Everyone who does quantitative microscopy should read this! It’s amazing how many ways we can bias our imaging experiments without realizing we’re doing it.
In 2019, Anna Jost & @jencwaters.bsky.social reviewed best practices for validating quantitative #microscopy methods & discuss strategies to avoid unconscious bias in imaging experiments rupress.org/jcb/article/...

I still can’t believe that all NIH grants to my colleagues at Harvard and Harvard Medical School have been nullified. And that, as a nation, we’re somehow okay with this illegal, arbitrary, and petty act. Just think of the consequences: scientists, students, and patients will all suffer.
