Ash and Tom doing the SMLM-AFM thing!
Ash and Riley are in for Honours
Congrats Lukas and Jason who nailed their honours theses and both got First Class. Well played!
Lukas Jason and Ben join the group to do some super duper super-res stuff.
Merry Christmas.
This week’s Australian Synchrotron User Meeting marked Donna’s fifth consecutive attendance and Toby’s first. Donna presented a talk debuting results from beamtime in August which combined SMLM and S-FTIR for the first time in order to examine both the structural and compositional makeup on single cells before and after fixation. The results went down well with a lot of positive feedback. The paper should be out soon!
2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry goes to Eric Betzig (Janelia Farm Research Campus), Stefan W. Hell (Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry) and William E. Moerner (Stanford University)
for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy
Congrats!

A little bit more info on yesterday’s Nobel Prize! Several members of the lab were lucky enough to see both Stefan Hell and W.E. Moerner presenting their latest research just last month at the PicoQuant meeting.
