Insanely amazing! Whole body calcium imaging ⚡️⚡️🐠
Lighting up your screen: a larval zebrafish's cellular activity. Developed by researchers at our Janelia Research Campus, WHaloCaMP is a biosensor that detects calcium signals & offers a window into how cells & organs work together. 🎥 Helen Farrants, HHMI JRC

Science moves faster when knowledge is shared openly… Well said!
Science moves faster when knowledge is shared openly. From the time I entered graduate school, I became fascinated by what open sharing of data could do in fields as disparate as physics, art, and coding. Total strangers helping each other go further. Sharing knowledge openly is part of the ethos of the @AllenInstitute. Every year, millions of people use our open data and tools to power their research, to learn, and even to make art. We take on foundational projects that are needed and are too big for any single lab to tackle, and build them from day one to be shared. We need to share and work together to accelerate science for a healthier world. This #OpenScienceWeek, join me in celebrating the scientists and organizations everywhere who share their data, tools, and knowledge to accelerate discovery.

Congratulations to Ki Hong Lee & Moritz Jakab for their landmark paper in @NatureComms showing that endothelial cell Wnt-mediated angiocrine signaling in the liver is controlled by hemodynamic forces and not by oxygen gradients. Stunningly beautiful work! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Amazing opportunity and a great mentor! Highly recommended!
Our lab was awarded a 3 year Brain Initiative R21 to develop a pipeline for predicting where to cage neuropeptides. Looking for a postdoc with expertise in docking and cell culture. (See NIH reporter link in comments for more details). Please share!

We are so proud of Trevor and what he has achieved!
🎓Congratulations to Trevor Harriman, whose undergrad thesis work has been published in @BiophysJ Trevor examined how hallmark neurodegeneration proteins affect brain capillaries' ability to sense and respond to signals. 📰 Read the paper: cell.com/biophysj/fulltext/S…
