New favorite way to color code microscopy data: this is a real 3D confocal image of an unidentified larvae stained for actin (muscles fibers here). Looks like a watercolor painting! #microscopy #ImageJ #FluorescenceFriday #microscopyMonday

New resource for teaching and learning BioImage Analysis, long in the making, from @tischi.bsky.social and friends, incl. @carpentries.carpentries.org. With roots in the material developed for NEUBIAS workshops.

wheeeeee!

Holy cow what a couple innings!! Bonkers! #GoPhils

Announcing a Multiplex Image Analysis and Computational Pathology workshop through the Quantitative BioImaging Society Talks on cell segmentation and phenotyping, data normalization, spatial analysis, and more! Hosted by @lji.org in San Diego, CA, Sept. 15-16 quantitativebioimaging.com/miacp2026/

This is the kind of things PhD student Louis can do with @ekatrukha.bsky.social's CurveMorph: following protein movement whithin growing axons in his stunning 80-hour movies

Keeping track of OME-Zarr support across the ecosystem isn't always easy. Over the past few weeks, we've been speaking with stakeholders about experiences, successes, and remaining gaps. Here is our snapshot of where things stand and where effort may be most valuable next: image.coop/blog/posts/2...

Fun time at the ballpark yesterday, even if the Phils didn't manage to pull out a W. #GoPhils

🔬 Tutorial Spotlight: Build custom image analysis tools without starting from scratch. Tim shows you napari's power for microscopy, satellite data, and everything between 🛰️ Extend, visualize, annotate like a pro! #SciPy2026 🔗 scipy2026.scipy.org

Okay here it is: my mom's Punjabi curry recipe. It's super flexible and can be modified for almost anything, which I'll point out. Reposted from twitter in the before times

I'm happy to announce the summer 2026 Open Bioimaging Practices meetings schedule. Before the summer holidays, we have 2 exciting meetings planned to learn about all things OME-Zarr.

🎉 Announcing the naPLari hackathon in Kraków, Poland 🇵🇱, July 24–29 2026, after EuroSciPy! Hack on napari, join deep dives, meet the team. All experience levels welcome! 📝 Register by July 1: napari.typeform.com/naplari-hack #napari #ScientificPython #OpenSource #EuroSciPy #BioImageAnalysis

No matter how it improves in the future , I will never feel the same level of fondness for matplotlib as I feel, deep in my bones, for ggplot😍🥰

A CAREER-HIGH 13 STRIKEOUTS FOR CRISTOPHER SÁNCHEZ!

📣 If you’re at #PyConUS2026 next week, catch Inessa Pawson and @juanitagomezr.bsky.social at the Community Showcase on Sunday with flyers and stickers for #SciPy2026! 🙌 If you have questions about the conference or just want to connect with the community, this is your chance 🎉

A milestone day for our team with the publication of our work on biocatalytic cascades for macrocyclic peptide manufacturing. This establishes a new beachhead in the synthesis of this important new modality for the industry! #MerckChemistry

Member Eric Perlman takes the stage at @embl.org to announce our launch as an international worker co-op for #OSS scientific imaging software. First task supported by @biohub.org is accelerating #OMEZarr towards a 1.0 alpha early 2027. Stay tuned! image.coop #GIDE2026 @gideproject.bsky.social

The Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS) is looking for a new Editor-in-Chief! This is a volunteer position (as everything else at JOSS), but a great chance to steer one of the coolest things in the academic publishing realm. blog.joss.theoj.org/2026/05/call...

This course also pairs nicely with @jcellsci.bsky.social [email protected] training grant funding, which has an application window open until May 8th! Funding Info: www.biologists.com/grants/jcs-f...

SIXERS!

LETS GO FLYERS!!

Kiya Govek from The Jackson Laboratory gave the inspiring opening lecture at the #OME2026 meeting, bringing us the community contributor perspective based on her online community survey. Next up: An Update from the OME Ecosystem

DEADLINE Extended - you now have until Monday, May 4th! May your workshop be with all of us. :)

Maybe journals aren’t the root cause of problems in academia just a symptom…

One, two… #flyers

1/ 🔬🧑‍💻 Tired of going back and forth between GUIs and code for your 3D image analysis needs? Would you like to keep your focus in one place (notebook), without sacrificing interactivity? Here’s a tool that can help!

#HappyMicroscopyMonday #microscopycommunity- Wayne S. Rasband Open Source Imaging Award recognizes individuals advancing open source imaging software or hardware by making tools freely accessible, modifiable, and impactful. Nominate or apply by May 1, 2026! buff.ly/5DYr7UO

If any1 wants to try my very unpolished and unfinished TUI plasmid editor in its very pre-alpha form, I reserved a slot on the ol pip bandwagon. Just type in: pip install splicecraft and I recommend runnin this often to update: pip install --upgrade splicecraft It's a WIP 💚

@talley.codes teaching about digital cameras. Remember Airy disks?

We have some good news, regarding the 19th @openmicroscopy.org (#OME) Community Meeting from 28.-30.4.2026! To ensure that everyone can participate, we have decided to hold the event in a hybrid format. 👉 Receive further information about your online participation: gerbi-gmb.de/machform/vie...

OMG Not like that! 😭

Heck of a season and game by #DukeWBB Gonna miss Ashlon and Taina 😭

I'm happy to present our new tool, EpiCure, a napari plugin to ease correction of segmentation and tracking of epithelia movies, developed in @devstempasteur.bsky.social

Friday fun with: pyapp-kit.github.io/ndv/latest/ pymmcore-plus.github.io/ome-writers/ github.com/zeiss-micros... - run an acquisition in ZEN - capture the pixel stream via ZEN API - write it directly to an OME-ZARR using ome-writers - display it in the NDV viewer. Also works with @napari.org 😉

It may be controversial, but my new paper explores the use of AI to produce a podcast to support student learning. It reflects on the pros & cons, and collects student feedback providing rich insight into their attitudes to AI. @chemistryatyork.bsky.social @york.ac.uk pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

This was a lot of work but I'm so happy we could make it happen as a community. Huge thanks to the steering council and everyone that participated in the discussion!

First paper as first & corresponding author, out in PLOS Computational Biology! 🎉 napariTFM brings traction force & monolayer stress microscopy into napari, accessible via GUI; open-source, validated and no coding required. 😉 Check it out 👇
