First of (hopefully) many papers on obligate symbioses between an unicellular eukaryote and its Rickettsia-like symbiont🦠🧪🫧 Turns out the holobiont prefers to eat antisense molecules and not use them to silence their genes: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Only two weeks left to submit your abstract for #CBIAS2024 in London in November! The deadline is on August 26th, mark your calendars - we look forward to receiving your contributions and discussing all things image analysis with you! crick.ac.uk/whats-on/crick…

Finally, I got my very own picture of the northern lights. It’s nice to have parents who live in the middle of nowhere, or as we say in German: at the ass of the world.

1. This summer I've been thinking a lot about "cognitive load" which is term that has multiple definitions but for me means something like "the amount of processing, analysing, thinking, & deciding I can do in a day before my brain stops working" here's a short thread about that

More weather pics from the ass of the world 🌩️ ⛈️ ⚡️

ONE WEEK TO GO for sending your abstracts to #CBIAS2024 (deadline 23:00 BST August 26th)! We will select up to 10 talks from submissions, to join an exciting program including invited speakers, panel discussions, and a lot of opportunities for networking crick.ac.uk/whats-on/crick…

Want to learn how to use napari for bioimage analysis? We’re running a two-day training course for researchers with coding experience who want to learn the ins and outs of napari. 📅 27-28 November 📍 The Crick Apply now ⤵️ crick.ac.uk/whats-on/cbias…

I've create an #imageSc thread to follow up our GloBIAS seminar about #LLMs. It contains links to slides and exercises, and the video recording will follow soon. Looking forward to the discussion! 🔬🖥️🙂 forum.image.sc/t/globias-semi…

Want to learn how to use napari? We will also foray in Jupyter notebooks. Join us at The Crick in late November, immediately following the Crick BioImage Analysis Symposium crick.ac.uk/whats-on/cbias… Places are limited, so don't delay!

Straight after #CBIAS2024, on November 27-28th 2024, we will host a workshop on how to use napari🔬 for #bioimageanalysis - apply by September 15th! Organised by Giulia Paci, Marie Held 👩‍💻🔬💻🖼🔢 and Rocco D'Antuono crick.ac.uk/whats-on/cbias…

Join us for two fun & interactive days of image analysis with napari right after Crick BioImage Analysis Symposium at the The Crick 👩‍💻👨‍💻 apply now for your spot (some fee waivers are available!)

For additional sources of support, have a look at training grants for example the JCS-FocalPlane Microscopy Training Grant biologists.com/grants/jcs-foc… (deadline in 1 week!) FocalPlane J Cell Science

Assume you have access to the best LLM/AI for #BioImageAnalysis code generation: What would you ask it to code for you? 🙃 Please post your prompt below! Your input will become part of a public dataset shared under CC-BY 4.0, you will be acknowledged. #crowdsourcing Please RT. 🙏

A few more days to apply for the #CBIAS2024 napari workshop, taking place in London on November 27th-28th 2024! More information at the link below - application deadline on September 15th crick.ac.uk/whats-on/cbias…

Please do retweet, as this is a super important #mentalhealth podcast about scientists and their first hand experiences. I personally learnt so much that I have already been able to use. #MentalHealthMatters

Feedback from a listener - 'I just wanted to say that I have watched the podcast and I was blown away. It was extremely moving to hear and actually I'm not sure I have listened to anything better on the subject even on BBC Radio 4!! I have already passed it on to my immediate

Let me introduce: InstanSeg 🦠🔬💻👩‍🔬 This *would* have been a short thread about Thibaut Goldsborough’s PhD work… but he solved too many problems. Now it's a long thread about 2 preprints, a whole new approach to cell segmentation & #opensource software to make it easy to use

Only few places remaining and the deadline is close. Don't delay! 🔬🖼🏝📊👩‍💻👨‍💻

Want to run an #imageanalysis workshop? No idea where to start? Here's a primer to get you started, in collaboration with Martin Jones Stefania Marcotti Tom Slater authorea.com/doi/full/10.22…

#CBIAS2024 program will include 2 panel discussions - the first one, chaired by Tom Slater, will revolve around “Community initiatives in #bioimageanalysis” Sounds interesting? You still have time to register for the symposium in person and online! crick.ac.uk/whats-on/crick…
