Looking forward to my first meeting council meeting at what could probably be my 10th annual meeting (and that only because for a long time I favoured the west coast years…)

🤔 What if we could detect disease from a single molecule before symptoms even appear? This isn’t just innovation. It’s a shift in how we understand, detect, and prevent illness. Molecular insights are unlocking a new era in human health. #innovation #lifescience #biophysics

The antihero in my story “Crisis Actors” uses cylindrical mirror anamorphism as an “encryption” technique [he’s not very bright], but I’d never seen it done with 3D objects rather than just flat images until I stumbled on this article about the sculptor Jonty Hurwitz.

In 2016, @timcraggs.bsky.social had a problem:
He needed an instrument he couldn’t afford.
So, he built one!
His mission:
→ To democratise the smFRET method and make it accessible to as many labs as possible.
In 2025, Exciting Instrument is speeding up (exciting announcements coming up!) 🚀
Europe’s choice is clear.
To put science at the heart of its economy.
To become the home of scientific freedom and collaboration.
And to welcome talent from all over the world.
I’m glad to present the first elements of our Choose Europe Initiative.

Yup - literally just the drinks and snacks. Tickets and lunch before hand all on top! lol.
I am in the wrong business!!
Need to sell more microscopes…
Anyone want an EI-FLEX? I’ll through in the popcorn…🤣
Sadly that is pretty much spot on! £37.98
