Data is the key to AI advances in biology and "Still, when it comes to data, nothing compares to the real thing." An important editorial in Nature methods with a nice little shout out to microSAM: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A really nice interview with Juan. Important messages: - "I think that universities are missing a trick in not investing more in this type of work [open source software development]" - "Never code alone."

It's hard to express how much gratitude I have to everyone involved in the journey, both mine and @napari.org's, that has led to this point. #EurekaPrizes A small attempt below: 👇
