Make your own sticker against #Fascism

Woody Guthrie used his music to fight in the 1940ies. Let his guitar be a reminder to us that we all have tools available to stand up.
As biologists, we are trained to See, Understand, Document, and Report - let's apply these today!

Woody Guthrie inspired sticker with a microscope - and photo of Woody Guthrie with his guitar that famously was decorated with the words "this machine kills fascists".

#CBIAS2025 discussion about software maintenance is turning into stories from the graveyard.

"Tool only opens image file format that does not exist anymore, so we use a selfmade Matlab script to convert it, to then run on on the machines in one lab....." 🥴😭

“Data Vis for Cancer Patient Education“ - a #DataVis #BioVis talk

Link & Abstract: alt-text and also:
biovis.net/2025/meetup/ (right under picture)
Location: Join Zoom Meeting https://tu-dresden.zoom-x.de/j/67863904836?pwd=mVqoyB6DlxAbFAtN7kx0Ka62KHFmUJ.1 Meeting ID: 678 6390 4836 Passcode: BioV!s2025 Cancer care is increasingly guided by precision data, such as patients metabolomic, genetic, transcriptomic, or immune status. This poses a challenge for clinicians to communicate treatment decisions. To bridge this gap we therefore developed, evaluated, and adopted visual treatment timelines for cancer patient education. Data visualizations help humans to understand data and are especially effective to communicate risks, uncertainties, or large data and have proven to be a suitable help in cancer communication.

Tatata-tarte tatin! My annual tradition of making the most fancy apple pie there is: fluffy pastry and sour, caramelized apples. I had 3 (!) slices 😍

Love my #staub pan with removable handles...
And, off to the oven... A pan filled with apples covered with pastry, next to it 2 apples and quince. Here we go, boiling hot... 3,2,1... Pan after baking, the pastry is now puffed and browmed ... And flipped!! It worked!! The apples tarte was removed from the pan and flipped upside down. Pastry is now the bottom , the apple halves in Carmel sit atop.

Getting Rosalind Franklin’s story right is crucial, because she has become a role model for women going into science

What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

Why can our farts ignite? Time to find out (and quite a bit more) in our new paper in Nature Microbiology led by the amazing Dr Cait Welsh. Integrating atomic-to-ecosystem level insights. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
A widespread hydrogenase supports fermentative growth of gut bacteria in healthy people - Nature Microbiology
A previously uncharacterized microbial enzyme is responsible for the production of molecular hydrogen in the gut, which drives the growth of other bacteria and has implications for human health.

Das crazy! Die Bundesregierung will Geld sparen – setzt aber den komplett falschen Fokus. Das belegen die Zahlen eindeutig. Für uns ist glasklar, wo wir den Schwerpunkt setzen müssen! Was denkt ihr?

“Collaborating with Biomedical AI through Visual Explanations and Interactive Guidance“ - a #DataVis #BioVis talk by
Qianwen Wang, Univ Minnesota

Link: biovis.net/2025/meetup/ (right under picture)
Abstract: see alt-text
Announcement for talk: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has advanced at a rapid pace and is expected to revolutionize many biomedical applications. However, current AI methods are usually developed via a data-centric approach regardless of the usage context and the end users, posing challenges for domain users in interpreting AI, obtaining actionable insights, and collaborating with AI in decision-making and knowledge discovery. In this talk, I discussed how this challenge can be addressed by combining interactive visualizations with interpretable AI. Specifically, I present two methodologies: 1) visualizations that explain AI models and predictions and 2) interaction mechanisms that integrate user feedback into AI models. Despite some challenges, I will conclude on an optimistic note: interactive visual explanations should be indispensable for human-AI collaboration. The methodology discussed can be applied generally to other applications where human-AI collaborations are involved, assisting domain experts in data exploration and insight generation with the help of AI.
