Dear EMBRIOphytes,

Two reminders on this beautiful autumn Friday - 1) Register for the LSFM Workshop ASAP, and 2) plan to join our all-hands lab meeting Monday afternoon led by Linlin Li (Umulis Lab) on the use of neural networks in EMBRIO research. 

Light-Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy Workshop: Advanced 3D Imaging for Biological Research
Led by Purdue Bindley Bioscience Center (with Dr. Weiwei Zhang), together with Bruker and EMBRIO Institute.

This is an excellent opportunity for EMBRIO members to have focused instruction and gain skills in this imaging modality. There are hands-on opportunities to bring your own samples.

The workshop will be held October 28-29, 2025, on the Purdue campus, with options for the first half of day one via Zoom. For EMBRIO members at our partner locations interested in attending this training in person, please contact Brent regarding travel (laddb@purdue.edu). For questions about the workshop please contact Weiwei (zhan2190@purdue.edu ).

See the attached flyer and registration page for details. 
Registration is free: https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1GrEoUEHdatNBFY


All-Hands Lab Meeting October 20th at 3pm ET
