In Fiji, the 'Image Stabilizer' and 'Fast4DReg' plugins are my choices

Fun fact: most of the sophisticated live/super-resolution correlative microscopy we do rests on a (less buggy now) ImageJ macro that transforms stage positions between two microscopes #MicroscopyMonday

Today's ride across Haut-Var from Dragignan to Marseille

It was brilliant

A 125 km bike ride today is the perfect excuse to try that calories-galore pasta alla zozzona tonight cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1023...

We found a proper Greek koutouki in Marseille - and it's aptly called Koutouki

Mon plaisir coupable est de toujours placer un peu d'écriture inclusive dans mes messages sur le groupe Whatsapp "Les voisins de la résidence"

or maybe Jesus

Not so messy given that amatriciana, gricia, cacio e pepe and carbonara are all permutations of 3-4 ingredients out of 5. But delicious for sure!

New preprint out!
In this study, we introduce NanoFLex, a strategy that combines #HaloTag variants with #nanobodies -based immunolabeling to enable rapid, OneStep-IF #lifetime #multiplexing. Possible due to SmartSecondaries fused to #HaloTag from @nanotag.bsky.social: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Finally got the SIM perfectly calibrated on all four channels 🌈 (movie shows a 15x15 μm area inside a cell) #realtimemicroscopy

I'm not the one advocating that everything including writing can be outsourced

I firmly hold the opinion that a PI should actually do something other than managing people and having ideas

let's say it's added to the looooooong list 😅
