Royal Academy of Intl. Flow Cytometry AffairsIn the Service of Cytometry - Fix your own stuff! | The ChUG PodcastSend us a textThe issue I have whenever we discuss negotiating service contracts is that we just skip over the most useful leverage we have: fixing stuff on our own. But then again, there is very little training and information offered on how to do just that. It was a great pleasure to have Lisa Nicholls, James Marvin and Camille Stegen to discuss what the DIY life looks like, what's in their toolbox, and what can be done going forward to get that knowledge to spread.The ChUG Podcast is not sponsored by any...
2025-12-031h 03Royal Academy of Intl. Flow Cytometry AffairsThe Good, the Bad, and the Post Unmixing CompensationSend us a textHere it is! The debate that will settle this business of post acquisition adjustment of your unmixing matrix. Is it an appropriate thing to do? Or will applying manual compensation to your data send you to the 9th circle of hell (the one with the puppy stuck in ice)? So fine, my awesome guests Florian Mair and Rui Gardner do not come up with the final answer during this very insightful discussion. But I think the discussion will get us flow cytometry nerds look at the issue in a different way, and offers...

Flow Cytometry AffairsChatting Around A Whole New Dumpster Fire | The ChUG PodcastSend us a textAs much as I want to keep the ChUG podcast light and useful, we've entered a time where every piece of news we hear from the current administration is highly concerning. The media is discussing the stock market using stock images of people grabbing their face with their hands, we hear of NIH cuts and layoffs, and uncertainty is the only variable that is constant. I was happy to have Camille Stegen, Kathy Kluepfel, and Daniel Vocelle to discuss and provide some sense of clarity on how to move forward. So this is...
