elifesciences.org/articles/1…... I am very excited to share with you our publication building Deep3DSIM microscope using adaptive optic. It allows imaging into an intact fly brain >130 microns with high quality 3DSIM as well as remote focusing without moving the objective or specimen.

my obituary to my PhD supervisor and close friend David Ish-Horowicz, a lovely supportive mentor and friend for many generations of scientists and spent 10 years in my lab after “retiring”. We’ll all miss him. Development (2024) 151 (21): dev204429. doi.org/10.1242/dev.204429

I am increasingly using blue sky social instead of X for obvious reasons to do with the nature of x’s owner. Please follow me there instead of here by joining blue sky and finding me: @ilandavis.bsky.social

Hi all I am at the neurofly conference in Birmingham (uk) and having a fab time listening to great Drosophila neuroscience talks from scientists all over Europe. Organised wonderfully by Alicia Hidalgo and colleagues. We did our PhDs in adjacent labs in oxford starting 1986.

Sad news. David Ish-Horowicz, our colleague and friend, died on Friday. He was instrumental in discovering the genetic basis of pattern formation and a pioneer of the field of mRNA localisation. A wonderfully supportive and inspirational mentor. We will all miss him.

Looks interesting.
We developed an excitation module for 3D multi-color MINFLUX that is simple, stable and cost-effective and will allow for ultra-fast MINFLUX with a high accuracy. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

This should settle the R vs Python debate. No way that R can make plots better than *these*! – at Colorado, USA
Very exciting news - Python is now available in the official version of Excel! Excel is the most widely used analytics tool in the World, and Python has become the most popular programming language for Data Science and Machine Learning tasks. 1/4

Number 8 is definitely true. I have written more than. 130 papers I. My career but am still learning each time. Hardest part is that theses days papers are rarely just 2 authors. each combination of authors requires a different set of team dynamics to complete the task.

#9: Not asking for writing training 💰 If you feel under-skilled at writing, ask your PI, department or grad school for funding to enrol in a scientific writing course. Many universities have funding available for professional development - you just have to make the ask!
