Save the date! The @pasteur.fr Pasteur course on image analysis is announced: It will happen from the 1st of June to the 5th 2026. This year there will be only one track: the Early Career Investigator track (beginners). 👇

Are you easily able to provide details on any #data point and processing steps if you get a mean question by reviewer 2? Do you plan to publish #FAIR data? Let's talk about #DataManagement tips & tricks in active projects! @unibergen.bsky.social library webinar Sept 26th: www.uib.no/en/ub/178969...

Oh yes-the one and only Robert Haase @haesleinhuepf.bsky.social From #GrandTheftAuto to the impact AI is having on #bioimaging. +the challenges of creating AI courses for bioimage analysis, & his unique perspective as a programmer-turned-biologist. Stream- bit.ly/microscopist... @globias.bsky.social

I gave two seminars at @embl.org Heidelberg these days: One about using LLMs via #biabob for #BioImageAnalysis and one about how LLMs impact BioImage #DataScience Thanks EMBL for having me!

Paper alert!🧪 We derive a theory that underpins interface resistance with a physical foundation and look at how it changes droplet growth and recovery kinetics! Awesome collab with @bosste.bsky.social Tyler Harmon @hymanlab.bsky.social @m-pol.bsky.social and Frank Jülicher @mpipks.bsky.social 1/4

If you want to get started, here's a tutorial that I made: github.com/JoachimGoedh... Reach out if you have questions or want advice!!

(1/14) I’m happy and proud to introduce: SpinePy – a framework to detect the "spine" of gastruloids and measure biological and physical signals in a local dynamic 3D coordinate system. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Do NOT perform "image enhancement" with LLMs or AI for any forensic purposes whatsoever. The people doing this have no clue of how images are formed, nor of how AI/LLM image manipulations function. AI/LLMs introduce *NEW DATA* that leads to mis/dis information.

I'm sitting in a train with internet connection quality like everyone would expect it in central Germany, and I would like to thank ollama.com for its existence! 🤩 This response (< 5min, video in real-time) is generated using #ollama running locally on my laptop with 32GB Ram and an RTX 4070 GPU 🤯

The materials from the “Reproducible Bio-Image Analysis using #Python, #Napari, #Jupyter, and #AI” workshop, run by @haesleinhuepf.bsky.social as part of the @embo.org Course on #LightSheetMicroscopy, are now available #OpenAccess! 📗 scads.github.io/embo-lsm-bia... 📕 zenodo.org/records/1681...

Common mistake in LLM prompting projects: jumping into full-scale pipelines (datasets and inference) without testing feasibility. Iterating at scale is expensive and time-consuming. Start with ONE example to validate the hypothesis, verify context, debug the design, then scale.

In his #openaccess presentation on information retrieval methods and prompt engineering @haesleinhuepf.bsky.social#openaccesswill teach you how embeddings work and how they can be used to identify relevant documents.✨ 👉The publicly available presentation can be found here: https://zenodo.org/records/16894343

Check out this masterpiece of systematic #BioImageAnalysis 🤩

I just published a new video demonstrating how to use Pixi and Napari-Easy-Augment-Batch-DL for repeatable and reproducible deep learning segmentation. In this example, I use Pixi to set up a Python environment then launch Napari to explore and compare Cellpose3 and Micro-SAM. youtu.be/3ObAnSTBri8
