Faster, clearer, deeper 3D imaging

It’s hard to see deep into tissues – a time-consuming process that can produce blurred images. So, researchers at our Uni, UMG and Lubeck developed an innovative light sheet fluorescence microscopy platform. Now, more detailed scans of fine networks of nerves or blood vessels are possible: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html?id=8057

I rarely toot, but I had to take my keyboard here to react on an opinion in the Nature Biotechnology issue.

The community of the DAO. Nat Biotechnol 41, 1357 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41587-023-02005-1

Weren't all of us, except the worst grifter, agreeing that crypto-money was just a grift, solving basically no problem? DAOs are just an extension of crypto-money, trying to make the grift live a bit longer. I will not go over all the problem that goes into blockchains and deregulated markets, some people have done that way better than me, but DAOs are just a way to get new people to buy into it.
Worst here, it is trying to get people with good intentions, a curious mind, and a wish to help human progress to buy into something that is anything but that. It is honestly disgusting.

Even if it is in the opinion section of a sub-journal, I am pretty appalled seeing that kind of thing in a Nature journal. I really hope there will be some reaction against it. We don't need that crap invading the research space. Finding money is one of the worst parts of research, and I am all for trying to find new ways of raising funds. But a DAO ain't it. If you want to crowdfund your project (basically what is proposed here), there exist ways that are way better than a Ponzi scheme that ruins the environment. Don't buy into that crap.

🧵 A Thread 🧵1/14

Excited to see our study "Predicting prime editing efficiency and product purity by deep learning" published in #NatureBiotechnology today! @schwanklab @krauthammerlab https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-022-01613-7

A study with WOW-effect from #NatureBiotechnology (@nature, @Nature)! It's really new hope for composite plants makers!

A composite plant has a mix of roots (non-transgenic and #transgenic) and a non-transgenic shoot. I.e. those plant is a "grafted" non-transgenic shoot on a half-transgenic #root system.

🧬Heritable transgene-free #GenomeEditing in #plants by grafting of wild-type shoots to transgenic donor rootstock.🧬
