I’m incredibly fortunate to be working with @joycemeiri.bsky.social who has joined my team following her post doc with the Akhmanova lab. A kindred spirit! Someone who loves #microtubules & #microscopy as much as me. Welcome to #AIBN #UQ Joyce!

🔬 DNA-based probes light up to report receptor interactions in living cells, enabling wash-free imaging and ligand screening. A cell-culture proof of concept—not a direct readout of receptor organisation.

Tip 6: The #scientific method states you should have ONE variable in your experiment.
That's impossible in #biology, but be kind to yourself and tackle the assay variables separate from the biological variables, especially during early stages.
