From the article: “Campbell’s love of invention-oriented science has guided his career. “However, as I approach my midcareer stage, I’m also finding that focusing on invention alone can be kind of scary,” he says. Hypothesis-driven research will always lead to an answer,…

Probes: paths to photostability : Nature Methods : Nature Publishing Group. From the article: “The elegance and convenience of having a cell make its own fluorophore outweighs all other considerations for all but a very small number of potential applications, says Campbell. “If I wanted to perform long-term tracking of a cell surface receptor, I…
