Even more excited — our paper is featured on the cover of Science Advances!
Huge thanks to @alexandrejan.bsky.social who took this incredible photo of a ctenophore (aka comb jelly) and the editors.
Here’s the cover 👇

After 5 years of developing, a new preprint from the lab - introducing our workflow for comparative insect connectomics, aimed at democratizing connectomics. @erc.europa.eu @lundvision.bsky.social @biologylu.bsky.social Read it here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Our article on how to use micropatterned presynapses-on-glass is out in its final form in the latest issue of the Journal of Neuroscience @sfnjournals.bsky.social: www.jneurosci.org/content/46/8...
The cover went to the special section on social neuroscience, so here's our #notthecover attempt

Great to see this officially out: An mTurquoise2-Based Glucose Biosensor - works in yeast & mammalian cells and is compatible with FLIM: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
🔵mTurquoise2-based glucose biosensors TINGL and THINGL from @joachimgoedhart.bsky.social and the Teusink Lab!
Find the plasmids here: www.addgene.org/browse/artic...
I'd argue that a bit more careful public messaging is in order. Not taking anything away from the authors, but lipid regulation of EGFR has been described: "Regulation of human EGF receptor by lipids" by @lipid.bsky.social in 2011. www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...
Amazing science on beautiful Spetses 🤩

Navigate can now run entirely with ASI's Tiger Controller, eliminating the NI data acquisition board altogether, simplifying the optoelectronics, and providing deterministic frame-to-frame operation. Documentation coming soon... github.com/TheDeanLab/n...
I will be recruiting two postdocs early next year.
- One image analyst
- one biologist interested in working on lymphatics!
Reach out if you are interested 👍
We also tried it recently and indeed, it blinks nicely without any smelly buffers or extra stuff added. Makes SMLM sample preparation a breeze. I hope soon new additional colors will be discovered, apart from the far red.

Are you interested in cytoskeleton and looking for a postdoc position? I will be advertising positions in the new year but happy to chat in person if you are attending ASCB @ascbiology.bsky.social in Philadelphia. Just drop me a line.
I just published: ERC-Plus: jackpot science or missed chance to fix academia?
My reflections on ERC-Plus, Europe’s newest ultra-competitive research grant and what it tells us about the academic culture we’re building.

#membrane seminars are back this THURSDAY for a super session with @dr-downes.bsky.social from the @giuliazanetti.bsky.social lab and Xin Zhou from the Ikonen lab! @felixmendu.bsky.social @ishier.bsky.social
Worth about 200M€ = 150 ERC StG!
Not convinced this is a good move for Europe research!
Your periodic reminder that science is not done by a few selected "stars scientists". Science is done by hundred of thousands. Siloed money mean a few flashy discoveries and a lot of waste. Want to change things? Make funding accessible and stop funding calls with less than 2% success rate.
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:
• you don’t care about publishing in our crappy predatory journal
@andrewplested.bsky.social would have enjoyed this
Recent interview for @jcellsci.bsky.social. Thx for important services JCS & @biologists.bsky.social provide to the cell science community. Glad we could share aspects on #50yearDGZ @dgz.bsky.social, @dfg.de @hetcci.bsky.social SPP2493, #CGBM & my great team @uni-saarland.de
