The key issue is that the authors who try to make comparisons don't have access to all of the systems and can't make apples-to-apples comparisons. But they present an illusion of that, using anecdotes in place of rigorous comparisons. Which makes the comparisons wrong. (2/3)

Comparing multiphoton (2p/3p) imaging systems is often done poorly. labrigger.com/blog/2026/01... E.g., PSFs can be measured differently by different labs, staining quality is by far the biggest determinate on how multiphoton images will look at depth, and so forth. (1/3)

Hot, humid conditions during pregnancy undermine child health much more than heat alone
Humidity worsens the impacts of heat exposure during pregnancy, quadrupling its effect on child health. By focusing on temperature only, we may be underestimating the true impacts of extreme weather.
