PAPER OUT ✨ How can we make smart microscopy more interoperable? What are the technical and cultural challenges? 30+ people from academia and industry propose a roadmap: doi.org/10.1515/mim-... Also a review of applications and repo of implementations. Join the discussion! smartmicroscopy.github.io
Not something you see in textbooks very often: tripolar mitosis.
Hello epithelial mechanics fans!! I’m Juanma @juanmagararc.bsky.social 👋 I work on cell mechanics (see celldynamicslab.com) and use Flipper-TR FLIM to probe membrane biophysics in cells.
Join me on this tour about Flipper: what it measures, strengths, advice, cool case studies, and cute drawings!
ow noooo I missed it! :'(
will it be made available somewhere online? :)
Cow Tools!
We have lived alongside cows for nearly 10,000 years.
We breed them and exploit them
It is now, only now, that we have discovered THEY CAN USE TOOLS
Here I describe our study
(paper) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... in @currentbiology.bsky.social
with @auersperga.bsky.social
Congrats this is really cool!!!
We just released a new major version of TrackMate (v8), the cell and organelle tracking plugin of Fiji.
It ships many new features, detailed below, but that are articulated around the following:
Thank you Mathieu :))
Hot out of press!!!
Studying chloroplast organisation from the perspective of packing problems in confinement.
chloroplasts show multiple configurations for different purposes (optimal light uptake in dim light vs. light avoidance in strong light for photo protection)🌿
www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
This is so cool! Congrats! :)
Definitely something to try out!
Just won the best poster award for our new work on Chloroplast Packing at the Dutch Biophysics meeting (NWO, BioPM). It was a great collab with Eric Weeks and @mazi1.bsky.social
The Paper is also accepted now, so double good news :)
Stay tuned!!
Of course!!! :)
The Bioluminescent garment is now in Kunsthal Rotterdam in the big Iris van Herpen exhibition
< SCULPTING THE SENSES >

Extremely happy to have been there at the premiere and opening!
I recommend everyone interested in science or fashion design to visit!!
🩵👗
Thank you so much! 😁😊
Beyond happy!
Yesterday I obtained my 🔥PhD🔥 cum laude🔥(highest award) with my work "On Light and Life - Physics of Chloroplast Motion and Bioluminescence"🌿✨
Thanks to so so so many people involved in the work and that have been a huge support to me during this time - especially @mazi1.bsky.social

Our science photo book The Radiant Sea is out Sept 2nd!!
30 years of research, 10 years of "we should", and a year of collating pix and writing.
Sönke and I show (mostly for the first time) images of how organisms produce, use, and interact with light in the sea. #bioluminescence #fluorescence 🦑🧪🌊
Upcoming Symposium!
Physics of Adaptation and Decision making in Biology!
When: September 16
Where: Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Join us here: www.fluidlab.nl/padm25
Speakers:
Ray Goldstein, Sujit Datta, @thomasshimizu.bsky.social, @mirnakramar.bsky.social, @blarson.bsky.social, me
it was already fun to look around the documentation for cmap (cmap-docs.readthedocs.io)
but @grosoane.bsky.social just added a very cool feature to toggle between color vision deficiencies. Watch your perceptually uniform color maps gain some kinks 😂
as a mild deutan myself, I appreciate it! 🙏
Automated optogenetic control of hundreds of cells in parallel. Each cell is individually steered, collectively acting as a "tissue printer". Preprint & code out! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
This is an airyscan confocal movie of mitochondria (white) moving around in a mouse astrocyte. Actin filaments are in orange and microtubules are in blue.

We developed image analysis tools to capture the nematic orientation field of 3D tissue surfaces. Tested on epithelial aggregates, zebrafish hearts, myoblasts on spheres & micro-vessels, we combined soft matter physics with exp. biology.
Ow this is exactly the hashtag I should have used :))
Exactly! That's the idea: the dress however is already a month old and the cells do not glow as much anymore, unfortunately. We try to keep it as comfy for the algse as possible and the gel is mostly salt water.
But still if you move it or deform it enough then the cells will respond and emit light.
Yay! My first short TV interview (in Dutch)...
Featuring our work on bioluminescence in dinoflagellates and our collaboration with fashion designer Iris van Herpen and Biodesigner Chris Bellamy for Paris Haute Couture week!

Paper in Nature 150 years ago. Beats reading any single-cell experiment…
A very late #FluorescenceFriday.
Reposting one of my favorite timelapses from the past year: EB3-mScarlet3 in a HeLa cell, look at those microtubules grow!
Nice congrats Claire 😊
