🧵1/3 I’m curious about how researchers, particularly new investigators, manage when they lack access to specialized equipment in their lab.

It was a pleasure delivering the Altschul Visiting Lectureship at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. I thoroughly enjoyed discussing spatial biology, cancer research, and career paths with the students. Many thanks to @Anand Krishnan and colleagues for the kind invitation!

No matter how you distinguish background from foreground in multiplexed imaging, always verify visually. Errors are surprisingly common, even in published papers. This is especially critical when using publicly available image derived data without access to the actual images. #spatialbiology 🧪

Fun fact: Apparently here's the image from a presentation @jay.bsky.team gave to Twitter, representing the Twitter bird freed from a closed platform to fly in Bluesky's open ecosystem.

May I ask what’s the price for running 10X Flex single cell sequencing at your institutions core facility? (Excluding the sequencing cost)? #singlecell #transcriptomics

ROSIE by Wu et al. is one of the promising advancements in the field, using AI to predict multiplex protein biomarkers from H&E images.🧪

Wonderful work by Punovuori et al.—They demonstrate that the interplay between partial EMT states and cancer-associated fibroblasts significantly enhances tumor aggressiveness in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. 🧪

I just learned that BlueSky was developed by Jack Dorsey, the founder of #Twitter. It started as a project to create a decentralized version of Twitter itself—no wonder it feels so similar to the early days of Twitter!

if you’re trying to find the people you follow on twitter, check out @kawamataryo.bsky.social’s www.sky-follower-bridge.dev it found a full 1/3 of the people i follow. impressive work by the developer, but also impressive to see that that many twitter people are setting up here.
