🎉 Thank you for the opportunity to publish some of my PhD work! 🔬doi.org/10.1098/rsta.2023.01…
The Phil Trans A issue describing our meeting on open microscopy from last May is finally out! bit.ly/TransA2274

Hi all, we are now on bluesky. Give us a follow @glasgowimaging.bsky.social so that we can start building our network up again over there🔬
Also keep your eyes peeled for upcoming info on the GIN symposium 2025 👀
Thanks for choosing our preprint to highlight Simon, really interesting questions and perspectives for us to think about 🔎💭
Fun highlighting this preprint! Fercoq (@FFercoq), Cairns (@_Gemmaaaa_) and colleagues have used new imaging approaches to reveal striking effects of pre-metastatic breast cancer & G-CSF treatment on adhesiveness of neutrophils in the lungs:

@Simon_J_Cleary highlights work from the Carlin Lab (@BAIR_Head).
“The methods developed for use in this study are impressive…”.

Registration almost full! Great to see so much interest in reviving the network 🔬 We are still accepting abstracts until Friday for those who have registered. See you all in December 👋
There are only a few registration places left for #GINSymposium2023, so register quick to not miss out! (tinyurl.com/2023GIN) If you've already registered and would still like to submit an abstract please send it to [email protected] (max 300 words) by 17th Nov.

🆕Preprint from @XimenaRaffo in @BAIR_Head's Lab finds that γδ T cells impair the differentiation of tumour-associated macrophages into airway macrophages in lung adenocarcinoma, suggesting new avenues for immunotherapeutic strategies

Join us for our annual 24 hour gaming stream as we raise money for @myawareUK
Myaware is the only UK charity dedicated to the support of those living with myasthenia, a rare autoimmune disease for which there currently is no cure.

My first first author preprint from my PhD work is out today on arXiv! 😁@DrBrianPatton and I have developed an image-based method of aligning multichannel infinite-conjugate microscopes using a ray transfer matrix analysis model arxiv.org/abs/2307.04940
We hope this alignment method will be particularly useful for open-source microscopy systems which often have compact designs resulting in difficulties using traditional alignment methods, such as autocollimators and shear plates, or where additional hardware isn't available.
The Jupyter Notebook and sample data are all available here:

Absolute scenes 🏴
FULL TIME: Norway 1-2 Scotland.
Scenes at the end! Two late goals from Lyndon Dykes and Kenny McLean seal the three points in Oslo 🙌

It’s odd to get lectured by people telling me that bike helmets aren’t important when the emergency services at the scene yesterday told me I probably wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t wearing one.
Funny old world! I hope you’re having a good Tuesday.
Soup through a straw for lunch⛑️
