giving someone your only copy of a book is always touching, but i saw a tweet a few months ago that described good mentorship as a relationship where your mentor is preparing you to be their peer. that was this relationship and im so grateful.

Check out our latest published manuscript: SurFlex microscopy, a new technique to measure molecular flexibility. Congrats to Aymeric, Sid (@SidAg92), Lena (@lfblackmon) and Andrés (@adextre521)! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

@rawlzzzz specifically peaches at the dreadlock salon is soooo sweet

Happy to see @Tingting_Wu_'s review chapter on 6D dipole-spread function engineering now online doi.org/10.1007/978-3-… @WashUengineers @WashUESE A big thanks to @JinyangLiang for putting such a great volume together! doi.org/10.1007/978-3-…

So excited to see our work on "Profiling the proximal proteome of the activated μ-opioid receptor" using APEX-based proximity labeling and quantitative mass spec published today. It is the result of an amazing team effort! nature.com/articles/s4158… #TeamMassSpec #Proteomics #GPCR

(1/5) Attention, Cellular Imaging Enthusiasts! Thrilled to share that our Analysis "The Multi-modality Cell Segmentation Challenge: Towards Universal Solutions" has been published in Nature Methods (@NatureMethods) 🎉🎉🎉 Cell segmentation is a critical component of microscopy image analysis, but existing algorithms are often specialized for particular types of images or demand users to manually set hyper-parameters, posing challenges for biologists without a strong computational background. To address these issues, we organized an international challenge at NeurIPS 2022 to promote the development of novel cell segmentation methods that excel across a wide array of microscopy images, imaging platforms, and tissue types. 🌐 Homepage: uni-cellseg.github.io 📄 Paper: nature.com/articles/s4159… 🔬Data: neurips22-cellseg.grand-challenge.org/dataset/ 🏅Competition website: neurips22-cellseg.grand-challenge.org 👇 👇👇👇

Attention organelle enthusiasts!! I am beyond thrilled to introduce Nellie: a fully automated pipeline for organelle segmentation, tracking, and hierarchical feature extraction in 2D/3D live-cell microscopy. paper: arxiv.org/abs/2403.13214 github: github.com/aelefebv/nellie 🧵1/N

🚀🚀🚀

🚨#preprint alert🚨 We formulated "A Call for FAIR and Open-Access Training Materials to advance Bioimage Analysis" jointly with @tischitischer @petebankhead @cmci_ and @CiminiLab 🔬🖥️📞 doi.org/10.31219/osf.i…

Next up in our FocalPlane features… webinar series we’re focussing on microscopy education, and we’re delighted to have talks from Jennifer Waters @JenCWaters and Robert Haase @haesleinhuepf! For more information and to register: focalplane.biologists.com/2024/03/28/foc… #FocalPlaneFeatures

cute blebs💖 myosin in grey, actin in color. you can see the actin cortex reassembling on the retracting blebs

@mariana_deniz LOL

Fun news! Delighted that thanks to @mariana_deniz , we now have the BioimagingGuide available in Spanish - please do check out es.bioimagingguide.org ! She goes on our list of translation superstars with @SchatzCz (Czech) and @mccruz07 (Portuguese). ¡Muchísimas gracias Mariana!

Excited to share my PhD work in @pgolshani 's lab designing and building low-cost miniature 2P microscopes with everyone! They cost < $10k USD (even at low production runs), are fitted with 2 on-board SiPM detectors, and are completely open-source! 1/5 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

WE NEED COMPUTATIONAL PEOPLE IN BIOLOGY. WE NEED THEM IN DRUG DISCOVERY AND MULTI OMICS. WE NEED HARDWARE PEOPLE TO BUILD SPECIFIC AND PORTABLE DEVICES. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY WE NEED DEVS. WE NEED TO MAKE OPEN ACCESS DATA AS ACCESSIBLE AS POSSIBLE. WE NEED COMPUTE GRANTS. GIVE

@keshawnrants one year i made a bumblebee costume by putting a pillow under a black and yellow mens xxl striped polo (so i could be a chonky bee) but then all my friends beat me up because the pillow made me "fun to punch"

@avtytla Ooh!

@jlsteenwyk 👖🥳

Submitted my first manuscript with my post-doc advisor—the twitterless and super awesome Nicole King. So stoked to share it with everyone when it comes out!!!🥳🥳😊😊

📢 npj Imaging is now Open for Submissions! 📢 Our latest journal, #npjImaging is your new avenue for all aspects of imaging research 🔬🩻 Head to: nature.com/npjimaging/ (1/4)

With the launch of #npjImaging, I’m delighted to say that @rita_strack has joined the team as Advisory Editor. Together, we are looking forward to building a Journal that serves both the bioimaging and molecular imaging communities. Check out the scope & submit your paper today!
