Hello! Very excited to share our latest preprint, which is great news for us but terrible news for any diehard fans of PSNR and SSIM as image quality metrics in microscopy... (1/5) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

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: 👇

Cell tracking is never perfect, and it's important to understand the types of errors your solution contains. Here is my stab at this: Divisualisations in @napari.org. github.com/bentaculum/d... You spin tracks out upwards from the playing video. Green edges are correct, FP in magenta, FN in cyan.

New release: napari-omero 0.5.0 😀@openmicroscopy.org @napari.org thanks to some big contributions from @psobolewskiphd.bsky.social , @will-j-moore.bsky.social and of course @talley.codes. Some features in spotlight 👇 First: napari-omero now supports lazy loading of image pyramids from OMERO🔺:

Mo and Hans's work here is truly a landmark in dense structural imaging, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Do yourself a favor and check out the Neuroglancer links and get an early glimpse at a technique I'm confident we'll see more and more over the next few years.

Nein, liebe ARD, so geht das nicht weiter. Mit der heutigen Einstufung der AfD als gesichert rechtsextreme Partei haben sich die Umstände geändert und das muss auch Konsequenzen im Programm haben.
