And don't miss Vivien Marx's wonderful technology feature on the topic nature.com/articles/s41592-0… @metricausa
3D-EM–based connectomics is Method of the Year 2025 @naturemethods 🎉 Our director Moritz Helmstaedter, founder of the world’s first “Dept. of Connectomics” @mh_lab @MpiBrain, outlines an optimistic future enabling large-brain Connectomic Screening. bit.ly/3XVIccW
Also newly published: Helmstaedter's review on Synaptic-Resolution Connectomics in Nature Reviews Neuroscience: nature.com/articles/s41583-0… @NatRevNeurosci. Great time to catch up on this exciting field in Neuroscience! @mh_lab
Don’t miss the Nanosympsium NANO024 – Connectomics at #SfN2025!
📍San Diego Convention Center, Room 33
⏰ 8 - 11:30 AM
12 speakers from academia & industry exploring #connectomics across species and questions.
With Gregor Schuhknecht @MPIBrain & Helene Schmidt @ESI_Frankfurt

Today we celebrate the birthday of not one, but two amazing women in science! 🤗🎉Marie Skłodowska-Curie (1867), who discovered #radium & #polonium & pioneered #radioactivity, & Lise Meitner (1878), whose brilliance uncovered the physics behind #nuclearfission. Happy birthday!
