10yrs ago - we dreamed of sharing live microscopy images w large groups. That was seed of “Projection Microscopy” 📽️+ 🔬= ❤️ So happy we can finally release it in product form. Foldscope Kickstarter campaign. If you can - please support our efforts to democratize science.

Introducing The MicroRealms Projector! 🎉 A powerful and affordable 50-1000X microscope with an embedded projector, small enough to fit in your pocket.

Live on Kickstarter - get yours now: buff.ly/4b01IJV

In our latest preprint, we use connectomics to uncover that the FeCO, the largest somatosensory organ in the fly leg, is not only proprioceptive, but also has a subset of sensory neurons that are dedicated to sensing external substrate vibrations as well: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

1. Our lab's latest paper, now out in @PlosGenetics addresses a problem I’ve been personally obsessed w/ for almost 2 decades now: why do cell adhesions have so many way to link to the cytoskeleton? We think this study provides some answers. A brief thread journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…

Congratulations Spyros Artavanis-Tsakonas of Harvard Medical School, newly inducted #NASmember ! #NAS161 #biology #genetics

Congratulations Venkatesan Sundaresan of UC Davis, newly inducted #NASmember ! #NAS161 #plantbiology #genomics

Extremely excited and proud to see our paper on #cilia new variants in Science. This is a true international collaboration between many labs including Amjad Horani at Washington U. Med and The Mill Lab and many others. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Just finished 'Mind at Play' by Jimmy Soni & Rob Goodman A long overdue read on the founder of information theory. Some of my highlights...

My talk at Harvard Museum of Natural History on 25 April 204. It was an amazing experience! Wonderful participants and a well organised program. #Frog #wildlife #MCZHarvard #RadInstitute #HarvardMuseum

Exciting to see what our discoveries have led to so far!! Lights a 🔥 under us, as well as many other physicians and scientists!

Beautiful work from Raju & Siggia constructing a quantitative Waddington-like landscape of epiblast & primitive endoderm differentiation from inner cell mass

My bet is that we'll see heteroclinic flips in many developmental cell fate decisions

Highly recommended interview in Current Biology on the inspirational ’Syed’ Mubarak Hussain Syed, Mübarak Hussain. Truly leads by example. Delighted to see you featured Syed.

How do neuromuscular delays limit the speed and robustness of behavior? We built a multi-layered 3D model of fly walking to investigate what happens when delays exceed the physiological range. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thanks TLecuitLab PrakashLab James Briscoe Frank J, Ed M and Aleks W for spoiling us all with an incredible richness of discussions and ideas at the meeting.

Was also quite special that three of us National Centre for Biological Sciences colleagues were there together!
