Medical Imaging Platform Node meeting
by Kareem Elsayad Dec. 11, 2024

Dec. 11, 2024

Hey all, So next year on 15th January at 16:00 we need to host a meeting for the MUW “Medical Imaging Platfrom”s, Microscopy and Advanced Optical Imaging (MAOI) node. Idea is that people in node get together for a couple of presentations (these are all folks doing stuff similar or tangential to us, like OCT, Raman, photoacoustics etc.). Block the date.. I will also put you on mailing list for send out. I will need a bit of help arranging coffee and cakes. We basically want to revitalize this node ( for which I am apparently speaker for together with Wolfgang Drexler – the OCT guy). While politically important (to bring money to our work and position ourselves strategically in existing research schemes), I think this can be quite beneficial on several levels (or else I would try and squeeze my way out of any such social obligations!). My idea is basically to get all the optics folks in MUW (will also invite ones from Vienna Biocenter, Technical Uni and Uni Vienna) to get to know each other personally. I think this is super useful not only for scientific collaborations but also for building connections, and also say if you quickly need some optical component you don’t have handy but want to try something with, or want to brainstorm an idea they may know more about, etc. The long term idea is to have these meetings quite regularly (so can really form kind of club) and have people in each present recently published papers or preprints to discuss followed by social mingling (and drinks/food covered by medical imaging platform 😊). Well, let’s see how it goes. All the best, Kareem

Just quickly wanted to share these lectures/videos by Sara Levens (researcher at University of North Carolina). They are quite basic (and a bit slow – would be cool if could play in double time) but helped me a lot in starting to understand especially Neuroscience basics (in Chapter 4) as she seems to explain things very nicely, before one goes digging into literature.. https://www.youtube.com/@saralevens1660/videos Just in case you need something to listen to on commute 😊

Mailing list, bookings & christkidlmarkt
by Kareem Elsayad Nov. 29, 2024

Nov. 29, 2024

Hi All.. So, firstly, I created a mailing list (muw(a)biobrillouin.org) we can all post to to quickly reach everybody in lab – which this mail is sent to. Feel free to use this for anything from asking for help, announcing something that may affect others, or seeing who wants to grab breakfast/lunch/coffee/beer/etc.. (just send mail to muw(a)biobrillouin.org) If you would like me to add a different email address (e.g. gmail) to mailing list let me know. I figured this can be useful instead of typing all email addresses all the time and also being sure to systematically include any new people that might join (at the moment the mails go out to: Pierre, Felix, Kaixuan, Jennifer, Ursula, Anastasia, and me) Secondly, most of you (Pierre, Felix, Kaixuan, Jennifer, Ursula) should have gotten an email invite to a google calendar, that you can also find here: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0?cid=YTRhNjE3NTBmNGQzNzFiMGI3NmM4ZT… This is for blocking time on TFP. Since this is used for multiple experiments, it makes sense to have some kind of booking calendar in order for those using to plan and to avoid conflict. So if you plan to use TFP please block the time in the calendar (if there are any issues with access let me know – you should all have editing rights). I would like to implement this also for other instruments along the line but only as needed or requested (maybe lasers, refractometer, viscometer, etc,..), since it can make things easier to plan for everybody if more than one person needs.. so like e.g. over weekend you can just check on your phone what you will need for next week(s) and not be faced with someone who also wants to use at same time. Maybe there is a more elegant than google but let us start with this since it is easy. Finally, I would like to invite you all for a punch/Gluehwein (Mulled Wine) at a “Christkindl Markt” just as a little get together to all touch base. I would propose the 12th or 13th December at 5pm. Let me know which works better for you. Am thinking the market at Altes AKH would be most convenient, but also open to any other suggestions (the one in Spittelberg is also nice if not too out of the way). Just post suggestions to this list & if you can make.. All the best & see you soon! Kareem
