In a previous job, the lab-head welcomed us with "you have no time for hobbies now, science is your hobby" I laughed, at what I thought was obvs a joke Please, have hobbies and passions beyond work. It doesn't mean you're lazy or profligate, it means you experience more of what it is to be human.

Sorry for the string of videos, but this is amazing and makes me wonder if this is what life could be like if we all just logged off the internet. IG risolve

Okay, for ten points, where have I put my bike key? It's somewhere in my house (bike locked in shed, key only comes out if locked), not in usual place (raincoat pocket), bike panniers, with house or work keys, or on the handy corner of the worktop. I need to find it by 6.30pm!

Very pleased to be able to share a recently published mini-review on phase related applications of 4D-STEM methods: Phase Imaging Methods in the Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope, with Gabriel Sanchez-Santolino, Satoko Toyama, Tekehito Seki and Naoya Shibata pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Phase Imaging Methods in the Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope

Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) has become an essential tool for investigating materials, providing detailed characterization at nano and atomic scales. By combining subangstrom resol...

🥳🥳 hello again Manchester! I'm looking forwards to so many cool talks this week

IOP Electron Microscopy and Analysis Group (EMAG) @iop-emag.bsky.social · last yr.

Today we're glad to be back together for #EMAG2025 at #mmc2025 with our pals @royalmicrosoc.bsky.social in sunny Manc. Kicking off #EMAG2025 we have the Intro to Python for EM led by @tjaslater.bsky.social 🐍 Some EMAG folk will also be @rmsearlycareer.bsky.social event Here's to a great week!

I'll be at the Learning Zone at #MMC2025 tomorrow afternoon with @martinjones.bsky.social, @lankylaste.bsky.social & Sara Salgueiro Torres, talking about how you can get started using #OpenSource software like #FIJI, @jupyter.org and @napari.org for #ImageAnalysis rms-daim.github.io/DAIM-MMC2025/

Our ever-popular Learning Zone is starting to take shape in the #mmc2025 exhibition hall. Lots to see and do here over the next few days - including a programme of free talks in our dedicated seminar theatre!😀 Read more: mmc-series.org.uk/resource/att... @rmsearlycareer.bsky.social

You know when you get really thoughtful, insightful feedback from reviewers? It's so heartening😊 I wish I could chat science over a coffee with the mystery reviewer, who clearly knows interesting things. Please consider signing your reviews if you're in a career-safe place.

It is true. Just tested it myself. Google AI claims that Hungary (Ungarn) starts with H in German (which it isn’t, only true in English ) and that it is sometimes called Holland (which probably refers to the Netherlands). Nice demonstration how AI works … 😉

Conferences are great and all, but I remain strongly in favour of taking a little sanity break to yourself during the week. Stroll up a hill in the forest, find a monk selling jam who wishes you all the best with the microscopes 🥰🥰 Brain refreshed, and tasty toast ahoy

If you work in #VolumeEM, we'd be very grateful if you could fill in our survey so we can better understand the computational needs of the #vEM community #BioImageAnalysis #ResearchSoftwareEngineering #ElectronMicroscopy

If you work in #VolumeEM, please fill in our survey to help us build a Collaborative Computational Project for volumeEM! Survey link: forms.office.com/e/eMAJGCKUnc we're aiming to identify the needs of the community in order to build a roadmap for all-things data-related in #vEM
