We just released a new major version of TrackMate (v8), the cell and organelle tracking plugin of Fiji. It ships many new features, detailed below, but that are articulated around the following:

My two favorite CUBEs 🙂

The FPbase spectra viewer just had it's biggest software refactor in 6 years. It *should* be largely invisible to the end user (hopefully just faster and less buggy). Please let me know if you find any issues as you use it! www.fpbase.org/spectra/

I did not know that the info I was looking for is right next to the canteen, just needed to walk the other direction. In exploring mode...

Episode 17 - perhaps my favorite yet. How do you write a forum.image.sc post that will get you the answers you need without revealing information you don't want to tell? @erinweisbart.bsky.social and I go through what the experts need to know to help you. Post your sci q's today on forum.image.sc !

Et c'est parti! 😍

Yes, that is so sad! ...and in her national team, she does not have a strong team who can effectively help her. She fights alone in the front with no team mates. Her cyclocross performance shows how strong and capable she is to win medals. She must be given a chance, else a wasted talent indeed.

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

I really like Gov. Tim Walz. I hope he runs for President. I believe he would be an excellent coach in empathy and humility for the entire world. One who could bring back humanity and peace.

Very proud to have helped the Lycée Français de Barcelone choose teaching microscopes (Motic). Today, I visited to demonstrate how to take for the microscopes, clean objectives, and learn about the microscopy teaching activities they run. It's great to find out that my French isn't that rusty! 🤩

Don't use red and green data lines/surfaces in the same panel please #chemsky. It can be difficult for some colorblind readers to differentiate them. I've accepted (in principle) 2 papers today, and both sets of authors were asked to remove red/green colour contrasts www.nature.com/articles/d41...

🏆 Research integrity consultant and image forensics expert @elisabethbik.bsky.social has uncovered fraudulent data in over 7,600 scientific papers and exposed the practices of ‘paper mills’ that produce counterfeit scientific articles. She is honoured with the €200K Individual Award. Congrats!

A gentle reminder that the deadline for registration is today. The workshop is virtual and free of charge. #Bioimage #Analysis #Microscopy #Euro-Bioimaging #PSF
