don’t know where to start? Want a comprehensive overview of the field? Check out our new review in Chemical Reviews online now as an ASAP article! From co-first authors Dr. Anneliese 💖💜💙 @AyseZSahan Yanghao Zhong doi.org/10.1021/acs.ch…

Also, I’m still here intermittently, but I’m also trying out the other place! Same handle. 🦋

Given the state of the world and this website, we’re moving our socials primarily to Instagram and Bluesky, where we just made an account! Find us at queersciencesd.bsky.social 🦋 We’ll have a small presence here for a little bit, but we’ll be winding it down.
