What a delight to listen to Carole Goble's inspiring keynote at #OME2026 on community building, charismatic leadership, and endurance! A powerful reminder that lasting infrastructures are shaped not only by technology, but especially by the social experience: leveraging trust, thrust & transparency.
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. 👏
#OME2026 day 2 opens with Shuichi Onami from RIKEN, Kobe, Japan, speaking about SSBD, an infrastructure for sharing biological dynamics data. SSBD combines repository functionality based on minimum required metadata with an added-value database containing richly curated datasets for optimal reuse.
Kiya Govek from The Jackson Laboratory gave the inspiring opening lecture at the #OME2026 meeting, bringing us the community contributor perspective based on her online community survey. Next up: An Update from the OME Ecosystem
It's on! #OME2026 kicking off at Haus der Universität in Düsseldorf! @sweidtkamp.bsky.social opened this exciting community event, looking ahead at three days of exchange to shape bioimage data management as an international collaborative endeavor.
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.
The 19th OME Meeting just kicked off in Düsseldorf! So happy to welcome this wonderful community to @hhu.de together with @nfdi4bioimage.bsky.social and the @openmicroscopy.org Team — really looking forward to the days ahead. 😊 Join online: gerbi-gmb.de/event/ome-20... #OME2026 #NFDI4BIOIMAGE #OME
