Very excited to be co-organizing this meeting. Hope to see you there!

Maud Menten was born in Canada in 1879 and completed her UG and MD education at University of Toronto. As a research assistant with Leonor Michaelis in 1912, they wrote the classic paper describing the “Michaelis-Menten” model of enzyme kinetics.. #WomenInScience

Just heard him speak at Janelia just now. Wonderful talk!

(Part 1) Hear from @hhmi_news Investigator David Stern about his research program and what he's uncovering in the lab.

Stern will join the Institute in February 2026, bringing his lab and HHMI appointment to Kansas City. @hhmi.org

"Her work made it impossible to separate what we learn from our obligation to protect it. Generations of researchers have tried to follow that example." - Jennifer Doudna (2/2)

The culmination of many years work. One of the most advanced light-sheet microscopes in the world!

-> A large field of view Snouty light-sheet microscope, with any immersion remote refocus and real-time multi-angle projections!

Congratulations Jie! @jiexiaolab.bsky.social

Stunningly beautiful RNA movies, congratulations!

🚀 Our new paper is out @natmethods.nature.com!

Kuffer & Marzilli engineered conditionally stable MS2 & PP7 coat proteins (dMCP & dPCP) that degrade unless bound to RNA, enabling ultra–low-background, single-mRNA imaging in live cells.

Nobel laureate Jennifer Doudna tells Jeffrey Goldberg that vaccinations have been so successful that "there's been a collective forgetting that measles, and mumps, and rubella—these used to be diseases that would kill people in fairly large numbers." #TAF25 bit.ly/46a5DUE

Today’s work, aside from meetings.

Beautiful work led by @oliveringe.bsky.social. It was great fun to be involved with this project.

See Ollie’s paper and thread 👇

Thanks Misha for the shout-out!
It has been a truly mind-opening journey. WHOLISTIC is one step towards whole-organism neuroscience and a true physiological observatory - with extensions on the way! I am continually amazed by what the data reveals - so much remains to be discovered and mined.

We are all super happy and proud to see our work on the function and evolution of the #cephalic #furrow published in @nature.com. Let me say a few things about the background and history of this work on the #Evolution_of_Morphogenesis (1/12)

Results so stunningly clear they inspired this classic xkcd (xkcd.com/2400/):

Glycan shielding enables TCR-sufficient allogeneic CAR-T therapy SPPL3 deletion modifies glycosylation on primary T cells, reducing allogeneic immune responses without impairing tumor control by anti-CD19 allogeneic CAR-T cells. SPPL3-null, TCR-sufficient anti-CD19...

This is absolutely the most significant glycobiology paper so far this year. Increasing cell surface N-glycosylation makes viable allo CAR-T cells without deleting the endogenous TCR #glycotime

Vaccines save lives, pass it on.

(1/n) A simple, ultrastable, and cost-effective oxygen-scavenging system for long-term DNA-PAINT imaging

Please check out our new study on the benefits of sodium sulfite as oxygen scavenging system for DNA-PAINT.

#SuperResolution #DNAPAINT #SMLM #Microscopy

A new 25-camera multifocus microscope can capture 3D volumes of living organisms at high speeds.

Using the microscope, the researchers were able to view a fruit-fly larva’s heart beating at about 2 Hz.

One of the people I'm indebted the most for creating stunningly beautiful #mesoSPIM samples was Martina Schaettin - who tragically passed away in March this year. To honor her memory, Elkhan Yusifov created an award - submit your best #microscopy images & videos! www.linkedin.com/company/mart...

Clever mug :-)

Today, I would like to honor the memory of Roger Y. Tsien, who died on August 24, 2016. His legacy lives with all who use his technologies, including calcium sensors, fluorescent proteins, the acetoxymethyl (AM) ester, & many more! #FluorescenceFriday

I have some BIG NEWS to share today!

Today I begin my next adventure as

Chief Editor of Nature Biomedical Engineering!!

(a thread) @natmethods.nature.com @natbiomedeng.nature.com @natureportfolio.nature.com

I still can’t believe that all NIH grants to my colleagues at Harvard and Harvard Medical School have been nullified. And that, as a nation, we’re somehow okay with this illegal, arbitrary, and petty act. Just think of the consequences: scientists, students, and patients will all suffer.

Nature Methods is hiring!
We are seeking a new editor with expertise in microscopy, imaging technology, and/or cell biology. The position is available in NYC/Jersey City or Shanghai/Beijing on a hybrid working model.
Apply by August 3!
