Preprint is out! Our BakingTray software turns a 2-photon microscope into a serial-section tomography system for automated whole-organ imaging. ~€35k to convert an existing scope. 11 systems worldwide, >7,000 samples at SWC alone #neuroskyence #microscopy www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Very excited about this preprint! We present a new method to flexibly align your 2P imaging plane with curved biological structures. Great work of PhD student Shinjini Ghosh, with Fritjof Helmchen, @nvladimus.bsky.social, and many others! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Looks like just more of the same from here...

Remember how power bricks used to be bigger, heavier, hotter, and less powerful than power modern power supplies? The SNES power supply can provide 8.5W and this much smaller GaN USB-PD can supply 65W, at greater efficiency. Well, the same thing is probably going to happen to grid transformers. 🧵

Burham can't control the narrative. There will be thousands of screenings of this plus Q&A all over the country. Let's hope he realises that sooner rather than later otherwise it will get very tedious very quickly www.nebriefing.org

"A water industry source said these plans were not published to avoid alarming the public. The government said the plans were not published for security reasons" Following Starmer's line, Burnham & Co. refuse to inform the public about what's coming Insane www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Successive governments' failure to ensure our food supply is secure goes beyond complacency and into outright denial. This is not a game. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Excited to share our work now in Nature Methods! We wrote this manuscript to help others better analyze and interpret calcium imaging data. As a central aspect, we show why nonlinear behavior of calcium indicators matters in practice. Very happy about this work!

Think of Trump as a boil — an infected pustule on the giant ass of the American system. The boil would have become infected eventually because of deeper flaws in how the system has evolved. Let me introduce you to the first piece of why our system is failing: Jamie Dimon.

Can't get any more blunt than this @andyburnham.bsky.social As a matter of considerable urgency you need to get the full, unredacted, report out there for everyone to see www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

I assumed everyone knew this was predicted to occur when they sacked 50% of the NOAA staff and started canceling weather balloons that collect data last year; but if not. 👇

At Cosyne, Chris Olah from Anthropic told us that neuroscientists had “3-4 years left to make a contribution” Why was not clear. Perhaps he was hinting at the below graph accompanying today’s Claude Science launch. Apparently we’ll all be obsolete soon.

Our new preprint 'NucleiSky enables cross-scale multimodal registration of microscopy data using nuclei constellations' is out! 🎉Check out @guijacquemet.bsky.social post first to learn more🤩 In this 🧵 I’ll share how we used NucleiSky in smart microscopy and how you can install and try it yourself 👇

The top frame is from 2015, when French meteorologists did a “forecast” from a #climate heated August 2050 - a warning on what could possibly happen in 35 years time. Bottom frame: well, it’s happened in barely a decade, only it’s already *much* worse than predicted. It’s a runaway train.

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

Functional imaging of nine distinct neuronal populations under a miniscope in freely behaving animals

Pleased to say that Jonas Hartmann (bs-less) and I have finally released DySTrack (“diss track”) - Dynamic Sample Tracking. It’s a Python-based, modular tool that brings smart microscopy to everyday imaging on commercial systems. Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... [1/6]

Doing a linear stretch on these images shows how dramatic the "edits" were, revealing the deception in clear terms. This should be a complete scandal for Thermo Fisher and more people in the biosciences should be talking about it.

Am I following this correctly? They rioted because they *won*?

TL;DR: We've identified more than 100 cases of apparent manipulation in Thermo Fisher Scientific's antibody verification data. @sholtodavid.bsky.social @johanduchene.bsky.social reeserichardson.blog/2026/05/28/h...

New research from MPFI led by @maryphillips.bsky.social in collaboration with @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social and MetaCell introduces an imaging pipeline called Neuroplex, enabling simultaneous monitoring of neural activity across 9 neuronal populations in freely moving mice. buff.ly/HkgsSZU

Surprised to discover that Thermo Fisher appears to show a fake western blot for the validation of one of their p53 antibodies. I've added a diagram to show the very similar bands. This does not appear to be one of the "published figures" but their own internal data.

New method for identifying the fine transcriptomic types of thousands of neurons recorded in vivo!

New from the lab: BARseq3! Barcodes + high efficiency spatial transcriptomics and translatomics in the same cells, or just a nice spatial transcriptomics assay. All in a modular, expandable system to enable truly multimodal measurements. Check it out: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
