Looking forward to this meeting! 🤓💻🧬🦠🔬

#ChlamyDataset will be there too 💚

@embl.org at its best: collaborative, open, transformative, and just the right amount of crazy. Dreaming of mechanistic cell biology *in the natural environment*? Dream no more, rent the AML.

Thanks Sagar!! It is indeed my dream team 🤩🎉

Diatoms – microscopic algae found almost everywhere there’s water – make up ~25% of Earth’s annual oxygen production.🌎

EMBL researchers have now found a way to easily reveal their inner structures by combining cryo-fixation with ultrastructural expansion microscopy 🔬

Exciting day for the lab: our 1rst paper is officially out in @currentbiology.bsky.social 🥳 Wonderful collaboration wt @gautamdey.bsky.social showing how Cryo-ExM achieves consistent immunostaining in diverse diatoms, from the lab and the natural environment 1/n

So a big day for #microeukaryote #imaging. To finish "en beaute" a small video to share the behind the scenes of this first work. Such an exciting time to be a #marine #microbiologist !!

The ESRF congratulates the winners of the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry for their groundbreaking work on metal–organic frameworks!

Among them is Prof. Yaghi, with whom the ESRF proudly collaborated on a study featured as an ESRF Highlight in 2023 on high-porosity #MOF glasses.

Time for a thread!🧵 How different is the molecular organization of thylakoids in “higher” plants🌱? To find out, we teamed up with @profmattjohnson.bsky.social to dive into spinach chloroplasts with #CryoET ❄️🔬. Curious? ..Read on!

Continuing the Conference tour 2025 with #MLD8 #diatoms show with cryo-exm 🦠

Leaving the beautiful Leiden after a great workshop @lorentzcenter.bsky.social
on #Photosynthesis and #Temperatureextremes in a #ChangingWorld 🦠🌱🔥🧊 Inspiring talks and people! The right crowd to share our new preprint on cryo-ExM

Look at those #DIATOMS

LOOK AT THESE #Microtubules

Congrats to the team

Long-live #UExM #Expansion #Microscopy

Beautiful expansion microscopy of diatoms. Check out those cool #CO2 - fixing pyrenoids! The interesting shapes are likely formed by the #PyShell around the Rubisco. Congrats @serenaflori.bsky.social @floravincent.bsky.social and the whole @embltrec.bsky.social plankton team! 🧪🌾🌍🔬

Excited to share the lab's 1rst preprint! Rapid high-res immunofluorescence is now possible in cultured & environmental diatoms thanks to 4-fold expansion microscopy. A step-change for comparative cell biology in one of the most important phytoplankton groups on the planet 🥳

The Arctic is threatened by global heating and pollution: @taraoceans-science.bsky.social polar station will both lock into ice and float on water to support researchers in understanding these threats. TREC's Thomas Haize attended the vessel's inauguration in Lorient and shared these great pics!

Surfing the thylakoids...🤩 🌊🤙

POSTDOC position available in Ceske Budejovice & Cambridge, funded by ERC KLEPTOS, to study plastid endosymbiosis in kleptoplastidic taxa with spatial proteomics. Are you curious about this process and interested in proteomics and data analysis? Join us by applying here: jobs.bc.cas.cz/en/detail/250

@embl.org crew at @embo.org workshop on #EMBOClimateResilience
After a day of intense talks, now comes the active brainstorming part to actually come up with concrete steps forward to create more bonds between cell biology and planetary science.

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🤩

📢Excited to share TWO ERC-funded postdoc positions!🧪Are you passionate about molecular mechanisms and marine microbial interactions?🌊🔬Join us in dissecting antagonistic diatom-bacteria interactions, by the sea! tiny.cc/xlfe001 @thembauk.bsky.social @exetermarine.bsky.social Please msg to hear more!

Join the GMI as a Junior Group Leader! The GMI is seeking a talented scientist to lead an independent research group, addressing fundamental questions in molecular plant biology. More information is below.

EMBL seminar ✔️.. Now back to my happy place 🥼🔬⚗️🧪

Only single cell sequencing could reveal if it was really a nazi salute

Thanks to all our amazing collaborators in Japan🇯🇵 (Ginga, Yusuke, Aki, Genji), UK🇬🇧 (Onyou, Sabina, @jnb-lab.bsky.social, Luke) & France🇫🇷 (@serenaflori.bsky.social, Giovanni). And huge congrats to Manon Demulder!👩‍🔬💪
