My former team at JAX sent two people to SciPy this year and they teamed up to teach a workshop on scaling-up deep learning inference to large-scale bioimage data - it's finally on youtube! if you need an intro to the dask/zarr world, this is a great starting point. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCWu...

Apparently it’s possible to make “non-screen printed” electrodes using a CO2 laser. And guess who has a laser cutter? :)

Wilson for Stott. Run a pitcher if it comes to it? Dunno. Felt like there was a chance with lefty having to face 3.

The myth of the lone genius in science actively undermines the conditions that foster real progress - these people exist but they have limits and true innovation requires scaling beyond the individual

Alister Burt @alisterburt.bsky.social · 17d

Really enjoying this book about the history of Bell Labs - a place that knew true innovation requires more than just one person or group

And here we are, the first book live on Amazon.
A "Nobel in Chemistry coloring book" :D
All 116 Nobels (3 books) have been hand-drawn and are ready to be colored. Part 2 is on its way, and Part 3 will be released after this year's Nobel Prize.

From #ome-ngff-validator you can open open #OME-Zarr images in a bunch of viewers, and neuroglancer's rendering of multi-channel images just got a lot nicer: ome.github.io/ome-ngff-val... - See github.com/google/neuro...

🔬🧠 Our paper on smart microscopy & the issue of interoperability! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... LONG THREAD WARNING: Smart microscopy uses real-time image analysis to automatically guide the acquisition or perturbation of the sample (closed feedback-control loop). Many applications exist:

Figure legend: Categories and capabilities of smart microscopy systems integrating real-time image analysis and feedback control. Top: Smart microscopy workflows can be classified based on the driving logic behind decision-making: Event-driven (reacting to rare biological events), Outcome-driven (using feedback-control to steer biological systems toward a desired state), Quality-driven (optimizing signal quality or imaging metrics), and Information-driven (guided by models that predict which measurements/perturbations will yield the most informative data). Middle: Central feedback loop between the microscope and an image analysis system, which continuously
exchanges images and commands to guide acquisition dynamically. Bottom: Key control actions enabled by smart microscopy: adjusting imaging modality (e.g. switching from brightfield to fluorescence, adjusting sampling rate), repositioning the field of view (e.g. tracking, drift correction), optimizing acquisition settings (e.g. adaptive optics),
and performing photomanipulation (e.g. FRAP, ablation, optogenetics).
