Hello Lucie and Pierre, Happy New Year and thank you for the very nice newsletter, this will be a great addition to the community. Just wanted to say that yes please I would like to be reminded to renew my registration for the BioBrillouin Society when the time arises. Thanks again, and I hope everything is well with you guys, Cheers, Sal --------------------------------------------------------------- Salvatore La Cavera III Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellow Nottingham Research Fellow Optics and Photonics Group University of Nottingham Email: salvatore.lacaveraiii@nottingham.ac.uk<mailto:salvatore.lacaveraiii@nottingham.ac.uk> ORCID iD: 0000-0003-0210-3102 ________________________________ From: newsletter@biobrillouin.org <newsletter@biobrillouin.org> Sent: 24 December 2024 11:15 To: info@biobrillouin.org <info@biobrillouin.org> Subject: [Info] BioBrillouin Newsletter You don't often get email from newsletter@biobrillouin.org.

We plan to publish 4 newsletters a year, in which we'll be presenting the essentials: * Society news (joint projects, feedback from conferences, useful information for the community) * New publications from the members of the society * Events planned in the field * Job openings This newsletter is sent to the widest possible list of researchers and industrials working on Brillouin spectroscopy for biology. However, we plan to send future newsletters only to members of the BioBrillouin Society. Registration to the society will open early 2025. If you want to be notified to register, please send us a mail to newsletter@biobrillouin.org<mailto:newsletter@biobrillouin.org?subject=Notification%20for%20BioBrillouin%20registration&body=Hi,%20I%20would%20like%20to%20be%20notified%20when%20the%20registration%20to%20the%20BioBrillouin%20society%20open.> Next Newsletter The next newsletter will be sent out on March 1, 2025. We therefore ask you to send us your information before February 20, 2025<mailto:newsletter@biobrillouin.org?subject=News%20for%20next%20BioBrillouin%20Newsletter>. Thanks in advance :) Note: We have chosen to list in this newsletter all the publications and pre-publications you have sent us. However, we plan to keep for the next newsletter only those articles made available online after October 1, 2024, in an effort to control the newsletter's length. News from the society 8th BioBrillouin Conference in Trondheim Thank you all for attending the BioBrillouin Conference here in Trondheim, Norway! We are grateful for your participation and for the inspiring presentations that made this event so enriching. A special thanks to our keynote speakers, Henrik Jonsson, Francesca Palombo, Marketa Samalova, and Peter Torok, for their remarkable contributions. We also want to extend our gratitude to Thorsten Hamann and his entire organizing team for their incredible efforts in making this conference a success, as well as to our sponsors for their generous support. We look forward to seeing you all next year in Boston for the next edition of the BioBrillouin Conference! [Northen light] Northen lights!!!

Standardisation of spectra format We have been working towards developing a new standardized file format for Brillouin microscopy experiments to streamline data sharing and improve consistency across the field. A dedicated BioBrillouin GitHub organization has been created to this end and is accessible at this link<https://github.com/bio-brillouin/HDF5_BLS>. A Python library<https://pypi.org/project/HDF5-BLS/> is in creation together with its documentation<https://hdf5-bls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/modules.html#wraper>. The discussion page<https://github.com/bio-brillouin/HDF5_BLS/discussions> of the GitHub project is welcoming all your comments, ideas, critics.
