If you run the ezgui code in the terminal it gives you a TUI, if in Jupyter a notebook GUI (same code), meaning that the UI adapts to you run context. Plus it remembers your settings and dynamically reloads/saves them

Huge kudos to the team that made this happen: the brainchild of Bruno Saraiva, with contributions from Iván Hidalgo-Cenalmor, António Brito, Damián Martínez, and Tayla Shakespeare! 🙌 We built this to simplify how we interact with our own tools. Hope you find it useful too! 👇

We also needed something flexible for modern AI workflows 🤖. With EZInput, you get cross-environment support: same code, same interface. It works as a widget in Jupyter/Colab OR as a TUI in the terminal. 🖥️ Perfect for prototyping and then accelerating experimentation on the cluster 🚀

We always loved how ImageJ "remembers" your last used values. We missed that in notebooks! 🧠 EZInput gives your Python scripts that same memory. It handles validation and persists inputs between sessions. This reduces manual repetition and makes reproducibility much easier 📝✨

The SMLM people reading...

Many of these are from @guijacquemet.bsky.social lab, who is rocking side by side as we develop #RxivMaker together

#Linux and #Windows (using wsl), if you have #pipx you can just:

# Install
pipx install rxiv-maker

# Verify
rxiv check-installation

# Create test manuscript
rxiv init test-paper
cd test-paper

# Generate PDF
rxiv pdf

If you want to give it a try and you're using #MacOs with #brew, its as easy as running:

# Install
brew tap henriqueslab/formulas
brew install rxiv-maker

# Create test manuscript
rxiv init test-paper
cd test-paper

# Generate PDF
rxiv pdf

Check out rxiv-maker.henriqueslab.org/examples/sho... to have a look at the preprints already using #RxivMaker

Wuhuuu!!!
I miss you Christophe! Lets gather the peeps after new year over zoom and have a very awkward virtual-beer together

Sure, if cells obey well-defined temporal distributions between states (cell cycle, differentiation, ...) you can expect phototoxicity to modulate their timing, both in vitro and in vivo. @jytinevez.bsky.social has a nice book chapter showing this in live c elegans microscopist.co.uk/files/wp-con...

Frogs and cockroaches will outlive us all once the ETs put us under the cosmic solar microscope
