The descent is over, Labous is pulling for Vollering. Sadly this means that Sarah Gigante will lose the podium as expected. She's alone with 45 km to go. 💔 #TDFF2025

My PhD project is out as a preprint! We combined 2P and synchrotron X-ray to understand mouse olfactory bulb circuits, linking physiology to structure in 3 animals! doi.org/10.1101/2025.0… 🙌 @Trickymons, @APacureanu, @AndreasTSchafer, @esrfsynchrotron, @TheCrick

The 2025 Gordon Research Conference on *Tissue Microstructure Imaging* program is out! This unique meeting format offers a unifying look at tissue microstructure based on #MRI, #US, #optics, #EM , #xray, #photoacoustic, etc. Join us *July 12-18*! And please RT! 🙏 More info 👇

Hi @SfNtweets, Neurons of the same olfactory circuit in the mammalian brain share firing properties while showing individual traits. More about it today PM, poster E37 (PSTR341.09). @YuxinZhang97 @APacureanu @AndreasTSchafer @TheCrick @esrfsynchrotron @psich_en #SfN24

Big news! The fly connectome is featured on the cover of a special edition of Nature. This is all possible thanks to the collaboration of 292 members of The FlyWire Consortium! nature.com/immersive/d428… Check out the thread for an overview of the 9 #flywire papers published today

@voigtvision @EngertLab @MCB_Harvard Awesome, congrats Fabian! ✨

I am thrilled to announce that I've been awarded a Branco Weiss Fellowship to push the frontiers of imaging neuronal activity during social interactions @EngertLab @MCB_Harvard and to support starting my own lab! 🥳🐟🔬🔭 #Microscopy brancoweissfellowship.org/fellow/voigt/

Last experiment for this summer @esrfsynchrotron @id16a with help from #cryo wizard @benoitgallet 🧠❄️ The meditation session before proceeding to the Olympic level precision sample transfer😌

#preprint: X-rays can resolve #ultrastructure in #tissue. When studying the brain, #Xrays can detect #synapses. doi.org/10.1101/2023.1… Ana Diaz @AdrianAWanner @AndreasTSchafer @TheCrick @psich_en @esrfsynchrotron @uclnpp @EPFL_en

@sylvaingigan Sometimes they wake up at the end of the talk and ask pertinent questions. 😁

It happened to me once, with the nice twist that it was a Nobel prize winner 😅

Solving new pieces of the puzzle - how neural circuits control walking and flying.🔬 Congrats @casa_tuthill @darbly for bringing all this together. rdcu.be/dLZgh rdcu.be/dLZgz

Hope it will be helpful!! Here is our detailed sample prep using HPF and FS for TEM, FIB-SEM and chemical imaging!! protocols.io/view/cryo-fixa… Long term collaboration with @JohanD13016359 @SchoehnGuy and @IBS_Grenoble

Our new paper is out today in @Nature , showing that bumblebees possess the cognitive capacity for some of the key ingredients of cumulative culture, previously though to be unique to humans nature.com/articles/s4158…

📣 We're excited to announce the opening of multiple faculty positions! Do you use and/or develop artificial intelligence methods and mechanistic mathematical models to address fundamental questions in biology? We'd love to hear from you. (Please share far and wide 🙏)

"Integrating cellular electron microscopy with multimodal data to explore biology across space and time"🔬👩‍💻🌌⏳ cell.com/cell/fulltext/… Our new review is online @CellCellPress. Big thanks to our amazing co-authors @computingCaitie @svenklumpe @RommieAmaro @KukulskiWanda @EM_STP

@VilledeGrenoble Bonjour, pourriez-vous expliquer pourquoi les arbres qui longent la piste cyclable à coté de l’Isère au niveau de la rue des Martyrs sont coupés en ce moment ?

🟠 Vigilance crue orange Fermeture pistes cyclables et voies piétonnes le long de l'Isère à cause de la montée des eaux.

📢 pls RT: just > week to apply for a T/TT group leader position with a #connectomics focus! The LMB is a wonderfully supportive place to grow a group with genuine commitment to enabling long-term research with long-term impact. Please share / contact me. #neurotwitter #STEMJobs

I'll be at SfN Mon-Wed next week - let me know if you'd like to catch up! ☕️🍩 I am also hiring at all levels in my new lab at Yale 👉kuanlab.org. If you're interested in multiscale connectomics, let's find a time to chat!

Hard X-ray imaging of biological soft tissues symposium: crick.ac.uk/whats-on/hard-… Tuesday 17th October. - What can current #Xrays resolve? - What is at reach in the near future? - Best data strategies? Organised by @AndreasTSchafer, @EM_STP and myself #CrickXray2023 1/3

Come celebrate the launch of the BioVisionCenter at our kick-off symposium on November 9 and 10! 🎉 ema.uzh.ch/R9JJM And if you are into coding, make it a full week of fun by also joining the hackathon (November 6-8) ema.uzh.ch/RVKM2

Scientists from @UW (@casa_tuthill ) with @APacureanu at ESRF have found how fruit flies 🪰sense leg movements. Their research is published in @NeuroCellPress ▶️bit.ly/3Rgo82L
