Mitos are my favorite to image. Some days I miss doing my own experiments and imaging mitochondria. Captured this while gaining confidence on our new system. Green=Fis1 mutant; magenta=Drp1. Captured on our new Dragonfly 620 SR (decon applied). #dragonfly #mitochondria #spinningdiskconfocal #hilllab

Inspiring the next generation of scientists. My daughter’s latest creation to decorate my office.

So proud of grad student Lauren Yunker for applying new methods of image analysis to segmenting protein casts in kidney sections. We worked together to get her started and it was fun to see her transition from manually tracing in #imagej to using #QuPath journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Happy Holidays! An oldy but a goody from my first years in the Hill Lab where I collected an entire alphabet from yeast mitochondrial fission mutants.

Very pretty user problem today. Initially thought a weird software glitch, but nope. These are volume views of an organoid…guesses on the issue?

1 yr ago we bid farewell as we both set out on the next phases of our careers: me staying at MCW managing the High Resolution Imaging Core and Blake moving to Colorado as chair of Pharm/Tox @ Anschutz. Art work by @neurowoodworks.bsky.social celebrating all our work on mitochondrial segmentation.

Didn’t know this was a thing to dread but it is now. Less than 6 month old scope with faulty board that needs the entire base sent to NY for repair. Luckily I’m told the repair is very quick.
