#Preprint alert! Together with Filatov's group (TUD), we report a new type of O-BODIPY dyes displaying exceptional brightness & fluorescence lifetime range sensitive to... water! chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10.264… works great in #FLIM with cells, spheroids & organoids! @microscopyUGent

we should be glad that journals like "Frontiers in..." exist so we can quickly see how the peer-review & publication process should not be organised

I am sending an open letter to Thermo Fisher. Their response to my response to their manipulated western blot is bullying and petty. Yes, this western blot really is manipulated, it is unfair on me to say otherwise. I don't make those accusations lightly. #ThermoFishy

New article in @PNASNews: We all know that ChatGPT loves to delve, bolster, leverage, encompass, showcase, underscore, et cetera. I analyzed full text of 7.3 million journal articles published 2020-2025, hunting for 228 words that spiked after ChatGPT launched in late 2022.

In a paper just published in @sciencemagazine, we teamed up with @teichlab to construct the most detailed atlas to date of hormone production and action in humans at cellular resolution. (1/8) Link: science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Generative AI doesn’t run on magic. It runs on massive data pipelines built on privacy violations by design. Our new @Amnesty report exposes how big tech’s AI systems are powered by surveillance, data extraction, and abuse of people’s rights, at scale. We researched the models powering some of the most popular publicly available standalone generative AI tools, including GPT 3 by Open AI, Google’s Gemini, Meta’s Llama, DeepSeek and tools by Midjourney and Stable Diffusion. This is not innovation at any cost. It comes at a high price: our human rights. Read the report: amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2…

The arXiv one-year ban reveals that a lot of people who submit papers don't like...doing research. Reading papers is fun. Talking about papers in a group is interesting. Synthesizing the literature is rewarding. There are lot of careers don't involve those things & pay better.

1/ New @Nature! We study how powerful institutions shape the information environment for LLMs. Commercial LLM training is opaque, so we trace a path from state-coordinated media -> training data -> model responses.

📢 Hot off the @FEBSOpenBio press, our labs' newest paper - "Optimizing photoactivation of PA-mCherry for optical pooled CRISPR screens" febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com… 🍒⬇️⬇️

Sad news, Craig Venter was a great scientist and visionary. Back in the days I was lucky to attend his talk at @ASCBiology meeting, which I still value as one of the most inspirational talks that I ever attended to.

JHC's latest article: "Correlating Stimulated Emission Depletion Microscopy With Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy to Study the TIE2 Protein on Kidney Glomerular Podocytes." Click to read: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs… #microscopy #FLIM #immunofluorescence

New review on #luminescence #lifetime #imaging - #FLIM and #PLIM Massive work by @FlImagin3_DN PhD students @HarkhoeRishi and GabrieleFerrari. Nice collaboration with @PhotoBioLab Check it out🤓 @MooreFound pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

How many photons do you need to measure a fluorescence lifetime? Proud to release HILIGTHer, a #FLIM #DigitalTwin designed to simulate most features of time-domain FLIM systems, just announced at #FOM2026 and incredibly well-received. Beta available at: github.com/HiLIGHT-HORIZON/H…

Looking forward to speak tomorrow at BELSACT Ghent 2026 meeting covering safety, thinking outside the box 3Dcellculture, bioproduction, NAMs, RE-Place and more! My talk will focus on using small intestinal organoids, their live #FLIM for studies of #MNPs @microscopyUGent

Our team will present @FOMconferences 2026! @hang_zhouFLIM and Gabriele representing @microscopyUGent & @FlImagin3_DN will talk about #FLIM #organoids #micronanoplastics #spheroids #dynamicmitochondria & #oxygenation!

#FluorescenceFriday a result of not successful session this morning, second harmonic generation (SHG) image of the collagen I gel, - depending how you look at it - either a dog or some sort of triceratops relative @microscopyUGent #Multiphoton #SHG @FlImagin3_DN

This #FluorescenceFriday I am highlighting our recent article in @JHCnews where we used #FLIM to validate #STED #immunofluorescence & Antibody specificity in localising TIE2 protein in kidney @microscopyUGent : doi.org/10.1369/002215542514…
