Hey, has anyone checked in with the Harpers letter guys? They doing OK?

Come and work with us 5-year position available for a University Researcher in Bioimaging 1.11.2025-31.12.2030 abo.rekrytointi.com/paikat/index...

This piece isn't bad, necessarily, it just falls into the pundit trap of "we can easily extrapolate from what came before to what will happen now". Nothing about the last 6 months leads me to believe that is a useful analytical framework in 2025.

From #ome-ngff-validator you can open open #OME-Zarr images in a bunch of viewers, and neuroglancer's rendering of multi-channel images just got a lot nicer: ome.github.io/ome-ngff-val... - See github.com/google/neuro...

If this isn't GOTY, there's no justice in this world.

Not going to get into the "what is a photo" debate, but I will say the zoom on the new pixel is really something. Here's a normal shot from my backyard. If you zoom way in on the top of the mountain you'll see a small village there.

Ok let's see what all the hype is about

Saddened to hear about the death of Jim Hudspeth. What a great loss.

Reading a book on the history of the late 19th/early 20th century and I'm beginning to suspect this Kaiser fellow might be up to no good.

Like most of the things Ian writes, this is very, very good.

This week, we have Jörg Bewersdorf 🔬 visit us at @humantechnopole.bsky.social. He gave a fantastic talk on Monday and a very useful ad-hoc microscopy workshop today. The future of Pan-labeled Expansion Microscopy will be amazing! 🌟 Thanks, Jörg, for visiting & sharing! 🙏

📢Release alert! BoneJ 7.1.4 is out now, bringing 💥100x faster💥 GPU-accelerated 3D Skeletonization, part of the new BoneJ+ extensions. You'll need a token to try it out, from bonej.org/shop Drop us a line [email protected] to get a coupon for a 100% discount on your first token.

Looks like a useful new tool

Starting up OnlyLabs, where people can pay to watch researchers who used to have federal funding do Hot Uncensored Cutting Edge science experiments.

Beautiful work

Thanks again to the great #bioinfocore folks for having me, and then letting me crash their panel and discussion groups. I think there's a bright future for image analysis and bioinformatics cores to work together.

Super fun to be at ISCB/ECCB in Liverpool talking image analysis, AI, and core facilities. Great discussions with everyone here!

Btw, and in the spirit of #OpenScience, all my #Napari #bioimage analysis #tutorials are freely available — from basics to #segmentation, #tracking, and #clustering. Feel free to explore and share ✌️ 🌍 www.fabriziomusacchio.com/teaching/tea...

Great to see @alexhego.bsky.social share instructions on a DL pixel‑classification problem we worked on at image.sc. If you’re working on a challenging 3D DL semantic‑segmentation problem and need more options than most tools provide, check out this repository. github.com/AlexHego/DL-...

Abolish the death penalty, except for people who watch TikTok videos on trains without headphones.

⛴️ BiaPy just reached version 3.6.1 💫 (latest release)! github.com/BiaPyX/BiaPy... ➡️ v3.6.1 came right after (the more dense) v3.6.0 to fix some small bugs 🐞 Let me tell you a bit about what's new 👇

Some very interesting stuff here 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

The last #GloBIAS seminar 'Fiji with Python power: the best of both worlds' by Curtis Rueden is now available on our YouTube channel: youtu.be/dJrn0qelBhg?... Curtis has also created a follow-up thread on image.sc: tinyurl.com/57w29ust a good place for further Q&A!

Key numbers in cell biology Having a sense of scale helps to think more rigorously and realistically about biological systems.

🔬API-first feature extraction for image-based profiling workflows If you need to obtain interpretable features from your segmented microscopy images, but want to do it in a fully automated way, we know the struggle. 1/6

It's Reason so as always you have to ignore the petty bullshit political hits (why is it important that a social movement occurred "during the Barack Obama administration"? 🤷🏻‍♂️), but otherwise this is something that we all need to be having a more nuanced discussion about than we currently do.

I always knew there was something off about PCR. Take one transcript and shamelessly copy it so you can distribute it to the masses? Downright un-american if you ask me.

I feel like there hasn't been much innovation in web browsers lately, but this is a game changer for those of us with, um, tab hoarding disorder.

Re: last thread, I've thought about it a bit more and I think this is a place where it could be helpful

Look, fine, this is a techically cool accomplishment, but I am still struggling to think of a use case for generating virtual fluorescent images. OK, you've got your fake fluorescence image. What are you gonna do with it? www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Are you looking for a postdoc? I will be looking for 2-4 people after the summer to join the lab !! Do not hesitate to reach out and disseminate !!

I'm an experienced hiker. Last summer I was out in the Alps with two other experienced hikers on a three-day and regular, non-AI AllTrails fucked us so badly that we had a serious discussion about whether/when we should call for rescue. This is a terrible idea.

This is a great little conference tip
