my obituary to my PhD supervisor and close friend David Ish-Horowicz, a lovely supportive mentor and friend for many generations of scientists and spent 10 years in my lab after “retiring”. We’ll all miss him. Development (2024) 151 (21): dev204429.

Hi all I am at the neurofly conference in Birmingham (uk) and having a fab time listening to great Drosophila neuroscience talks from scientists all over Europe. Organised wonderfully by Alicia Hidalgo and colleagues. We did our PhDs in adjacent labs in oxford starting 1986.

Sad news. David Ish-Horowicz, our colleague and friend, died on Friday. He was instrumental in discovering the genetic basis of pattern formation and a pioneer of the field of mRNA localisation. A wonderfully supportive and inspirational mentor. We will all miss him.

Looks interesting.
We developed an excitation module for 3D multi-color MINFLUX that is simple, stable and cost-effective and will allow for ultra-fast MINFLUX with a high accuracy.

@lucksmith Or maybe it is a microscope image of sparse microtubules decorated with fluorescent Dunedin heavy chain?

@lucksmith Well spotted. Maybe it us an ironic joke by an unhappy employee? A reference to Elon musk being less perfect/ clever than he imagines?
