The results of the demo of the MINFLUX on our samples were stunning. It is unlikely that we will get such a system in the short term, but the good news is that we are ready for some proper high-res SMLM fun !

📣Stand Up for Science !
En écho au mouvement américain "Stand Up For Science" et face aux menaces pesant sur nos institutions, France Inter a accueilli dans son 7/10 les scientifiques Alain Fisher, Valérie Masson-Delmotte et Olivier Berné.
In her Essay, Renata Basto highlights the huge budget cuts facing the scientific community in France. In response to the cuts, a group of researchers has formed the ‘Pour une Recherche d'Avenir’ initiative to secure the future of French research.

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Announced after closing of admin for winter break, meaning you can't spend it last minute. Nice!
