A remarkable day for #Lebanon 🇱🇧🇻🇦 as the country welcomes His Holiness #Pope Leo XIV. As the late Pope John Paul II once said, ‘Lebanon is more than a country, it is a message.’ A message of #peace and #coexistence that still matters. I wish I could have been in Lebanon today.

It gets worse, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is going to teach them Al-jabr (algebra) 🙅🏻‍♂️💁🏻‍♂️

Great few hours spent in #Soglio, #Switzerland 🇨🇭 what a place. Perched above Val Bregaglia, surrounded by #ancient chestnut trees planted by Protestant refugees, and facing #sunsets that set the #Sciora peaks on fire.

💻 Computer’s been updating for 25 minutes: perfect excuse to get some morning #exercise in.
Sometimes #technology decides when it’s your turn to #reboot.

What a fantastic 2 days at Frontiers in Neurophotonics. Huge thanks to the organizers for putting it together and for inviting me. It was great catching up with our friend Markus Sauer and Le epic @christlet.bsky.social, & shared a taxi ride with THE @jungmannlab.bsky.social 🧡

#GEF25 Concluding Plenary Lecture with the wonderful Virginie Hamel.
September 30, 2025 at 10:29 AM
In the #GEF25 Presidential Lecture, chaired by @eboyden3.bsky.social, Stefan Hell presented a conceptual breakthrough, a dramatic shift from the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry on super-resolution: fluorophores no longer need on–off states, effectively nullifying the diffraction barrier.

On behalf of the #GEF25 organizing team, Silvio and I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to @abberior.rocks for their partnership and for helping make GEF25 a success for the community.

Three paid #internships in my group: 2 in #AI, 1 in #biology.
Interns work on high-quality research and often co-author papers .

Details in flyers. Deadline: Sept 25, 2025.

Small-cell lung #cancer doesn’t just grow, they #hijack #neurons. With Filippo Beleggia, Vignesh Sakthivelu, Silvio Rizzoli & colleagues, we show tumors form synapses with vagal & cortical neurons, tapping glutamatergic drive to fuel proliferation. Interrupting helps

For anyone joining #GEF25: here’s an #AI-simulated step-and-repeat #stage. A backlit #blue banner, warm #wooden walls, and two 45° white light projectors. Match your #outfit, get #fashionable 😉
Who said scientists can’t have #style?

Grateful to see our work on ONE microscopy featured on the cover of Wiley Microscopy and Analysis. ONE aims to make molecular resolution accessible to labs with fluorescence imaging, contributing to the broader effort to democratize super-resolution.

Two inspiring weeks in #Göttingen hosting colleagues from #Germany, #Egypt, #Lebanon, #France and #Argentina, including @kurianlab.bsky.social , Münch lab, #GUC interns and @wellcometrust i4A visitors. Focused on ONE microscopy technology, training, and new collaborations.

Very grateful to my team!

Excited to have 3i Intelligent Imaging Innovations @the.3i.social on board as a sponsor for #GEF25, celebrating 10 years of Expansion Microscopy.

Great to team up with cutting-edge imaging specialists as we look ahead.

I was thrilled to be the guest on Ep 23 of the Neuroscience & Beyond podcast where we discuss Science, ONE Microscopy, AI, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Science Politics and Corruption. We didn't shy away from the hot topics, having an engaging and thought-provoking conversation.

Episode soon.
