We tried other brands but nothing works quite like a Guinness for our light sheet microscope. Future collab?

We are getting serious about analysis. Today Hunter Elliott and @florianjug.bsky.social introduce machine learning and AI. It’s not magic, it’s computers.

Look mum, I made it!!! 🎉 😉 @ellis.eu @humantechnopole.bsky.social

The Human Technopole brings together the expertise, infrastructure, and compute needed to develop AI across biological scales and data modalities. Below a 🧵 that explains what we have in mind. We are just getting started and are keen to hear from people who want to help shape our vision!

We've spent the last year building something at @humantechnopole.bsky.social that we think is genuinely needed: #AI that works across biological scales and data modalities, not just within them. A thread on what we're doing, why, and who we're looking for. A 🧵... 1/9

🚨Job Alert -- again!🚨 You are into disease risk prediction based on images or other data modalities? This is for you! 🫵 careers.humantechnopole.it/job/Postdoc-... Part of our Scientific AI Flagship @humantechnopole.bsky.social and part of our mission to benefit society via biomedical #AI solutions.

Come and work with us at @humantechnopole.bsky.social on cutting edge AI methods to advance human health! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

🚨 We are hiring! Personally, I think this is a fantastic job, good salary, and fun work place with exceptional colleagues. ⚠️ Warning, I’m quite biased… but still right! 😜 Join us! Apply!!! 🎉 careers.humantechnopole.it/job/AI-Exper...

It's out! Happy to present ITEC, a semi supervised algorithm with an extremely low error rate that can track cells in files of any size (think Terabytes!). We used it in many organisms, including zebrafish, to study how organs form and linked it to gene expression www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... +🧪

Excited to share our new paper (CVPR 2026 🚀): "MuViT: Multi-Resolution Vision Transformers for Learning Across Scales in Microscopy" which enables local predictions to use global context. Great work led by @albertdm.bsky.social & another fun collab w @gioelelamanno.bsky.social! @scadsai.bsky.social

Does anyone ever get used seeing and hearing themselves? Other than the emotional self-cringe, the video is done super well! Thanks MIND! 👍

🧬 How do you see biology one molecule at a time? 🎙️ Watch the interview with Ralf Jungmann, guest of our “HT Seminars: Connecting Discoveries” series, on #DNA-PAINT and single-molecule spatial biology. youtu.be/nM7DZ-txXXA

😔 Paper rejected from MIDL with 5 (strong accept), a 2 (weak reject, that was initially a 3, borderline), and a no show third reviewer (initially a 4, weak accept). Zero answer from the AC despite us writing to them about R2 being a reviewer two… 🤷‍♂️ How is your Saturday?!? 😉

Proud and excited to share our work with the community! Helen @helenfoster.bsky.social Foster et al. study how #cilia axonemes are built. 👀 Don't miss the gorgeous and insightful movies by @margotriggi.bsky.social, they really show our discoveries in full action! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Excellent talk by Matteo Hessel from Google DeepMind at @humantechnopole.bsky.social earlier today! Thanks for dropping by and infecting us with the Meta-RL bug!

QI Class of 2025! Centroid = @sciencedoodles.bsky.social & @florianjug.bsky.social / first minima = @talley.codes & me. Applications for 2026 due on Friday! meetings.cshl.edu/courses.aspx...

🧠 #AI works best when it’s shared! The @ai4life.bsky.social project, co-led by our @florianjug.bsky.social, and Anna Kreshuk @embl.org, received the highest possible score in the @ec.europa.eu’s final review. 🔬 With open, ready-to-use resources! humantechnopole.it/en/news/ai4l...

🚨 Only a few days left to apply for maybe the best microscopy course there is!!! 🚨 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

🧬 Join the next talk with Ralf Jungmann (Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry) on #DNA nanotechnology and #spatialomics. Register by 11 February 👉 humantechnopole.it/en/training/... #HTseminars @florianjug.bsky.social

🚨 Alarm!!! 🚨 AI/ML course for microscopy image analysis!!! 🧐 In 2026 at Janelia (@hhmijanelia.bsky.social), no tuition, housing and meals provided! Isn’t that borderline unbelievable?!? 20 students, ~14 TAs and lecturers 🗓️ June 4-18 2026 ✍️ Jan 15 2026 ✍️ 🔁 pls!! www.janelia.org/you-janelia/...

As we wrap up the year, we’re reflecting on what AI4Life delivered and what continues beyond the project. AI4Life concluded in August 2025, but its outcomes remain central to FAIR, accessible AI-powered bioimage analysis. Here’s where to start: www.eurobioimaging.eu/news/ai4life...

Now… that sounds like an event NOT to miss!!! 🤩 (…notes down pre-registration reminder for mid-January… 📝)

Look who arrived!!! 🎉

Funding a research institute of some hundred people for 10 years? 1.5 Billion. Funding continued defense of a small country in a war for 2 or so years? 90 Billion. Elon Musk’s personal wealth? Estimated 750 Billion. We are fine! Please move on, there is nothing to see here… 🙏

🎉 In January, I will join the new "Multimodal AI Across Scales" research area at the @humantechnopole.bsky.social in Milan 🎉 More soon, but for now: my lab and the new area will have postdoc, RSE, and PhD positions available. Feel free to reach out if interested! humantechnopole.it/en/research/

The first phase of AI4Life ended in August 2025, so we caught up with Kreshuk and Jug to learn more about the project, its use, and what they hope its impact will be. 🔗 www.embl.org/news/lab-mat... 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLU6... @florianjug.bsky.social @humantechnopole.bsky.social

Just a regular morning in our madhouse… 😜

The new version of TrackMate, the v8.1 has just been released. It builds upon the recent v8, linked below, and offers two main improvements 👇

Yes, it would be nice to actually do something… doing nothing is exactly the behavior that motivates bullies to bully. 😔 www.spiegel.de/ausland/dona...

Today was an impressive day. Also mentally engaging… all around a day to remember! Who would have thought where AI will bring me? 😮 👍

Twitter, pre-Elon had a whole safety team that made sure things like this did not happen. What needs to happen now is that X needs to be sued into oblivion.

Invited talk by Zeynep @zey.bsky.social Tufekci at @neuripsconf.bsky.social was really very good! Title: Are We Having the Wrong Nightmares About AI? Spoiler: yep! 😉 Very thoughtful! Thanks!🙏

Invited talk by Rich Sutton at @neuripsconf.bsky.social was presenting the OaK architecture. A “scaffold” for superintelligent agents in which human inputs (at design time) are depreciated. 🧵

Currently at NeurIPS @neuripsconf.bsky.social. In 🇲🇽, not 🇺🇸. Workshops are running… you here too? What do you think so far? Be honest…

Shots being fired!!! 😱

PhD position in my lab in #AI #RNA, in co-supervision with superstar @florianjug.bsky.social www.polimi.it/dottorato/fu...

I’m at #AIS25 today and tomorrow… Where scientists, industry leaders, investors, and policymakers meet to explore the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on scientific discovery. I think this is a very important conversation we must have NOW! 👍

Hello from day 2 of #EESImaging 👋 After three very intesting talks about dynamic super-resolution microscopy this morning, participants used the coffee break to meet the speakers and discover the diverse offerings at our sponsor's booths ☕🔬📸
