The June issue is live nature.com/nbt/volumes/41… Our cover features an expansion microscopy technique developed by Klimas et al. that retains nucleic acids, proteins and lipids without the need for a separate anchoring step go.nature.com/3Iesy5L
Unprecedented views of the interior of cells and other nanoscale structures are now possible thanks to innovations in expansion microscopy by @huailang's lab. cmu.edu/mcs/news-event…
The press release: eurekalert.org/news-releases/… And our Magnify website is up! magnify.mcs.cmu.edu/news/ This is impossible without the heroic efforts of @OpticalComplex @GallagherCMU, the whole team and supports @CmuScience @CMU_Bio @NIH_CommonFund 🙏

New Year, New Paper! Congrats everyone!
We reported a new nanofabrication method @ScienceMagazine! Our lab collaborated with Shih-Chi Chen's lab @CUHKengineering to fabricate very finely detailed objects with femtosecond light sheets and nanoparticle-laden hydrogels. A thread. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Ever wonder what would happen if tissue expansion marries Raman microscopy? Wonder no more! See how MAGNIFIERS unlock multiple new potentials on both techniques! A new door to Raman nanoscopy! Great collaboration with amazing @lixuess @TheMinLab @ChemColumbia @CMU_Bio @CmuScience

Our paper "#OptoGap" is finally out - it validates experimentally and computationally a quantitative method for electrical cell-cell coupling using #optogenetics. With Cookie Yu, @pmjboyle, @OpticalComplex, John Williams, @NTrayanova nature.com/articles/s4159…
Watching internet randos hatred for hedge funds supercede their disdain for GameStop is a sight to behold.
If Redditors rallying GameStop is unacceptable market manipulation, what would you call it when greedy Wall Street bankers gambled away our entire economy in 2008 and faced no consequences?
Damn, it's been a nice 24+ hours having a leader who respects science and isn't a white supremacist apologist.
During Wednesday's weekly briefing, Dr. Bogen shared a graphic she thought illustrated difficultly of maintaining pods or bubbles. Thank you to @thoughtsofaphd for making the graphic and allowing us to continue to share it! Stay safe and be kind.
Our paper in AJP-Heart. Thanks to PhD students Weizhen Li and Julie Han (Weizhen on the laptop while stuck in China, Julie on the left); project was started by @OpticalComplex. #optogenetics, all-optical #electrophysiology, WB & qPCR in small hiPSC-CM samples.

At this point it would be near impossible to convince me that GOP folks still supporting Trump and his stupid-coup actually give a damn about America and democracy.
Yesterday @CDCgov updated its guidance on cloth masks to add that they can protect the wearer as well as prevent that individual from infecting others. Our illustrated guide on face coverings offers best practices for personal protection. scientificamerican.com/article/how-to…
It's the coherent thoughts, lack of wannabe fascism, and compassion for me.
I'm proud to be part of the ~0.5% that helped flip PA.
