What is the value of open data for the life sciences? 📈 New report by Frontier Economics shows that EMBL-EBI data resources save users an average of 11 hours/week/person, leading to £11.8bn/year in research productivity gains. s.embl.org/EMBL-EBI-202... #opendata

I love this slide from Matthew Hartley (@bioimagearchive.bsky.social) on the repositories behind the last 50+ years of biodata management (at @gideproject.bsky.social)

A significant moment at #OME2026: Thanking Prof. Jason Swedlow, the founder of OME, who shaped this remarkable community work since the beginning of the millenium. His work & leadership were honored - even with a nod to his famous blue shirts by OME's Interim Board, nominated by Jason in Oct '25.

Matthew Hartley from EMBL-EBI, UK, demonstrating live at #OME2026 the power of recent updates around the BioImage Archive @bioimagearchive.bsky.social: Seamless image browsing enabled by OME-Zarr, and enhanced data search functionality are boosting the FAIRness of bioimage data significantly. 👏

Join us on April 23 to explore our brand-new website! 🔬 We’ll show how it makes discovering, browsing, and exploring bioimaging datasets easier than ever — with improved search and interactive visualisation right in your browser. Register here: www.ebi.ac.uk/training/eve...

Congratulations, @bioimagearchive.bsky.social! This pubic data repository has received @elixir-europe.org’s CDR and EDD status! Great recognition for a great resource! 🎉 Learn more🔽 www.eurobioimaging.eu/news/bioimag...

The 2nd term of our #NFDI4BIOIMAGEfromAtoZ calendar is @bioimagearchive.bsky.social, an international data repository for biological image data provided by @ebi.embl.org. It accepts data linked to a publication and promotes measures to increase the reusability of data 👉 www.ebi.ac.uk/bioimage-arc...

Just 4 days until the start of I2K and its 33 totally free image analysis tutorials and events! Please share with your "home networks", especially early career researchers - the videos will be amazing and high-impact no matter how many people attend live, BUT (1/x)

We’re looking for a Bioinformatician to join our talented team! If you’re passionate about making bioimaging data FAIR, we’d love to hear from you. Apply before November 23rd! embl.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/EMBL/j...

🔬 We’re also releasing a massive new dataset — over 600,000 annotated nucleus images — now freely available on the BioImage Archive. www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/b...

All of the segmentation and morphometric analysis was done with the open-source platform QuPath. The scripts I wrote are on Github and the raw images are on the BioImage Archive, because open-source is the way to go! But seriously, look at these cells! They are so angry.

We recently had the pleasure of chatting about the newly published MIFA guidelines, which aim to improve how we share AI-ready datasets for bioimage analysis. Huge thanks to Joshua Talks and @rodrigofg.bsky.social for sharing the user perspective — check out the interview below!

AI has so much potential for interpreting biological images, and yet, annotated biological datasets needed to train AI tools remain scarce. If you generate microscopy data or develop AI tools to interpret it, check it these new guidelines: www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/t... #bioimaging #microscopy 🧬🔬

Halfway to I2K is BACK, friends of all kinds! Last year, 650 people attended 30+ TOTALLY FREE image analysis workshops of all kinds, across many timezones. If you make image analysis software and want to teach it, workshop submissions are open now! We'd love to have your tool highlighted.
