So excited especially for Peter Hegemann to get the Nobel Prize for his contributions to Optogenetics! ongratulations also to Karl Deisseroth and Georg Nagel to a well-deserved prize. Did I mention basic science at Unis especially is underfunded and made these discoveries back in the day possible?

Yeah. I think I am going for the 15 Air… 14 is just not enough for me. I love my 15 Mac Pro 2017 (super heavy!) but needs an upgrade. I basically cannot install anything anymore without iOS support :( such a great machine and still works perfectly fine

Some people do their work and review twice as many papers they submit. Some people do not do their work. If we all did our work, the system would be in balance 🧘

Fran Bottanelli @franbottanelli.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

200 papers = should have reviewed 400 papers. I bet this person reviews 0. OR papers written via generative AI should be solely reviewed with QED! Your bad if you do not make the 1% if you have 200 chances! ALSO how the hell do you find the money to publish 200 papers. So wrong in so many ways

Super excited to share my postdoctoral work at @imbavienna.bsky.social @viennabiocenter.bsky.social - We discovered that some retrotransposons, or "jumping genes" 🧬, are able to spread from cell to cell via a new viral infectivity route. A short thread: 🧵👇 (1/7)

Here's a balanced account of where the microscopy community stands on AI use by this year's Small World in Motion winner. My main issue is that no one seems to have seen the original data despite requests (no mention of it being reviewed by the organizers) www.the-scientist.com/allegations-...

Microscopists raise concerns about inappropriate AI usage in Nikon's microscopy contest-winning video. Nikon stands their ground, citing no policy breach.

That’s why we always ship cells in flasks with medium now. They can be abandoned for a week and be ok.

In the future! Yesterday yes. I shipped Wed and arrived today. I was recommended to add the certificate of origin and etc of the FBS and somehow this is the first time I get something out of the EU without wasting a week of my time talking to FedEx

In a new preprint we provide evidence that biophysical properties of protein condensates can explain the order of events in the endocytic pathway, and that these events are tuned by protein condensate phosphorylation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Phosphoregulation of hierarchical protein condensate formation during clathrin-mediated endocytosis

The sequential assembly of over 50 proteins during clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) is well documented in yeast. However, the mechanisms governing this ordered recruitment remain poorly understood....
