🔴‘The Forgotten Human Impact of Yvette Cooper’s Cruel Anti-Refugee Policies’ The Home Secretary’s decision to stop people fleeing from war and torture from reuniting with their families should shame this Government, argues refugee rights campaigner Nick Beales bylinetimes.com/2025/09/03/t...

From 25 August 2025, UK citizens aged 12+ will be able to use eGates at German airports if they register for EasyPASS-Registered Traveller Programme. Registration must be done in person at a Federal Police service office at a German airport. ℹ️ easypass.de/EasyPass/EN/...

AI #watermarking was supposed to identify AI-generated images to keep the public informed. But it’s been cracked. Scientists have developed UnMark, a program that can remove AI watermarks from images. spectrum.ieee.org/ai-watermark...

Many UK universities likely to walk away from journal agreements after publishers put forward proposals with “year-on-year price rises” rather than cheaper deals demanded by national negotiators, @davidprosser.bsky.social tells @jgro-the.bsky.social www.timeshighereducation.com/news/busines...

Lab retreat to beautiful Sylvenstein lake (Little Canada in Upper Bavaria), with lots of interesting scientific discussions, hackathon, speed science-dating, team building and fun despite rainy conditions. Quick walk during rain break, mountain hike postponed to hopefully more sunny departure day!

Alert! ... for the child development world! @fluxsociety.bsky.social @fitngin.bsky.social ‪ The Healthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) Study has released its first data wave - it’s massive. Check here: docs.hbcdstudy.org and here: nbdc-datahub.org Here’s why it matters 🧠🍼

#ICCV2025 received 11,239 valid submissions that underwent the review process. The program committee recommended 2,699 papers for acceptance, resulting in an acceptance rate of 24%.

Following #CVPR2025, #ICCV2025 implemented a new policy targeting accountability and integrity. PCs identified 25 highly irresponsible reviewers, resulting in the desk rejection of 29 associated papers, including 12 submissions that otherwise would have been accepted.

It is a great honor to receive the ZukunftsWissen Prize 2025 from the German Academy of the Sciences @leopoldina.org with generous support of the commerzbank foundation 🎉 This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without my wonderful group @eml-munich.bsky.social @tum.de @helmholtz.de

In a Comment article for Nature, Akhil Vaid discusses how medical AI needs close supervision because uncontrolled deployment of machine learning in medicine can distort patient information and sacrifice long-term data reliability for short-term benefits. #medsky 🧪

Universities’ insistence that job candidates show support for equality policies may contravene free speech duties and prove to be “unlawful” if challenged in court, campaign group claims www.timeshighereducation.com/news/edi-req... via @twilliamsthe.bsky.social

The papers all follow a similar template and make misleading claims https://go.nature.com/4kucwEH

Many congratulations @danielrueckert.bsky.social FRS 🙌 👏👏👏 @tu-munich.bsky.social @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social @badw.de @leopoldina.org

We are pleased to announce the 90 outstanding researchers from across the world who have been elected to the Fellowship of the Royal Society this year. The group includes trailblazers from AI and electron microscopy to global health and neuroscience. #RSFellows royalsociety.org/news/2025/05...

A part of me wishes I was at #ismrm2025 with my friends and colleagues, celebrating their successes and hearing about their research. However, I decided to skip the annual meeting and write this post instead, hoping it will make a difference in the long run. 1/3

Now, it's time to up the ante. We are committed to enshrining scientific freedom in EU law, creating a 7-year ‘super grant’ to attract top researchers, and expanding support for the most promising scientists. More → europa.eu/!TTbWbJ

The times, they are a-changin’ ! FDG-PET is no longer collected in ADNI4. End of an era, but also a strong signal: dementia research has entered the precision medicine era. From metabolism to molecules: amyloid, tau, plasma biomarkers. 🚀 Excellent session at #ismrm2025

🤝 Feedback If you feel like trying one of our modules or even the full pipeline, please let us know how it goes. We are happy for any feedback and would love to improve MemBrain v2 even further to make it as helpful for the community as possible. 🧵(6/6)

🔑 Usability We focused on making MemBrain v2 smooth to work with: MemBrain-seg works with a single command line, while MemBrain-pick enables data-efficient training. We facilitate the transition between modules with several Napari functionalities like the 3D lasso to crop areas of interest. 🧵(5/6)

⚖️ MemBrain-stats This module analyzes the spatial organization of particles on membranes. It takes the outputs of MemBrain-seg and MemBrain-pick to compute metrics like particle concentrations and geodesic nearest neighbor distances. 🧵(4/6)

⛏️MemBrain-pick If you’re interested in localizing membrane-associated particles, please give MemBrain-pick a try. It enables efficient training of a model to localize particles on membranes and works with the Surforama plugin for interactive annotation in Napari. 🔗 github.com/cellcanvas/s... 🧵(3/6)

🎨 MemBrain-seg This module allows out-of-the-box segmentation of membranes with just a single command line. It’s based on a U-Net architecture, trained with a diverse dataset to enable generalization to many settings.
 🔗 github.com/teamtomo/mem... 🧵(2/6)

🦠🧠 MemBrain update! 🧠🦠 We’ve updated our preprint! It now covers the full MemBrain v2 pipeline for end-to-end membrane analysis in #CryoET: segmentation, particle picking, and spatial statistics. 🔗 Preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2024... 🔗 Code: github.com/CellArchLab/... 🧵(1/6) #TeamTomo
