We filmed platelet production to see how each person makes 100 BILLION of them a day. Platelets are tiny blood cells that prevent bleeding. They're made by giant cells in the bone marrow called megakaryocytes, but exactly how has been controversial… doi.org/10.1084/jem.20…

Follow me on Bluesky for (increasingly rare) microscopy and immunology content! bsky.app/profile/scicad… I miss having endless time for sharing creation in all its microscopic glory, but early parenthood is even better (most of the time). #microscopy #sciart #immunology

What's the craziest Cre/loxP strategy you've seen? I was sick of manually sketching out complex Cre/lox and Dre/rox recombination outcomes, so I created a little program to simulate them. Hope it saves you some time. cadaws.github.io/recombine/ #molecularbiology #cloning #genetics

Using advanced #imaging & AI, WEHI scientists uncovered how hormone-sensing breast cells divide, grow & move during puberty and pregnancy. This helps us understand how #breastcancer forms, especially in BRCA 1 & 2 carriers. @cellreports: cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Discover your immune system with our expert researchers at WEHI, Parkville on April 29th 10 am! Hear about visualising immunity, engineered immune cells, T cells and breast immunology. dayofimmunology.org.au #WEHIresearch @WEHI_research @calebadawson #DayOfImmunology

Get to know your immune system at one of our FREE upcoming events! The Day of Immunology is fast approaching and to celebrate we have events running in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, and Auckland. See the great opportunities and register at dayofimmunology.org.au

@Lisa_H_Amir @nhmrc Ooh nice find! This is very cool to see

Cover image looks familiar 😀 Yes, @calebadawson's images: ‘In Bloom’ – Breast tissue showing muscle-like cells wrapped around milk-producing alveoli #lactation @nhmrc

Breast cancer researcher @calebadawson was looking for something else when he stumbled on these fat cells lit up like glowing blue orbs. See more fascinating #ArtOfScience images: wehi.edu.au/artofscience #ScienceWeek

Brilliant talk from @AmandaOPhD on spatial transcriptomics to uncover an IgA plasma cell niche in the lung. doi.org/10.1038/s41588…

Impressive 3D Merfish from @Maurice_Y_Lee at the WEHI spatial transcriptomics symposium. Thanks for making the trip over to Aus!

New in @sciencemagazine we report a role of taurine deficiency as a driver of aging. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… youtu.be/dTdJQopKosw I thank all the collaborators and funders as well as my present and past institutions in USA, UK and India for supporting my team.

Thanks for having me @ajithvasanthan and @ONJCRI ! Thoroughly enjoyed the many chats and questions.

@DayofImmunology #microscopy of immune cells attacking breast cancer! T cells - purple and white, Macrophages - yellow #DayOfImmunology

#DayOfImmunology is tomorrow!🎉 Show us what #immunology looks like to you 📷 Getting vaccinated? Lab research? Time with loved ones helped by immunology? Eager for the next disease breakthrough? Immunology is important and impacts so many lives. #DoImmuno #ThankYouImmunology

Thank you @drchristonkin for stepping in for me 🤩 and presenting my talk so well at the very last min 👏 after my emergency wisdom tooth surgery! 😬🤐

@AulieTsee @WEHI_research @WEHI_Postdocs Thank you! Now we can relax and enjoy Perth 😁

Such a great way to end the last session of #ACMM27 conference. Fascinating talk by @calebadawson about decoding immune cell communication with beautiful images 🤩 @WEHI_research @WEHI_Postdocs

@ADLmicroimaging Nice to meet you too!

Met @calebadawson in person.

Beautiful talk by @aulietsee on #toxoplasma and #latticelightsheet at #ACMM27 Now time to enjoy the amazing Perth weather!

@TrumanLab I made mine as a microscopy gallery for outreach. calebadawson.com

I am leading a discussion soon with postdocs in my dept on the importance of setting up their own websites. Would any grad students or postdocs be willing to share the links for their own sites below that I can use as examples?

🥈2nd Place: Magalie BENARD, PRIMACEN, University of Rouen Image of a cellular interconnection between two human tumor cells whose cytoskeleton has been labeled with anti-tubulin, anti-vimentin antibodies and with Phalloidin probe. Imaged with confocal microscopy.

🥉3rd Place: Frédéric FERCOQ, PPL, Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle Stage 25 cuttlefish embryo (Sepia officinalis) observed under a confocal microscope. The cuttlefish was cleared and the tissue autofluorescence was captured.
