Do they resonate with what you do? Are there exciting areas that could be added? Have your say, will only take a few min - be part of shaping the future direction of UK PoL research!

📰🔬⚡️🧐ICYMI: We released #PhotoFiTT last week, a new approach to measuring and constraining #phototoxicity in live cell #microscopy experiments. Find out why you should avoid using kill'o'Watts/cm2 illumination in experiments... biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

If you are in UK physics of life community, really important to engage with this, deadline August 15th!

Just 1 week left until abstract deadline for Single Molecule Bacteriology III - dont miss out!!

Interested in doing a PhD in #NMR and #smFRET? We are looking for a PhD candidate to study intrinsically disordered proteins using integrated spectroscopic approaches FMP Berlin .

Spaces are becoming scarce, but registration is still possible! 👇👇👇

Outstanding opportunity 👇

Truly sad that three months after promising to do better BioRender is still interfering with both publication and preprinting

Latest #CDlab paper online in ACS Nano: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Here in a collaboration with SonjaSchmid, our joint postdoc Chenyu Wen developed theory to describe capture and escape of proteins in a nanopore - and experimentally tested this using dCas9/RNA/DNA. Have a read!

The book is out today. Nice birthday present for me 🍸. Made a tiny contribution to one chapter but can't wait to read the rest from some experts in the field Technician Commitment 👇

🚀 The Segment Anything Model (SAM) has been upgraded to SAM2, featuring an efficient image encoder for segmenting images and videos. But does SAM2 outperform SAM1 in medical image and video segmentation? We're thrilled to present our paper "Segment Anything in Medical Images

Deadline for UK Physics of Life survey midday 22 August: a real chance to shape the research community and your own future, a fantastic investment return for 5 minutes outlay! BBS Séamus Holden Pietro Cicuta 🌍 🐟🐟🕯🇪🇺 🇮🇹 Steven F. Lee Achillefs Kapanidis Ricardo Henriques BioImagingUK

Important insights into mechanism of FtsZ ring assembly in bacterial cell division. Beautiful computation driven project led by Christian Vanhille Campos and Andela Saric, obtaining fundamental results that were simply impossible to access with experiments alone, was a pleasure to contribute!

For all #smFRET aficionados. Deep-LASI (Lamb lab) does basically everything: channel mapping, reading raw data, generating time traces, classifications, histograming, accurate FRET, analysis of dynamics and all for up to three colors. 🤯
