I always get weirdly sad setting up/collecting my fish/embryos for the last time every year and hope that they have a happy holidays too

Pleased to say that Jonas Hartmann (bs-less) and I have finally released DySTrack (“diss track”) - Dynamic Sample Tracking. It’s a Python-based, modular tool that brings smart microscopy to everyday imaging on commercial systems. Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... [1/6]

My timely return to social media - just ahead of something fun we’re releasing next week! Until then here’s a movie of the zebrafish pLLP migrating past motor neurons and under the spinal cord as a teaser.

Thought I was being really novel when I designed and 3D printed this mold for zebrafish transplants based on the microinjection one, but found out today it already exists… Bottom: my PLA mold that’s bent from warm agarose Top: a very kind (more robust looking) gift from @mongeralab.bsky.social

BIOIMAGE ANALYSTS ASSEMBLE!!! #CBIAS2025

What a fun #CBIAS2025 !!

Courtney @courtneyl7a7.bsky.social has written a lovely piece on this wonderful community initiative we’ve been running for 5 years at UCL - have a read! And follow @biig-ucl.bsky.social !

Our second perspective talk was by Rob Tetley from Nikon Instruments with beautiful example movies developmental dynamics across scales sharing his experience in making the most of resonant scanning confocal imaging.
