We're discussing the pros and cons of approaches for increasing imaging depth at #IALSJanelia. One benefit of two-photon microscopy (2P) is label-free second harmonic generation (SHG). Here SHG (purple) reveals structures surrounding macrophages (teal) in a zebrafish tail.

AI-agents write code for us, fix errors and try out other algorithms - tasks we data scientists do on a daily basis. But they can do it in parallel, all steps fully automatically. Check out %%alice & sand-bob #opensource! haesleinhuepf.github.io/sand-bob/exa...
@johanduchene.bsky.social @sholtodavid.bsky.social Spent the last hour looking, found ten more apparently manipulated Western blots in Thermo Fisher's antibody verification data (across eight different catalogued products). Thread below. www.thermofisher.com/antibody/pro...

As we near the end of #EarthWeek, a reminder that #zebrafish do not need sterile dishes! Save money and reduce plastic consumption by sanitizing used dishes with hot water or dilute bleach 🧫💦 For example, you could follow this protocol from the Fish Floor at UCL: www.protocols.io/view/washing... 🐟 🧪
The GloBIAS Working Group survey 2024 has reached another important milestone with the publication of a short communication: GloBIAS: strengthening the foundations of bioimage analysis, in Nature Methods. doi.org/10.1038/s415... A big thank you to everyone involved Join GloBIAS at www.globias.org !
You've never seen human anatomy like this before. Using a particle accelerator, the Human Organ Atlas is producing 3D scans of our organs in unprecedented detail! You can look through different layers of tissue and even zoom in on the cells for the heart, lungs, eyes, kidneys, and more.
How does open licensing shape scientific research in the age of AI? Do restrictive licences protect your work, or limit collaboration? Join @europepmc.org & @knowledgerights21.org to explore these questions in the webinar. 🗓️ 14 April, 10:00 BST Register: embl-org.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

I have a joke about poor data management, but it's not FAIR.
I have a joke about chemistry, but it stinks.
In a new @abrf.bsky.social paper they found that Python/ImageJ/Cellprofiler led to much greater analyst to analyst variability compared to Imaris/Arivis/Aivia. I've opened up a thread to discuss why large errors occurred and how to improve the situation in the future forum.image.sc/t/abrf-imari...
ABRF: Imaris/Arivis/Aivia substantially reduces inter-analyst variability vs ImageJ/Python/Cellprofiler
Hi all For 9 months I've been going back and forth with @Thomas_Pengo, ABRF LMRG and co-authors about their recent paper here, which found significant analyst to analyst variability, especially among...
