Democratizing Nanoscale Imaging at Molecular Resolution Discover a practical expansion imaging approach that reveals protein shape and spatial organization at the nanoscale using standard fluorescence...

#Proteins are ~10 nm.
#Fluorescence #microscopes were never meant to see them beyond a single dot.
On March 11 I’ll discuss how #ONEmicroscopy pushes #imaging toward true #molecular #scale.

What if your confocal could see #proteins like never before?
Next stop: molecular resolution with ONE microscopy.
I’ll be sharing how we push standard fluorescence systems to the nanometer scale and what this means for structural biology and cell #biology.

Last manuscript submission of 2025 🎉
First real stress test of hybrid #quantum #machine #learning on messy #biological #data.
Some things broke. Some held. That’s the point.
Closing 2025 strong 💥

And the day capped with an elegant #tango #concert.
Thank you my friend, Professor @piatkevich.bsky.social for the invitation and warm welcome. See you again soon.

2nd destination of #China #science tour: #WestlakeUniversity which stood out for how architecture, core facilities, & scale actually work. Centralized microscopy pipelines, unmatched instrument density, & unreal procurement economics. Strong PI discussions, BRILLIANT students, great #Hangzhou vibe.

#Labubus roam freely in #China 🇨🇳 & are known to cause jitter. At #NBIC, vibration is solved architecturally: the entire floor is isolated, not individual microscopes. Located in #Huairou #Science City, minutes from the HEPS #synchrotron, the building itself becomes the stabilizing instrument.

A remarkable day for #Lebanon 🇱🇧🇻🇦 as the country welcomes His Holiness #Pope Leo XIV. As the late Pope John Paul II once said, ‘Lebanon is more than a country, it is a message.’ A message of #peace and #coexistence that still matters. I wish I could have been in Lebanon today.

The amount of AI-written stuff online is scary. I don’t have the numbers, but it already feels like a flood. In a few years, reading something actually written by a human might feel like a luxury.

I am a boring old lady and I already dropped off my mail in ballot weeks ago, but YOU CAN STILL VOTE TOMORROW (well, some of you). These elections REALLY MATTER, so please don't sit them out. Apathy is our enemy.

#truestory: My intern: “I was in high school when you finished your PhD.”
Me, 24 hours later: sipping my #labubu latte, Googling “fountain of #youth,” and wondering if #Botox is covered under the grant as “equipment maintenance” 🥲

Great few hours spent in #Soglio, #Switzerland 🇨🇭 what a place. Perched above Val Bregaglia, surrounded by #ancient chestnut trees planted by Protestant refugees, and facing #sunsets that set the #Sciora peaks on fire.
