We heard the story of lightsheet microscopy in Colombia from Iván Rey Suarez, before moving on to discuss how bioimaging networks such as @latambioimaging.bsky.social act as catalysts to overcome challenges. Learn about Iván’s career: focalplane.biologists.com/2023/11/14/a... #BiologistsWorkshops

Our morning session started with talks on the open science ecosystem from Tobias Wenzel & Hernán Grecco. Both speakers emphasised the importance of training. Quote of the day so far, “By democratising science, we strengthen democracy!” #BiologistsWorkshops focalplane.biologists.com/2022/10/11/a...

Dina Arvanitis @camatnu.bsky.social presented fluorescence microscopy 101, discussing the pros and cons of different methodologies. Take home messages: fancier microscopy ≠ better research; think NA, NA, NA! #BiologistsWorkshops

After 20 hours of travelling, some dinner with Constadina Arvanitis @camatnu.bsky.social, & a few hours of sleep, we'll be heading to Banos soon! We were planning to share a picture of the view as we descended into Quito but unfortunately a thick layer of cloud had other ideas. #BiologistsWorkshops

So humbled and grateful for this opportunity, but want to emphasize that none of this would be possible without @marianadeniz.bsky.social who not only had the idea and did the work for the nomination, but saw in me something that I did not. It has been an honor to work with and learn from her. (1/2)
