My new ImageJ / Fiji toolkit is out 🔥! The goal is to make image handling & visualization easy, with an intuitive interface! Install it on Fiji with the "Image Viewer" update site #microscopy #ImageJ #FluorescenceFriday #microscopyMonday imagej.net/plugins/imag...

Thank you to the organisers Constadina Arvanitis, @mariodelr.bsky.social, Helena De la Torre, @marianadeniz.bsky.social, María Fernanda Latorre Barragán and Licyel Lenny Paulas Condori. Find out more about this week's Workshop: biologists.com/workshops/gl... #BiologistsWorkshops

Our morning session started with talks on the open science ecosystem from Tobias Wenzel & Hernán Grecco. Both speakers emphasised the importance of training. Quote of the day so far, “By democratising science, we strengthen democracy!” #BiologistsWorkshops focalplane.biologists.com/2022/10/11/a...

Aníbal Vargas Ríos updated us on the success of LiSIUM and then discussed differences in engagement when offering webinars in Spanish, highlighting the importance of considering language in democratising access. #BiologistsWorkshops lightsheetchile.cl

Our attendees receive a special welcome in Baños, including our Workshop organiser, Licyel Lenny Paulas Condori. Licyel set up ‘Microscopia Para Todos’, a STEAM outreach programme in Bolivia. Read more about Licyel & her project⤵️: focalplane.biologists.com/2023/04/25/a... #BiologistsWorkshops

Andrés Romero-Carvajal @andresro40.bsky.social shared his research on frogs, fish & education, & concluded with discussing access to microscopy technology in Latin America and his experience in Ecuador. focalplane.biologists.com/2023/07/04/a... #BiologistsWorkshops

Dina Arvanitis @camatnu.bsky.social presented fluorescence microscopy 101, discussing the pros and cons of different methodologies. Take home messages: fancier microscopy ≠ better research; think NA, NA, NA! #BiologistsWorkshops

The attendees are gathered, and the meeting room is ready. The next organiser that we are highlighting is Fernanda Latorre Barragán. You can read about Fer’s career in this interview with @marianadeniz.bsky.social from 2023. #BiologistsWorkshops focalplane.biologists.com/2023/07/25/a...

Final planning with some of the organisers! Helena de la Torre is one of our local organisers. Helena studied at University of Glasgow before returning to Universidad Técnica de Ambato in Ecuador. Discover more about Helena's career: focalplane.biologists.com/2023/07/18/a... #BiologistsWorkshops

So humbled and grateful for this opportunity, but want to emphasize that none of this would be possible without @marianadeniz.bsky.social who not only had the idea and did the work for the nomination, but saw in me something that I did not. It has been an honor to work with and learn from her. (1/2)

By studying the brains of autistic girls, we now know the condition presents differently in them than in boys, suggesting that huge numbers of women have gone undiagnosed

We are featuring Mariana De Niz, co-organiser of our 2025 Global South Workshop, former @prelights.bsky.social author and @focalplane.bsky.social correspondent, as an extraordinary biologist this week. #100biologists @marianadeniz.bsky.social
