#Nanoimaging symposium @crick.ac.uk! At #CrickXrays25 we'll tackle: 💫synchrotron upgrades 📈current limits in throughput, volume, resolution 🧪sample preparation for X-ray PC imaging 🧠♥️applications in neuroscience and tissue life science 🗓️13th October 2025 🇬🇧🌐 London & online tinyurl.com/crickxrays25

We are recruiting for a project extending our current work using machine learning for fluorescent biosensors at Janelia! We have both experimental and computational positions posted: hhmi.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern... hhmi.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern...

I gave a talk at Blender Conference yesterday, showing how biological volumes work, and how to visualize them in Blender 😋 youtu.be/WPajSWX730o?... #bcon25

We are looking for an #AIEngineer to help build protein language models that capture evolutionary constraints with @matsen.bsky.social and @jbloomlab.bsky.social at #AI@HHMI @hhmijanelia.bsky.social hhmi.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern...

LAST CALL! Please take the anonymous, 10-minute survey so we can learn more about the computational needs of the volumeEM community: forms.office.com/e/eMAJGCKUnc The survey will close on Friday 19th September, so make sure your voice is heard!

Super happy to see CLEM-Reg out in @natmethods.nature.com! A short thread on the algorithm behind it and how to try it out for yourself🧵(1/9) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We're happy to announce the 2025 International OME-NGFF workshop 🎉 📅 Dates: - Symposium: Nov 10–11, 2025 - Hackathon: Nov 12–14, 2025 📍 Location: Zurich, Switzerland Full details & registration: www.biovisioncenter.uzh.ch/en/events/Up...  #bioimaging #openscience #OMENGFF #OMEZarr (1/x 🧵)

Once is an exception, twice is a trend, thrice is a tradition! Save the date for our now-traditional annual OME-NGFF extravaganza in Zurich! Whether you’ve just heard about OME-NGFF and are curious to learn more or if you are working with it every day, there is something for everyone this year!

It was a good experience to step back and briefly take stock of the amazing progress in connectomics since I started working on this stuff (20 years ago!) thanks as well to @natrevneuro.nature.com for the constructive editorial interactions.

How is the nervous system organized to coordinate behavior? To approach this massive question, a team led by @asbates.bsky.social, @jasper-tms.bsky.social, @mindyisminsu.bsky.social, & Helen Yang present the BANC: a Brain and Nerve Cord connectome. Preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2025... 🧪#Neuroskyence

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...

Hey, it's out! doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... Aligning Big Brains and Atlases, ABBA in short, is published in Cell Reports @cp-cellreports.bsky.social . @biancasilvalab.bsky.social's lab added an analysis pipeline on top of it (BraiAn) and did all the relevant biological work. What is it ? Short thread:

Super excited to announce a follow-up to the Janelia 'mechanistic basis of foraging' conference - this time held in Birmingham, UK! Join us from the 3rd - 5th November to discuss all things foraging: uobevents.eventsair.com/the-mechanis...

I've put some BigDataViewer demos in #Fiji 's PTBIOP update site. Check them out ! forum.image.sc/t/new-bigdat...

Are you looking to advance your bioimage analysis skills? Then don't miss the deadline for #EMBOBioImage 🔬✨ 📩 Apply by 4 June ➡️ https://s.embl.org/bia25-01-bl#EMBOBioImage🗓️ 14 – 19 September 📍 EMBL Heidelberg and Virtual

In the context of our @reviewcommons.org revision process, I'm happy to announce Microscopy Nodes v2.2.0! This packs lots of new fun features, including new color management 🌈, clearer transparency handling 🫥, custom default settings 🔧 and more! Preprint at doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Our latest fundamentals blog post provides an overview of @zarr.dev and its open-source ecosystem. Read more: earthmover.io/blog/what-is...

(almost) every talk from OME 2025 is now on YouTube! If you care about microscopy data and about open-source, you should definitely check them out. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Episode 5 - sure, most cells have one nucleus, but what happens when they DON'T? @erinweisbart.bsky.social and I try to get to the bottom of what on earth you can do when your cells and nuclei just don't match up on the latest episode of "Ask Erin/Dear Beth"

Any scikit-image fans in Vienna? The skimage team would like to meet in Vienna for a code sprint Aug 14-16 ahead of EuroSciPy. We'd super appreciate it if someone's workplace can host us! All we need is electricity, natural light, and (most important) walking distance to coffee. ☕️😂🙏
