Hi everyone! I am looking for postdoc positions that would require strong microscopy and image analysis skills! I'm very open and willing to learn about different model systems and different microscopy approaches, (EM, SPIM, superresolution) And of course, lots and lots of image analysis!

🎉 It's out! After a long journey, I'm happy to announce that my first paper as first author is now published in Microscopy Research and Technique! 😊 "DINOSim: Training-Free Semantic Segmentation on Microscopy Images" 🧵👇

Graphical abstract of the DINOSim workflow: one red point with the selection on an electron microscopy image that become a binary segmentation mask of the matching structures (for this example, mitochondria).

I do think when historians look back the period the exact moment where it flipped and started going the other way won’t be anything any politician did but my Minneapolis neighbors weathering the worst of the regime in the streets, rallying together, fighting back, and winning

I don't know this technique, but If they're using label free imaging followed by some kind of image-to-image translation task to generate pseudo fluorescence, that would explain a lot of the weird artifacts. But, really stretching the definition of "light microscopy" here Nikon.

The link states that the cilia were imaged with "diffractive super resolution microscopy" which is not a technique I have ever heard of... anyone?? Apparently based on this paper? (which at first glance does not seem as outrageous as the Nikon video) arxiv.org/abs/2512.13432

Had an abundance of cherry tomatoes from the garden so we're making one of the simplest - and best - pasta sauces. Garlic and tomatoes in a pot, cook long and slow with salt until they've broken down completely, add fresh basil at the end.
