Roger Tsien’s @CamPhilSoc lecture in 2015 was one of the most memorable talks I’ve *ever attended. He literally illuminated our field -from brain activity to every glowy 💡creature we have today. A trailblazer and inspiration!

Today, I would like to honor the memory of Roger Y. Tsien, who died on August 24, 2016. His legacy lives with all who use his technologies, including calcium sensors, fluorescent proteins, the acetoxymethyl (AM) ester, & many more! #FluorescenceFriday
