A new #ScienceReview looks at both the advances in technology for large-scale neural activity recording over the past decade and recent developments in analytic tools and approaches to make sense of the resulting complex, high-dimensional data. Learn more: bit.ly/4enAcXL

Congrats to my friend and colleague Guosong Hong for his stunning and original discovery, published today in Science, on clearing tissues *in living animals* with a common food dye! The dye is tartrazine, used in Doritos! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

We discovered a surprisingly easy way to control the brightness of fluorescent proteins via magnetic fields: andrewgyork.github.io/gfp_ma… This raises fascinating scientific questions about the mechanism, and tantalizing technological opportunities for bioengineering.

Apologies if you have already seen this: Scientists and Researchers-Sign up and help to fight Covid-19 pandemic docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
What are COVID research efforts with which we could assist? (testing in another post.) Are there any published sequences of neutralizing antibodies, for modeling, yet? I've seen some COVID SNP modeling. Would virus-SnFRs be useful? Could test how molecules affect propagation?

If you have coding/math skills and are cleaving for learning opportunities now, I recommend taking online machine learning/ AI courses (cs229 / cs231n) from Stanford. I took it before and it was the best time investment I ever did. Better than just watching COVID news...
Yesterday the @MU_BISC Department dedicated the Barbara and Dennis Klein BioImaging Core Facility. The Klein's generous gift has provided space and funding for confocal and 2-photon scopes to advance the department's cutting edge research program.
