#Biosensor
The disconnect between the millions of dollars being thrown at biosecurity / biodefense right now and the simultaneous mocking of people wearing masks is so painfully, tragically stark. A respirator is a tool, just like a biosensor or a biological countermeasure.

Very rare accessory just in.

The N64 Biosensor! Compatible with Tetris 64 the Biosensor measures your heart rate and gameplay is affected based on that feedback.

This's stunning. New biosensor can detect bird flu from a 5 minute sample at a concentration lower than 100 virions per m^3.😮

Can be adapted to other pathogens as well including e-coli/covid.🥳

This is like the Geiger counter for viruses; it could be used to quarantine at the start of an outbreak.😄

TIL "dynamic range" is used for two orthogonal biosensor properties.
Which one is correct?

Happy to announce our new preprint "A green lifetime biosensor for calcium that remains bright over its full dynamic range" which is now available on bioRxiv:
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Why yet another biosensor for Ca2+? Here's a thread 🧵
A green lifetime biosensor for calcium that remains bright over its full dynamic range
Fluorescent biosensors toggle between two states and for the vast majority of biosensors one state is bright and the other state is dim. As a consequence, there is a substantial difference in the sign...

Every time someone mentions using a #FRET #biosensor to me, I still think about this tweet from @joachimgoedhart.bsky.social.
