  • In the Service of Cytometry - Fix your own stuff! | The ChUG Podcast
    Dec 3 2025

    The 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 organizations, the views presented here are our own.

    We live in strange days... The research field is facing a very challenging situation (born out of some very stupid decision making). In this ChUG episode, Melissa Leone - sales expert extraordinaire, VP of all things complicated, and now the very best core director in the land, helps David come up with a plan to reduce expenses by 10%, or increase revenues by 10%. Then we end up creating a Chicago-based marketing effort.

  • The Good, the Bad, and the Post Unmixing Compensation
    Aug 24 2025

    Here 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 valuable insights for anyone struggling with incomplete correction of their spectral overlap!
