Going to be an amazing year for expanding microscopy resources at MCW. First to arrive is the light sheet, next up is the @Abberior FACILITY line STED microscope and @AndorTechnology Dragonfly 620 SR with STORM/TIRF. Can’t wait to see how this will help researchers on campus.
Happy #FluorescenceFriday and #FollowFriday! I direct a PhD program in Pharmacology & a microscope core, and our lab's research is on substance use disorder. Looking to connect with more people with similar interests. New light sheet was installed by @edwardlachica3 this week.

RATTACA is back at #SfN24 — come see us tomorrow at Booth #1828.
RATTACA uses polygenic risk scores to predict behavioral traits in outbred rats. Now you can study genetic predisposition to substance abuse in drug naive rats! Details at ratgenes.org/rattaca
The Center for GWAS in outbred rats (ratgenes.org) has a booth at #SfN22 (#3229). We are offering outbred rats with *genetically predicted* behavioral and physiological phenotypes. It's like selected lines, but we can predict for dozens of traits. What traits? Read on.
