BioImage analysis friends - King's are recruiting for a full-time, permanent facility position! Come and work with fun microscopes and fun people (and me!) - please share! www.kcl.ac.uk/jobs/126345-...

The provisional program for The 6th Crick Bioimage Analysis Symposium (#CBIAS2025) is live! Join us at the @wellcomecollection.bsky.social in London in November for incredible talks, posters and insightful discussions. Space is limited - register now! www.crick.ac.uk/whats-on/cri...

Absolutely amazing work by @ledbydonkeys.org, combining protest with brilliant journalism www.tiktok.com/@ledbydonkey...

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Our #CellLineOfTheWeek is nucleophosmin 1 - illuminating the nucleolus! 🧫 Our cell lines & plasmids are available for just the cost of shipping to reduce the barriers to scientific discovery. 📦 Distributed by @coriellinstitute.bsky.social & @addgene.bsky.social

The abstract submission deadline for #CBIAS2025 has just closed and, for the first time, we have a near perfect gender-balance in our abstract submissions. In fact, we have slightly more submissions from women than men.

Today we say farewell to Alicja Skórkowska, who returns to @jagiellonskiuni.bsky.social after a very productive 6 month stay with us. Alicja will be missed! However, we also welcome @lankylaste.bsky.social, who is now officially a @crick.ac.uk person!

Applications for our upcoming workshop close at the end of this week - don't miss out!

The #CBIAS2025 abstract deadline is this Sunday, August 31st. Submit your #BioImageAnalysis work, whether it’s a new tool or a biological discovery. #EarlyCareerResearchers, this is for you! Short and flash talk slots are up for grabs. www.crick.ac.uk/whats-on/cri...

At #CBIAS2025 we will also hear from Ewa Paluch from @cam.ac.uk. Ewa and their team take an interdisciplinary approach combining biology, imaging, mechanical testing and physical modelling to investigate the basic principles underlying animal cell morphogenesis 🔗👇 www.pdn.cam.ac.uk/directory/ew...

ONLY 11 MORE DAYS TO SUBMIT AN ABSTRACT FOR #CBIAS2025!!!

Tired of having to buy a new pair of scissors every 24 years?

Thanks Windows. I had not fully considered the consequences of disabling a device and how this would impact upon its functionality.

Ready to automate your #microscopy #imageanalysis tasks? Applications are now open for our next "Introduction to Image Analysis" training course, in London at the @crick.ac.uk on October 27th-28th, 2025! 🔬💻 More info ⬇️ www.crick.ac.uk/whats-on/int...

This is genuinely disturbing. 47% of Brits think most of us are here illegally and 45% think a "large number" of us should be "required to leave" www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

#AI is going to make public transport redundant? The public is increasingly being misled about the things AI is actually useful for because headline space is being given to billionaires who only found out about AI yesterday and have no clue what they're on about. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/dubl...

I will never not understand how a minority of people have decided that wind farms - significantly prettier than pylons, coal power plants, nuclear power plants, and almost certainly fusion power plants - are ugly. In terms of energy generation, what else are you hoping for that is better?

Join us virtually for 'Single-cell RNA-seq analysis with Python' from 2 – 6 February 2026: www.ebi.ac.uk/training/eve... This course covers the analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data using Python and command-line tools. @ebi.embl.org @events.embl.org 🧬🧪🖥️ #SingleCell #RNASeq

📢 We are recruiting! Several projects are available and can be tailored to the candidate's profile. Most include confocal imaging/spatial OMICs technologies. Please share and RT 🙏

Hey, it's out! doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... Aligning Big Brains and Atlases, ABBA in short, is published in Cell Reports @cp-cellreports.bsky.social . @biancasilvalab.bsky.social's lab added an analysis pipeline on top of it (BraiAn) and did all the relevant biological work. What is it ? Short thread:

I knew British tax was absurdly complicated, but not this absurd. Tremendously informative piece from @willdunn.bsky.social, with some radical, yet simple, solutions. Required reading for anyone concerned about future funding of British science (or the funding of anything at all, quite frankly).

Inspired by this video from @abeba.bsky.social, I tried something, and, well, all I can say is, wow. Just wow. youtube.com/shorts/OzqdE...

It's less than six years since Silicon Valley concluded and it already feels super nostalgic, from a time when we definitely viewed tech bros as ruthless ego-maniacs, but relatively harmless, nerdy ego-maniacs.
