Important topic of benchmarking #STED resolution! Making sure to get the best resolution out of your #STED microscope, observing it over time and identifying when a service visit and alignment are needed. #MLMCSTED2025 @canadabioimaging.bsky.social @bioimagingna.bsky.social #imagingthefuture

Brazil has been through this and Argentina is in the middle of it. So sad and short sighted. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

‘Scienticide’ in Argentina sparks huge protest by researchers

Hundreds of activists wearing gas masks took to the streets to call out their government for slashing science funding.

Your yearly reminder to acknowledge the core facilities you use and their staff scientists in your papers. These scientists are a crucial part of the scientific ecosystem and to continue to exist they need tangible credit for their work. Plus their associated expertise adds credibility to your work.
