I am humbled and grateful to receive the Sloan Fellowship in Physics -- although not a physicist by training, I seem to have been entangled long enough. I’m deeply grateful to my mentors, research group, colleagues and collaborators, and department chair for supporting my nomination. Thank you! #SloanFellow
Congrats to the 126 early-career scholars awarded a 2026 Sloan Research Fellowship, whose creativity and innovation set them apart as the next generation of scientific leaders! Our Fellows represent 7 fields and 44 institutions across the US and Canada. sloan.org/fellowships/2026-F…

We’re excited to share our latest Nature Protocols paper, which presents a detailed protocol for achieving optical transparency in live mice using tartrazine: nature.com/articles/s41596-0…. We're also thrilled to see several recent papers from other labs highlighting the power of tartrazine! opg.optica.org/optica/fullte… opg.optica.org/ol/fulltext.c… spiedigitallibrary.org/journ… arxiv.org/abs/2503.05105 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

I apologize if our previous preprint post was taken as if the original results were irreproducible. The skin clearing was reproduced. Although other issues remain, we decided to retract our preprint. I apologize to @HongNeuroTech and the community for the confusion.
Check out our new bioRxiv preprint that challenges the recent in vivo optical clearing paper with tartrazine dye in Science. To be clear, they only demonstrated optical clearing of *dead cells*. Tartrazine cannot make live tissues transparent doi.org/10.1101/2024.09.29.6…

So grateful to be part of Wu Tsai and the Stanford Neuro community!
The goal of Guosong Hong's award-winning essay was "to convey to the general public how engineering can help biologists and medical researchers come up with new tools for understanding and treating life-threatening and severely debilitating diseases." stanford.io/34bP9Mh
