I've seen this floating around a lot, but it really is a fantastic video essay

Been a while since I did this so I'm behind, but here's another batch of tools (somewhat) fresh from the bioRxiv)

Segment large images without tiling artifacts: sharing our work that should have been presented at ICCV in 2 weeks - the brilliant first author Elena can’t go because of visa issues. The paper: arxiv.org/abs/2503.19545 1/🧵

Hello, world! We are starting a worker cooperative to build, maintain, teach, and support open source scientific imaging software. image.coop/blog/posts/2...

🔬 Looking for experts in AI to shape the future: Join the AI in Science Working Groups (AISWGs) of the SCIANCE project - of which #EuroBioImaging is a partner. Great opportunity to influence research & innovation priorities in AI for science! More info ⤵️ www.eurobioimaging.eu/news/shape-t...

Excited to share my first PhD project: LabConstrictor 📒🐍 Have you ever created a Jupyter notebook with all your love 🫶, only for others to be unable to install it 🥲? LabConstrictor, comes to solve this! Check out how it works in the preprint 🔗 arxiv.org/abs/2603.107... or follow this thread ⬇️

This has been my experience. I needed a way to validate cell tracks and the existing stuff didn't do exactly what I wanted or was too overbuilt. So in about 15 minutes I built a full napari GUI with exactly the features I needed using Claude.

Our London-based imaging facility is currently looking for a research software engineer to help develop analysis pipelines for spatial omics. Job advert accessible via our homepage: swcmicroscopy.com Our Neuroinformatics facility also hiring for related roles: neuroinformatics.dev

Lots of great stuff in here

HOW is this not a @theonion.com article?

We’re excited to share our latest preprint on Fractal: our approach towards FAIR bioimage analysis at scale with OME-Zarr-native workflows. Fractal defines interoperable tasks on OME-Zarr and provides a platform for TB-scale image analysis. (1 / 10🧵) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Counterpoint: Every single American anywhere in the world should be asked this question and if the answer is wrong, be given one chance to politely leave before they're thrown out. Fuck your vacations.

Also: forcing all ships to cram into small space that flyey explodey things can still fly to and explode is bad idea.

It's UPLOAD DAY for ***THE PEOPLE UNITED: A Memoir of Hope and Resistance During Trump's First Term*** by Indivisible Montgomery founder (and my husband) Chris Pickett. Woohoo! Coming April 15, 2026, from Hop On Publishing! #writers #writersky #resist #memoir #CNF @chrispickett5.bsky.social

Snoozles

This is one of the most heart-breaking & important articles I have ever read - from someone whose voices are so rarely heard, a teenaged girl. If you want to understand online misogyny in all its devastating impact, please read this shattering piece. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Super cool that we're doing global economic policy based on the daily whims of a sundowning racist. 10/10 great job American voters.

Conad is the CVS of Italy. *Somewhere* on this receipt is the barcode I need to exit the self service area.

When I worked for the government we had to pay personally for drinking water.

Same energy

The thing is that 10 years ago transformers hadn't been invented and most people (me included!) would have told you that it would be impossible to get in 10 years to where we are today. But lots of people here are strangely confident about where this tech is going to be 10 years from now.

The ruins of the Linari abbey. First described in 1045, now not much remains.

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...

I swear to God Europe has the worst power plugs on the planet. Just absolute garbage. They either fall out of their sockets if you look at them wrong, or won't come out without a forklift. Just absolute clown show shit.

I hesitate to jump into this, but I think this is a useful illustration of the distinction between activists and academics. Is this historically accurate? Is this helpful right this minute to the people putting their bodies on the line on the streets of Minneapolis? Two very different Qs.

Re-upping: if you want to learn microscopy and image analysis - REALLY learn them, in an intense and hands on way - this is a really great place to do it. Applications close Jan 30 meetings.cshl.edu/courses.aspx...

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Europe needs to realize that the only thing trump understands is strength. Cower before him and he'll ask for more and more. Smack him in the face and he'll run away like the scared little bitch he is.

Tonight was the Falò San Nicolò, where the first of two factions in Pontremoli compete to see who can build the biggest fire 🔥

Dmitry hits the nail on the head here. We have to pretend that the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet are serious people because a collection of the other dumbest motherfuckers on the planet decided to give them the keys to the car.

Halfway through heated rivalry and I'm 10X more invested in Hunter/Kip than I am in Rozanov/Hollander 😂

Big news! The Data Management team/Data Science Centre at EMBL (i.e. my team) is hiring for a position based in Heidelberg (but working across all sites!). We are looking for a scientific workflows developer that will focus on multimodal pipelines. embl.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/EMBL/j...

I don’t think we should have ceded control quite so quickly and without so much as a fight.

I am looking for two postdocs to join our lab - One (bio)image analyst - One cell biologist interested to work on lymphatics! The positions will open soon, be in touch!

Want to up your microscopy and image analysis game? Applications open now for QI 2026! Join us in cold spring harbor for two weeks of intensive training in all things microscopy.

I will never forgive anyone who voted to give this piece of shit the power he has now. Never.

THUCYDIDES: In my book I invented the Melian Dialogue as a cautionary tale DIPSHITS TALKING ABOUT IR WHO WANT TO SOUND SMART: At long last, we have done the Melian Dialogue from the classic book Don't Do the Melian Dialogue

This is basically the view of the world that Plato sets out to refute in the Republic. One of the core questions asked therein is: why do powerful people think the mere fact of them exercising dominion makes it good for them to do so? Sure, you *can* get away with stuff if you're powerful - so what?

Wake up babe new deranged import just dropped

A good start, but Europe needs to be very clear-eyed about where the world is right now, and where it could be headed.

It's honestly a bit surprising how much more complex image analysis gets once you're in the regime of images too big to fit in memory. All of the solutions you do (use zarr! Split the image!) come with a whole host of issues that you've never had to think about until you run into them.

I'm super excited to announce that I will join the Human Technopole @humantechnopole.bsky.social in Milan in April 2026 as a Research Group Leader.

some identify publicly with the left because they hate oppression, others because they hate being oppressed. things will make more sense when you keep in mind that these are not the same - or even similar

This fucking piece of shit cannot die soon enough

Whichever dipshit wrote this article was definitely not hired based on merit.

Hell yeah, cima di rapa season is back on.
