Hi! This is the archive of my tweets on Twitter/X from 2009 to 2024. I still post on X from time to time but only for announcements about lab news with no engagement. Sadly, this archive only contains my own posts, so the immense wisdom of others that made the value of conversations is gone.

New collaboration out! We were happy to host Yuhao Han from @MarinaMikhaylo8 's lab for a couple of months and look at dendrite-born axon initial segments. Great multicolor SMLM from our @abbelight setup thanks to the work of postdoc Christopher Parperis t.co/OjQtQnglZO

Had a great time at the "Rethinking Synapses" students and postdoc seminar in Berlin! Thank you Bas von Bommel and Julia Bär for hosting me, great to chat with Andrew Plested, @EickholtL and @MarinaMikhaylo8

Are pre/postsynaptic nano-columns more like nano-cyphers, with AMPA receptors gathering in circle around the synaptic vesicle exocytosis point? Powerful combination of GluA2 knock-in mouse and cryoET from @rgsheld et al. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/202…

Finally found a way to remove all the blank lines when making @Joplin notes from an email. This is an AppleScript in @CotEditor (beyond that, it's a great lightweight open source text/code editor on Mac)

For #FluorescenceFriday, here's the full 13Kx11K pixels multicolor mosaic (scaled down for posting). There's a small neuron on top of that giant glia, but you wouldn't know it from the actin staining!

Wow. I used to have 800 - 1000K impressions/months with less followers before it became X, now it's ~100K. No wonder why it sounds kinda empty these days

This is so sad. Though we never met, David was among the people that made Twitter a great place for cell biologists back in the days twitter.com/cshperspectives/status/…

Look at that absolute unit of a glia (pic is 170x160 µm, 4900x5200 pixels). Good sample to test my new mosaic SIM workflow! #realtimemicroscopy

IMO a study with good intentions that is based on fatally flawed individualistic premises, assuming Nobel winners are exceptional geniuses without whom Science would not advance as fast, and that the issue is to get lone geniuses from all backgrounds to get Nobel prizes t.co/zaVuJKPKq3

Reminder that we have an open postdoc position starting Jan 1st. If you like cytoskeleton and microscopy, apply because we will discuss the first round of interviews soon!

A nice @Yokogawa_LS SoRa movie for #TimelapseTuesday. I like how you can see mitochondria (?) as darker structures in the thin areas of this glial cell expressing fluorescent ß2-spectrin
