The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) recently announced $17 million in funding and its selection of 17 CZI Imaging Scientists — engineers, physicists, mathematicians, computer scientists, and biologists with expertise in technology development. Amazingly, 3 of the winners are current or former members of Cell Biology! Congratulations to Dr. Jennifer Waters, Director of the Nikon Imaging Center (NIC@HMS) and Lecturer in Cell Biology, who is developing the website Microlist.org. This site collates resources for research scientists using microscopy and image analysis, including courses, meetings, educational materials and job opportunities, and is one of her several education-related and data reproducibility projects that will be funded by CZI. We also congratulate Dr. Michael Weber, a former NIC postdoctoral fellow who trained under Jennifer. Michael is currently a Field Application Specialist for the Greater Boston Area and will be using CZI funding to develop  microscopes and infrastructure for a virtual imaging facility, enabling light sheet microscopes to travel between research labs. Finally, bravo to Dr. Srigokul (Gokul) Upadhyayula, a postdoctoral fellow in the Kirchhausen lab who will soon be joining UC Berkeley as the scientific director for the Advanced BioImaging Center (ABC). Gokul will be building cutting-edge adaptive optical multi-functional microscopes as part of his CZI project.
