Can'r recommend highly enough this website for many different types of microscopy training:
https://myscope.training/

It covers many techniques, has really good explanations, simulations and other things.

Clearly going into my AFM lecture course!

Ceratitis open peer review

I reviewed a paper last year about the embryonic development of Ceratitis capitata, the Mediterranean fruit fly (or medfly).

The authors used time-lapse recordings of whole embryos made with lightsheet microscopy to create a comprehensive staging system for the embryogenesis of the species.

It was one of the first reviews that I signed (disclosed my identity) from the beginning—and it felt right. As much as I understand the advantages of anonymity against power abuse from influential people, signing a review brings accountability and connection among peers.

The authors opted to publish the peer review history along with the paper, so now everyone can read it.
