We're excited to present a single-cell atlas of vertebrate cranial motor neuron development, the first story from my postdoctoral work in the Moens lab, up now on bioRxiv!

Confocal micrograph of a mechanosensory neuron with dendrites projecting broadly to cover the entire surface of the tail fin from a 6 day old zebrafish larva. This image is a composite of 5 adjacent high resolution confocal stacks to try and show the entire dendritic morphology of this neuron. Width of image is 1 mm.

We tracked a zebrafish tail tip for 30h of light-sheet imaging.
It didn’t exist at t=0.

LiLiTTool: CoTracker3 + object detection → real-time microscope steering.
3D, multi-ROI, open source.

The best Batman story I've read in a long while.
heyitsdora.com Dora B @heyitsdora.com · Mar 19
Have you experienced Robert Florence's poem Batman's Aff His Nut?
Transcription by silveth on Tumblr: BATMAN’S AFF HIS NUT Batman’s aff his nut Have you seen the way he cuts aboot Dressed up as a mad fuckin bat Batterin guys I was lit at: “Mate, I’m worried aboot ye I know your ma and da died But everybody’s ma and da dies And we’re no aw runnin aboot Hookin muggers and Kickin psychopaths in the baws.” And that was when Batman went “Aye, but do ye ever feel like it? Do you ever look at the world and feel like it? Like having a big mad base under your hoose? Do you ever feel like drivin a big mad motor that turns intae a tank? And leatherin fuck oot of guys aw night? Scarin the fuckin shite oot of them?” And that was when I was lit at: “Aye. Fuck it. Ah dae.” And that’s the Secret Origin of Robin and everybody else.

Here's the video of zebrafish development from Don Kane and Rolf Karlstrom that was used in the special issue. On the top left hand corner of each odd-numbered page in the issue was a single frame from the timelapse movie. 🧪
