Hello, I’m Jessie! I’m a PhD student at Washington University in St. Louis. I already knew a bit about fluorescence microscopy before hand, but this course was helpful for getting a thorough rundown on the terminology and concepts. My favorite science part was the different practical considerations for doing multichannel experiments and testing for bleed through. My lab mates and I do a good amount of multichannel imaging, so this was a lot of help. (But in my heart of hearts, my real favorite part was getting the fun little badges.) ---

Hi, I’m Maria, a Postdoc at Harvard Medical School. I’m an image analyst, so I am not the one taking the images. This course is a great way to learn what’s behind a microscopy image! I’m particularly interested in parts of the course that present a caveat for image analysis, such as fluorophore brightness, bleedthrough, and autofluorescence. ---

Hi! I’m Esteban, originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina and currently a Postdoc at the Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard in Cambridge, MA. I’m an image analyst and microscopy enthusiast. I’ve worked at a microscopy core facility before so I was familiar with the topics of the course (which does NOT mean I got every question right from the start! XD). What I enjoyed more about the course was getting new and simpler ways to convey these sometimes complex topics to new users! ---

Hi, I am Bárbara Maya from Mexico. I am a last-year PhD student in Biomedical Sciences at the Tecnologico de Monterrey campus in Guadalajara. My research involves Microbiota pairwise interactions using _in vitro_ and _in silico_ studies, which is directly related to the content of the fluorescence microscopy course. By better understanding the tool and improving my skills, I can provide a more comprehensive description and suitable research analysis. ---

Hi, I’m Neha! I’m new to microscopy and currently exploring fluorescence microscopy. This course has been really helpful in understanding the basics, especially the parts about image analysis and practical experiments.
