Thanks to generous funding from @bioimagingna.bsky.social, We were able to offer nearly half of our #BoBiAC2026 students fee waivers so that they could attend the course! The students also got to hear more about BINA programming & resources during a guest presentation from BINA 🔬

Few days left to apply!!!👇#BoBiAC

The Cimini lab is hiring for both postdocs and interns! The postdoc role will cover bioimage analysis projects and educational material creation; the intern will be working on our Bilayers project for helping distribute and access deep learning tools for bioimage analysis.

2 wks left to apply to join #BoBiAC2026! This course will teach you how to use Python to segment fluorescence images w/tools like @ilastik-team.bsky.social & CellposeSAM, & even how to measure cell features, neighborhood relationships, & colocalization. No coding experience needed! bobiac.github.io

My first corresponding author 🔬🎸🦾 rupress.org/jcb/article/... Ever wonder what the ultrastructure of dopaminergic neuron presynaptic sites looks like? Using cryo-CLEM/ET we observed the wild changes that happen at these sites when the neurons fire or are more quiet. In the latest @jcb.org

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

Today Hunter Elliott is lecturing on image processing. Key take-home before lunch: There is no free lunch:)

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

We opened 4 PhD positions at @humantechnopole.bsky.social together with Polimi (see 👇). My lab offers a PhD project on "Computational Morphogenesis": use state-of-the-art machine learning methods together with realistic simulations to build digital twins of developing tissue. Apply by March 26.

PAPER OUT ✨ How can we make smart microscopy more interoperable? What are the technical and cultural challenges? 30+ people from academia and industry propose a roadmap: doi.org/10.1515/mim-... Also a review of applications and repo of implementations. Join the discussion! smartmicroscopy.github.io

Apply to join #BoBiAC2026 this summer!
