Since its early years, the light microscope has been a powerful tool in almost all disciplines. In biology, innovative new imaging approaches are constantly being developed which combine computational processing with biological protocols and revolutionary physical approaches. ...
Working with AAV vectors in the brain and peripheral nervous system presents a special challenge to scientists. What works well in one cell or neuron type may not work well for a neighboring cell type, even within the same brain region or nucleus. Just optimizing AAV expression ...
As a scientist, perhaps the most important part of your research is communicating the results of the work. Yes, those control experiments are important — but without letting other scientists know the results, your work won’t have any impact!
This post was contributed by Magdalena Julkowska, a postdoctoral researcher at KAUST, Saudi Arabia. From the perspective of an author submitting a paper, the peer-review seems like another dragon to slay on the way to publish your work in a scientific journal. The peer-review is ...
The C. elegans community has always emphasized the need for open science and collaboration. The field already has comprehensive reference pages and curated databases for scientists including Wormbook, Wormatlas and Wormbase. And scientists have been continuously sharing their ...
Biotechnology is no longer just for those working in academia or industry. At BosLab, we identify ourselves as part of a network of independent Do-it-Yourself (DIY) biology laboratories working towards enabling everyone to participate in the biotech revolution. Our lab exists in ...
The following post was contributed by Derek Jacoby from Makerspace Victoria, CA Over the decades science has become increasingly restricted to academic and industrial labs, but recently there has been a counter movement by the public to access basic equipment and to become ...
