Single-species FLIM using multiple organelle- or structure-selective small molecules and one fluorophore. a, TCO and BCN derivatives of HAO, Hoechst, and Docetaxel, which localize to the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM), nucleus, or microtubule network, respectively. b, HeLa cells were treated with HAO-BCN or HAO-TCO and c, imaged by detecting fluorescence intensity (Intensity), average photon arrival time (Fast FLIM), or phasor analysis (Phasor).

Just get it done and directly address forest management - quit hand-wringing about things higher up Maslowβs hierarchy of needs.

I tell my trainees that if the small wins in the lab or finding out something new doesnβt spark a dopamine hit- donβt be a scientist. Being a scientist is also a lot like being an artist, your work can take years to complete and may not be immediately embraced, you have to love the process /2
