Had a great visit to KCL for my second Euro-BioImaging Node interview — and really nice to meet Andreas! The MIC renovation looks fantastic. Hope the interview shines a bit more light on all the brilliant technical work happening across the Nodes!

Halfway to I2K is BACK, friends of all kinds! Last year, 650 people attended 30+ TOTALLY FREE image analysis workshops of all kinds, across many timezones. If you make image analysis software and want to teach it, workshop submissions are open now! We'd love to have your tool highlighted.

The video Pairing time-lapse super-resolution microscopy with deep learning to track chromosome dynamics is now available on YouTube from the Virtual Pub Euro-BioImaging. Definitely worth watching—microscopy, analysis, and nice chromosome segregation (I know I’m a bit biased).

They prefer use an AI than ask technicians to do reviews. I have enough knowledge and experience for that task, but I’m sure my job title means I’d never ask to do one (apart from mdpi 🥱)
