I know I haven't been very active lately, but I have something cool planned for the next couple of months! BTW, I will also post on Bluesky. If you want to follow me there, just search for scibastian (I can't post a link bc the algorithm hates that)

📆Deadline extension alert!📆 The last day to submit applications for the MBL's 2025 Neurobiology course has been moved to February 3. Don't miss your opportunity to apply! Read more: https://t.co/A6Ro8GxGde #ScienceStartsHere

Santiago Ramón y Cajal, a luminary in the neuroscience community, has been honored as the Greatest Spaniard in History on the @La1_tve program! This recognition underscores the societal value placed on scientific advancement and Cajal's legacy. I and my co-authors have believed

If you are interested in Array Tomography, check this out :) I'm certain it will be amazing. They are absolute experts in Array Tomography, and also funny ;)

Attention #worm people! Did you know the @WormAtlas now has a YouTube channel? It's still severely undersubscribed. If you would like to see me beam away worms Star Trek style (kinda), you could start there :) https://t.co/3UtNPkuotf

Smiling Animals :)

This needs to be a Pokémon😻 How about... Turtalga, water/grass type

My new paper is out =) It's a review of electron microscopy (EM) in general and of EM in zebrafish neurobiology in particular. Also contains a decision tree for EM techniques Could be useful for EM beginners and fans of #zebrafish, especially the brain https://t.co/UFxYS1C9ny

Yes 😻 And they can do this right after birth: https://t.co/yilx2JHtWo

Thousands of sand tubes on this beach, they are made by Pectinaria which live inside them

At first I thought there's a part missing Amazing wasp

=D I'm over the moon! Thank you so so much!!

At 4:15 pm come to the EM side - we have electrons! :3 #Worm23

Also in this workshop: Mia Krout will show you how to freeze worms for best results in EM reconstruction and IHC @Ben_Mulcahy will show you his cool volume EM methods for connectomes and more Irina Kolotuev will show you how to democratize EM and how to do Array Tomography

Beaming of worms! If you want to see me beam away worms, you can attend our workshop on volume EM on Tuesday, 4:15 pm at the #Worm23 conference :) I'll tell you why we beam them, why this is a good idea, when it is a bad idea, and how hard it is to pull off for yourself 🖖

Some hidden details in the Wool Worm: Did you notice there's sperm in the spermatheca? They are amoeboid in C. elegans And I also added muscle arms :) (Which is a unique feature of nematode worms) #Worm23 #Wormart23

A #Worm23 Art show entry: a wool C. elegans stuffy! Dissectable to reveal germline, gut, embryos and sperm from @sci_bastian! Don't forget to vote for your favorites! QR code voting at the post session art show area.

If you're at #Worm23 and want to see my wool worm "in vivo": I now put it on the table at the #celegans art show =) #wormart

If you're wondering what the yellow parts are: these are the H-cell (excretory system) and the coelomocytes (cleaning system?) So... kidneys/bladder and liver/immune system? Something like that 🙃 #Worm23 #Wormart23 #celegans
