So happy I finally made the ILID-SspB Optogenetic system work in 🐸. Though not perfect and need some optimisations, it worked. Got the constructs from @joachimgoedhart.bsky.social and made it into a frog expression system. Here is the Opto-PH-Rho in action. It's real, guys!! #FluorescenceFriday

On Valentine’s day, 15 Assistant Professors at NIH who had started their research labs in the last 2 years were fired. Their scientific expertise was built over 10-12 years of training, most if not all of which was supported by NIH. The start up funds for their laboratories were paid by NIH
