What is light microscopy? 🔬 Kurt Anderson, head of @CALM_STP, explains why it's so important for many researchers at the Crick to have access to the state-of-the-art microscopes he and his team manage.

... So we focused on making this open, clear and practical to implement, including a really detailed "how-to" starter guide and making all the designs freely available on our lab GitHub page (github.com/SerioLab/SOL3D).

Welcome and thanks to all the speakers who joined us as we held our first Crick - @HKUniversity Symposium! It's been a packed day with a great variety of talks from both institutions as we look for even more opportunities to collaborate.
Vivian Li and Paul Nurse opening the first HKU-Crick Symposium. Looking forward to a great day of science and discussions @TheCrick @HKUniversity

Our OptoPi paper is out in its final form. It includes nice changes from the pre-print, including a new system that makes building it much easier and faster, as well as new evaluation of our light weight on-line and off-line markless tracking software. hardware-x.com/article/S2468…
Our latest is out @bioRxiv - OptoPi: An open source flexible platform for th e analysis of small animal behaviour. Come for the hardware stay for our amazing multi-animal tracker 1/6. @X_Cano_Ferrer @neurooree @TheCrick @ERC_Research @AllenFrontiers @HFSP biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

We did a thing! Check out our new pre-print on SOLID: a fast, versatile, high-res low-cost (best combo ever) pipeline for microfabrication and prototyping of customisable cell culture devices that can be set up in any wet lab. Tweetorial coming soon! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Check out the tweetorial on our new pre-print...
Replying to @The_SERIOus_Dr
Basically an optimised pipeline to combine soft-lithography and SLA resin 3D printing to create high res moulds for devices with complex shapes, which can then be cast in PDMS or really any other material you want...

📰 Research has found that CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing can lead to unintended DNA mutations. The work, which looked at samples from early human embryos, shows the need for more research into CRISPR-Cas9 effects, especially when editing human DNA in the lab.crick.ac.uk/news/2021-04-09_…

We are looking for 2 senior scientists to join the Sequencing Facility @TheCrick: - Single Cell Scientist to expand our capacity and develop new applications crick.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/… - Joint appointment with @LabGandhi to support @ASAP_Research project crick.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/…
💷 It's vital that @UKRI_News is well-funded. 🌍 We're concerned about cuts to its aid-funded research and the lack of clarity on how the UK will pay for its participation in Horizon Europe. At a time when research budgets are under pressure, these investments are critical.

Here's a nice idea from the @CALM_STP LM Facility at the @TheCrick They have adapted the acknowledgment poster in a light-hearted way, and it's very effective. 👏👏👏🏆
