I’m happy to share some plugins I’ve been developping this summer: "Channels and Contrast" and LUTs Manager!
I can’t find new bugs and ideas by now so I need your help to please test them in your machines and report bugs, feedbacks and ideas! forum.image.sc/t/looking-fo...

Writing, making mistakes during writing and correcting those mistakes (through feedback, labmeetings, and personal interaction) is fundamental to achieving not only "good quality" science, but also for getting to know yourself as a scientist. Writing reflects your inner thoughts.

Christophe 🔬 L @christlet.bsky.social · Jul 9

This is so upsetting. Outsourcing writing does not "free up time to do more science" it's just a step further toward becoming the CSO at the top of a managerial pyramid rather than being a scientist
