Pitching for NYT? 😂

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

I go with inconveniences. Below feels like -10F, it's "nose hairs freeze together" 😂

Walking the dog in "feels like -15F" up in Boston was pretty rough this morning 🥶

😬

At least the aqua stop did its job. (Water came out of tube when I adjusted it)

Ep 24 - Understanding your thresholding options is the diff between a win and a loss in SO MANY workflows - gain that intuition, and SO MUCH is easier. The 1st of 3 episodes discussing why - inspired by OUR FIRST REAL READER QUESTION. @erinweisbart.bsky.social and I are actual advice columnists now!

Thanks for the laugh 😂

Doug Richardson standing in front of Glacios Cryo-EM, explaining how it works

Inside or electron microscope

Starting next week, our Cryo-EM is officially open!

Got a non-sterile sample box from ibidi as part of their core sample program, so I obviously had to touch everything. The chamber slide is so squishy!

That's the exact problem I'm having! Thanks!

Looks like I was cleaning "the wrong end" of the joystick

Marzhauser Wetzlar joystick on a desk

Joystick keeps sticking. Anyone have suggestions on how to clean this other than moving it in all directions with a cotton swab shoved in?

Question: does anyone know about some "LLM-core facility" that provides "knowledge base" services to research labs? Would be great to learn more and have some feedback on the operation.

We have two funded postdoctoral positions available. Topics encompass:

-Next gen light-sheet fluorescence microscopy instrumentation

-Structured illumination microscopy and other approaches to extend the resolution limit.

-Nonlinear microscopy combined with adaptive optics / phase conjugation

I swear, only in my core do you walk into the conference room with a 18" cucumber and after the first question of what's up with your whole cucumber, you get asked can I have some of it try to clear it...

Thanks for letting me know!

I took morning childcare and my husband is doing afternoon childcare. This is what he is doing in our yard. Why do real snowdays not exist anymore? Stupid zoom...

Ok, one more dog in snow post and then back to the regular posts. This is my dog bouncing through the snow to get to the less deep area under the snow. She's 10 and had cancer, so not as graceful as she once was 😂

My dog, Ginger Snap, enjoyed the storm for about 10 minutes, then wanted to curl up on the couch with the blanket my mother-in-law knitted just for her.

Come on Harvard! Even Market Basket is closing!

Harvard: We are emailing you that there will be 15-20" of snow by tomorrow morning. We will NOT be closing.
Me: 👎

Coolest new feature from the Yokogawa HCA: changing color if the plate isn't on the loader correctly. Removes a lot of anxiety. 💯
