Looks like someone is misusing GloBIAS and its president name to approach people for money transfers. Please note - GloBIAS will always send proper payment requests and has no need for members and volunteers to transfer money on their behalf.

"Imagine a DAPI-like stain, but for the extracellular matrix." That's basically how this work was pitched to me by Kayvon and Antonio a year or so ago. Now the final product really delivers. Read about their versatile label for ECM in living tissues here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How do you ensure the optics are aligned straight when building a microscope?

For lasers, I often use diaphragms, but again, how do you ensure they are at the exact same height and lateral position?
