BioRxiv is the most important thing that happened in science publishing
Today marks the beginning of OpenRxiv, which replaces bioRxiv and medRxiv, the world's largest preprint platform for life and medical science @openrxiv

An exciting advancement in Brillouin microscopy!
This new microscopy method developed by the @Prevedel_Lab allows to capture 3D images quickly enough for live-organism observation.
The article is also available in Italian: embl.org/news/science-techno…
An EMBL-engineered advance has pushed forward Brillouin microscopy to allow for faster, more efficient study of live organisms.
The 1,000-fold improvement in speed and throughput provides a way to view light-sensitive organisms more efficiently.

Second week training just finished, and I am feeling increasingly equipped with useful strategies to improve my leadership. Looking forward to the next 4 weeks! Thank you, @FensKavliNet, for this great opportunity and especially to @MeitalOren for organizing with @LeadSculpt
We kickstarted the @FensKavliNet Leadership and Soft Skills series, with 20 participants from all over Europe! The first session was about leadership roles, looking forward to the next session!
tnx to my 🔥 co-organizer @cgillebert, @LeadSculpt and CHET

Very excited about our latest work in #BrillouinMicroscopy: We utilize quasi-pulsing to markedly enhance the signal in stimulated Brillouin spectroscopy – this allows us to substantially reduce the required laser powers, which makes applications to sensitive bio-samples possible!
Pulsed stimulated Brillouin microscopy enables high-sensitivity mechanical imaging of live and fragile biological specimens biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #bioRxiv

Does exercise drive development? In the sea anemone, the way you move matters.
@EMBL scientists employed an interdisciplinary approach to show how ‘exercise’ impacts developing sea anemones’ size and shape.
