🧵3/3 Are there alternatives to S10 grant for acquiring equipments?

🧵2/3 For large-scale experiments, one can often book core facility equipment, even if it requires planning months in advance due to high demand. However, for day-to-day tasks like troubleshooting or assay development, where frequent and short-term access is needed, how do people handle this?

🧵1/3 I’m curious about how researchers, particularly new investigators, manage when they lack access to specialized equipment in their lab.

It was a pleasure delivering the Altschul Visiting Lectureship at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. I thoroughly enjoyed discussing spatial biology, cancer research, and career paths with the students. Many thanks to @Anand Krishnan and colleagues for the kind invitation!

P.S- Unsupervised clustering does not solve the issue.

No matter how you distinguish background from foreground in multiplexed imaging, always verify visually. Errors are surprisingly common, even in published papers. This is especially critical when using publicly available image derived data without access to the actual images. #spatialbiology 🧪

Fun fact: Apparently here's the image from a presentation @jay.bsky.team gave to Twitter, representing the Twitter bird freed from a closed platform to fly in Bluesky's open ecosystem.

May I ask what’s the price for running 10X Flex single cell sequencing at your institutions core facility? (Excluding the sequencing cost)? #singlecell #transcriptomics
