POV you're finally home after a week away

After an intense week of learning, coding and playing with advanced methods on #BioimageAnalysis, a well deserved BBQ 🔥 to recover our strength 💪 for tomorrow, the last day of the course 😢 Enjoy!

Excited to see my first book chapter is out with @suzannemadgwick.bsky.social 📖 edited by @binyammogessie.bsky.social Ever wonder what that big weird nucleolus is up to in oocytes?🥚 No? Well. I think we make a good case for maybe you should! link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-97173-0_6

A fantastic primer by Martin Anger highlighting our work on separase control in oocytes! 🥚✂️ @suzannemadgwick.bsky.social @wetherall.bsky.social @plosbiology.org

New paper out = time to actually introduce myself! I'm Ben, a PDRA in the Egg Lab 🥚 with @suzannemadgwick.bsky.social @ Newcastle University. I study how oocytes organise chromsomes, developing some cool new tools along the way 🔬 👨‍🔬 Let's talk #fertility, #imaging, and all things science.

Great collaboration with @suzannemadgwick.bsky.social, led by @wetherall.bsky.social! 🙌🏼🎉
