The Austrian version would be "Watschengesicht". You're welcome to use it.

Yesterday, we took microscopy to a whole new level! 🔬 Nexperion visited a local kindergarten to explore the amazing microcosmos with the next generation of scientists. Did not succeed to install #SerialEM on this microscope, though.

Any scikit-image fans in Vienna? The skimage team would like to meet in Vienna for a code sprint Aug 14-16 ahead of EuroSciPy. We'd super appreciate it if someone's workplace can host us! All we need is electricity, natural light, and (most important) walking distance to coffee. ☕️😂🙏

What what?! The rotation axis or the tilt axis is not centered? (Spending significant time with diffraction people recently who sometimes refer to tilting as "rotation", so I am in a permanent state of confusion ...)

A map of European countries with the product they were the world's #1 exporter of in 2023 (found on Reddit, source unknown) ... if this is correct, I am really proud of our Czech neighbours (while Austria is exporting "flavoured water"?!).

... while I am still wondering about the offer to head a swine breeding facility in China, years ago. But obviously, a "group leader" is "group leader" and a "facility" is a "facility". 🐖

SPACEtomo v1.2 is online! github.com/eisfabian/SP...

- Improved GUIs for lamella detection, target selection and CLEM registration make it the best target selection workflow for PACEtomo on any kind of lamella sample.
- Easier installation and configuration

Any feedback is much appreciated! :)

I am already running a service to notify about new #SerialEM releases by email at nexperion.net/serialemupdatenotices, but considering to make this a Bluesky bot as well ... is this something the #teamtomo #cryoEM #cryoET community would be interested in?

Last week's release of #SerialEM beta testing introduces "Multiple Grid Ops", an interface to auto acquire grid maps, square maps, and final data from multiple grids in a row using TFS/JEOL autoloaders - for details see bio3d.colorado.edu/SerialEM/bet..., feedback from early adopters is welcome!

Could one of my friends using #SerialEM share a full grid montage of a "typical" cryo SPA grid (including broken squares, thick ice, thin ice, ...). I'd need the nav and the mrc file to run some tests ...
