A lovely interview with friend to all volume EMers Kedar Narayan. He may not have become World Chess champ, but he has won the Alan Agar award! VolumeEM: An Interview with Kedar Narayan focalplane.biologists.com/20…

I love a puzzle! I've done this myself, but had to reverse engineer the answer to clue 6 from the overall solution!

For those that know me, you can play a game of "Where's Wally" and find me in the crowd in the first picture from Tues night seeing @therapyofficial (who were brilliant by the way) at @the1865 in Southampton with my daughter Rosalind
Fantastic night @the1865 Southampton! Huge thanks to all who rammed the place and brought the noise on a cold Tuesday night, respect! 📸:Mike McM

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Replying to @giulia_casal
@giulia_casal making it a stressful but ultimately very successful Friday afternoon with an impressive first attempt at cutting and collecting serial sections for SEM Array Tomography! I held my breath at points, but she did a great job and approx 480 sections is no mean feat!
first volume EM sample prep done on my own!! Taught by the best @EM__Ian 🥳 3h later I have ~480sections of 70nm each🤩 #volumeEM @VolumeEM1

Several lucky people are going to have a whole week at workshop in Munich next week with @JemimaBurden @MaSchifferer et al courtesy of @cziscience learning how to do this and plenty more about array tomography!

It's happening again, though this time it's a 15 min talk and version 1.0 is currently 19 mins long! Time to be brutal with the virtual razor blade and trim it down a bit smaller! (Or I could sabotage my friend Jon Moss who is talking after me and steal his time as well?)
Reached that stage of putting together a slide deck for a 45 min talk when I realise I have over an hours worth of material at first run through! Happens every time, I just think, "I'll show one more dataset!" Time to start trimming away at it! ✂️
