Do you know how far phototoxicity can hinder your experiments?🤔 @mariodelr.bsky.social and @gomez-mariscal.bsky.social have just published their work on #PhotoFiTT in @natcomms.nature.com where they explain how to quantitatively measure it in live-cell imaging.⚡🧫🔬

A pleasure to work with @henriqueslab.bsky.social‬ and @guijacquemet.bsky.social, it's very cool to circle back and work with my good friend Ricardo again :) impossible without an amazing team with @mariodelr.bsky.social, @gomez-mariscal.bsky.social, Leonor Morgado and Raquel Portela!

#PhotoFiTT is out! 🚀 Addressing phototoxicity is critical for live-cell imaging & we're happy to contribute with a framework that can help mitigate it. Huge kudos to the team! Read all about it here :) nature.com/articles/s41467-025-66209-6

Last Friday we celebrated @itqbnova.bsky.social Day!🎂🥂
In the ceremony,𝗘𝗖𝗥𝗔 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗲 was awarded to researchers @mariodelr.bsky.social & Raquel Portela (from @microbematos.bsky.social IMIB group) in recognition of their outstanding proposal: InfectoFITT.🏅
Award sponsored by #OeirasValley and #Sarstedt

At the open day we talked about all the cool research ITQB NOVA is doing, topics like #AMR, #microbiome, #plantsciences, #chemistry, #cellbiology, our #citizenscience project #MicroMundo@Oeiras, #microscopy and much much more! A lot of questions and interest for science! Truly rewarding! #happy

This week we had an amazing science #outreach period at @itqbnova.bsky.social! We had the #openday which had over 2000 visitors. Also our guest Federico from @cambridgeuni.bsky.social was kind enough to volunteer for the "A scientist walks into a school" to talk about #DNA #nanostructures and #AMR

Having fun playing with the OGI3 #Bioreactor System from @ogibiotec.bsky.social! No more waiting for our #bacteria to reach the right OD before infecting some host cells (poor cells) :D #happy #microbiology #automation

And to start 2025 strong… Our work #NanoPyx is out in Nature Methods 😍❤️ DOI: doi.org/10.1038/s415...
#NanoPyx is a Python framework that uses the #LiquidEngine to efficiently accelerate bioimage analysis for any user! (1/n) ⬇️

Super happy to have contributed to this amazing work - both because it was an absolute pleasure working with this incredible team 😊 and because #NanoPyx and the #LiquidEngine will be immensely useful for the scientific community! What a fantastic way to kick off 2025! 🎉

Method of the Year 2024: spatial proteomics - Nature Methods Approaches for profiling the spatial proteome in tissues are the basis of atlas-scale projects that are delivering on their promise for understanding biological complexity in health and disease.

I could not be more thrilled to announce the Nature Methods @naturemethods.bsky.social Method of the Year is Spatial Proteomics! Please see our editorial as a roadmap to the fantastic content in this special issue! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We have quite a range of PhD projects this year, covering cryo-EM methods, bacteriology/bioenergetics, and infection/antibiotics/vaccines. Would really appreciate if people can RT and share with their teams!

New paper out in @ScienceMagazine! In 8 studies (multiple platforms, methods, time periods) we find: misinformation evokes more outrage than trustworthy news, when it does it's shared more + ppl are less likely to read before sharing. w/ @killianmcl1 @Klonick @mollycrockett 🧵👇

It’s out!! We subjected soils from 30 different locations across Europe to extreme events and found that soil fungal and bacterial communities showed consistent responses that could be predicted from their origin! With @knightjar.bsky.social and many collaborators!

A framework for understanding collective microbiome metabolism - Nature Microbiology This Perspective explores why microbiome members perform partial metabolism of substrates and suggests that proteome efficiency is a driver of collective microbiome metabolism.

My friend & colleague @micsysecolab.bsky.social Matthias has written this extremely insightful and fascinating perspective on bacterial collective metabolism, out now in @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social. So happy to see this out & super excited for proteome allocation! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hi everyone! For my first interaction with 🦋 I thought about sharing a Scholar Goggler (scholargoggler.com) about me... why? well, because I discovered it here at 🦋, I am indeed doing sciency things 🙂 and it's always good to know that my bio is accurate 😂 #accurate #bio #science #IMIBlab
