Can confirm, Mark Shapiro is on my ✈️ to Tampa...something big going down @BlueJays???

We'll be at #APS2026 from Apr 23-26, Minneapolis this year. Visit us at Booth #1026 to see our systems in person! 🕒 And don't miss our workshop with Dr. Bumsoo Ahn, “Unacylated Ghrelin Preserves Muscle Mass & Function” 🗓️ Fri, Apr 24, 11:45 AM CT | 📍Discovery Stage

📢 Join the Murine Muscle Mechanics Workshop for hands‑on training in skeletal muscle function! 🗓️ 2026 Dates: • Apr 29–May 1 • Jun 16–18 • Nov 4–6 Hosted by @ChrisPerryMito and @chenglabyorku 🔗 Register now: endpointpreclinical.com/training/murin… 💡 Save with multi-lab registrations

Day 2 of our #APS2026 Spotlight Series! 🔬 Last time: Muscle Growth Today: Hypoxia and Physiological Stress. See how ALZET® Osmotic Pumps and Aurora Scientific integrate for complex research 🤝 👉 Explore: alzet.com/aps aurorascientific.com/products/muscl…

📣 Exciting news: A new Dynamic Muscle Control software update is here! We’re thrilled to launch Version 6.1, shaped by user feedback, real-world insights, and a refreshed design to elevate your research experience. 🧵⬇️

Still running experiments with a 9V battery in your temperature controller? Many labs still use the Aurora Scientific 825A Thermocouple Thermometer/TEC Controller — but there’s now a simpler way to manage bath temperature without the battery swaps. aurorascientific.com/products/muscl…

The Lafayette Life Science Group is launching a pre-conference Spotlight Series for #APS2026! 🔬 Let's check out how ALZET® Osmotic Pumps & Aurora Scientific systems answer complex physiology questions. 👉 Explore the tools: alzet.com/aps aurorascientific.com

📐 Science, from every angle - no wasted beam time. The 840A BioVault lets you dissect, mount & seal tissue before you reach the beamline, allowing transport of samples anywhere. #MuscleBiology #XRayDiffraction Higher throughput. Lower barrier to SAXD. bit.ly/840A-BioVault

So far, we’ve explored how the brain keeps time, fights disease, encodes sensory info, and responds to metabolic stress. Today, we dive into the impact of chronic sleep deprivation (CSD) on brain health. How does it affect the brain and gut? #BrainAwarenessWeek #SleepDisruption

Better visuals. Better communication. Better science. As a scientist-first company, we offer FREE, downloadable, publication-ready scientific drawings alongside our research equipment. #ScienceCommunication #OpenScience #SciArt 🎨 Explore drawings aurorascientific.com/support/docume…

In honor of #BioVault, watch the full interview with @AMBiotechTeam as @HesselAnthony and @KhoiD_Nguyen share its origin and benefit to muscle research, future directions in x-ray diffraction, and more! Check it out! 👇 Post: bit.ly/asi-amb-collab… 840A: bit.ly/840A-BioVault

Yesterday, we explored how the brain maintains internal time. Now we shift to another challenge: how diseases like glioblastoma and medulloblastoma disrupt neural systems. These tumors actively evade immune destruction, complicating treatment. #BrainAwarenessWeek #NeuroOncology

Every March, Brain Awareness Week highlights the global effort to advance public understanding of brain science. Neuroscience impacts everything from sleep and memory to cancer and mental health. #BrainAwarenessWeek #Neuroscience

Ecstatic to see this launched! Thanks to our amazing partners @AMBiotechTeam, Anthony and Khoi for their support throughout.

We are glad to support Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's Ion Channels in Synaptic & Neural Circuit Physiology Course covering how properties of ion channels enable neurons to perform physiological function, course meets 6/1 - 6/21. Registration ends 3/13. meetings.cshl.edu/courses.aspx?c…

❌ Hint 4 of 4: X Marks the Spot Earlier, we hinted at the spark, shared a name, and alluded to its architecture. Now X-ray diffraction reveals hidden structures and patterns. If you’ve been following the clues, this is where it comes together. Can you guess what’s coming?

Rare Disease Day reminds us that “rare” doesn’t mean small. We’re proud to amplify this campaign each year and support researchers advancing diagnosis and treatment! 🌍 300M people worldwide live with a rare disease 🧬 6,000+ conditions #RareDiseaseDay rarediseaseday.org

Aurora Scientific proudly supports #RareDiseaseDay 🌍 Today, we unite with the global community to raise awareness for the 300 million people worldwide living with rare disease. Key stats • 6,000+ rare diseases identified • 70% are genetic • 1 in 20 people affected worldwide

🗝️ Hint 3 of 4: Building a Case for Science Earlier, we hinted at the origin and shared a name. At Aurora, "building a case for science" means muscling through challenges. If you’ve been following our hints, this is where theory meets architecture. Can you guess what’s coming?
