I need time to process this, but 43 miles, 7:18, second in my category

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!

Something new is coming soon! #uclccmd #evident

Saying goodbye to this

Is it for me is it for my daughter?… 🫣

My shirt is cooler than yours

One of my fav races ❤️

If you or your trainees are just getting started with image analysis of cells & are #CellProfiler -curious, here is a fairly thorough walk-through demo I did recently. Loading files, extracting metadata (fun with Regex!), identifying objects, measuring, filtering, QC, exporting: youtu.be/fO5nJdhj_7I

Managed a Christmassy pic of Osaka, worthy of sharing

I had so much fun showing microscopy to kids today, thanks to Native Scientist, and all in my own language! Already looking forward to the next one.

Stunning @anhhle2702.bsky.social 😍

is someone here using Opal 690? Pic not related as it's #FluorescenceFriday star-protocols.cell.com/protocols/37...

Back to reality after #CBIAS2025: two trainings today, a pile of analysis requests waiting in my inbox, and an experiment in a rush thanks to the pre-Christmas panic...

Enjoying my new sticker courtesy of @helenajambor.bsky.social, who also gave an amazing talk today at cbias

🔬There are 2 weeks left for applications in this round! 🔬Next deadlines are 31 March, 31 July and 30 November 2026! 🔬DM us for any queries!

BIOIMAGE ANALYSTS ASSEMBLE!!! #CBIAS2025

Topical conclusion from @helenajambor.bsky.social Scientists have tools to fight and make life better #CBiAS2025

Had a brilliant time at #CBIAS2025. Still not sure if I’m an intruder or a red panda, but I’ve definitely come back with lots of ideas for my users… and awesome stickers.

This is scary (although those “cells” look nothing like HeLa) but…

🤯

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:

Less than a week to go for #CBIAS2025! A few hours left to register, in person in London or online over Zoom (registration deadline on Nov 20th) Find out all the information at the link below: www.crick.ac.uk/whats-on/cri...

Big news! Our week-long #bioimageanalysis bootcamp is BACK! Learn how to think about bioimage analysis like the pros do, learn what corrections you should (and shouldn't!) apply to your images, learn open source tools, and more. Apply NOW at broad.io/BAB3 for our January 2026 course!

You can decrease the speed so I talk a normal pace!

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!

The advert for the second (wetlab) postdoc is now live www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

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.
