An interesting global study on the state of #trust in scientists ⬇️ Worth reading eg where (European) countries stand,how trust differs betw. conservatives and liberals, what scientists should communicate & whether they should be involved in policy-making process. #SciComm #publicengagement #science

Thanks for this very nice publication and the comprehensive summary on #imageanalysis trainings. I can fully corroborate it. It is 100% consistent with my own experience over the last 12 years doing full time bioimage analysis workshops for young life scientists. #bia #microscopy #FIJI #biovoxxel

#BIAToolTip No.14 The Color Inspector 3D is a super useful tool to visualize color distribution in different color spaces for RGB images and can facilitate non-quantitative stain segmentation e.g. in IHC stainings. Available in #ImageJ and #Fiji #bioimageanalysis

1) The most important skill (in my humble opinion) for applying and evaluating deep learning tools are strong fundamentals in classical image processing, good experimental design skills and critical thinking. Powerful tool in many, many cases, if used properly, but in many cases not instant magic.

Followed @timnfeinstein.bsky.social most likely due to a starter pack. Liked his posts, checked his profile. Saw that he published a book. Bought it last week. Got it today. Just flipped through it and the first sentence in the preface cracked me up already. Gonna be an interesting read for sure. 🙏
