I will be opening my research group at the Max Delbrück Center later this year to unravel the principles governing the unique context sensing capacity of the liver www.mdc-berlin.de/schwayer and am looking for enthusiastic PhD applicants.

Schwayer Lab

The mammalian liver possesses a regenerative capacity that is unmatched by any other organ. Following injury, liver epithelial cells can proliferate or even change their identity, enabling the organ t...

I reposted this but want to add some comments: the OME community is my "scientific home", a place rooted on mutual respect, trust and looking out for each other. #OME2026 was 2/3 first-time attendees and it was amazing to see they immediately "got it". Extremely rewarding as an organizer.

#OME2026 is coming to an end. It has been a truly welcoming, motivating, and inspiring experience full of intensive exchange and shaped by an exceptionally open and collaborative spirit. Grateful for the many insightful discussions, new connections, and shared ideas. Thank you!

Thank you all for the incredible energy and inspiration! The OME community is a real treasure ❤️

Back from ICLR 2026 in Rio! 🇧🇷 Highlights: presenting my poster at the LMRL workshop, Copacabana sunsets☀️, and the best coincidence: finding out my best friend got in too without us even planning it! 👯‍♀️ So grateful to @virginieuhlmann.bsky.social for the support. Where to next? 🚀

Meme-lord @tom-bssnnt.bsky.social at it again at #OME2026 🤣

Amazing to be at #OME2026 & talk about the future of OME-Zarr. @virginieuhlmann.bsky.social @lorenzocerrone.bsky.social & I were very happy to present the BioVisionCenter, ngio and Fractal yesterday. If you want to learn more, check out today’s ngio workshop: github.com/BioVisionCen...

Day 1 at #OME2026 is coming to an end with stimulating discussions during the poster session. It's been a wonderful first conference day. Looking forward to tomorrow with highlights including workshops and our keynote speaker Carole Goble. Stay tuned.

Great talks and fruitful discussions on day 1 of the #OME2026 Community Meeting in Düsseldorf with demonstrations of using OMERO, OME-Zarr, and other OME tools in material sciences, palynology, spatial omics and more. Now starting: The Poster session. 📜💬🗨️

A painful truth well put by @virginieuhlmann.bsky.social at #OME2026 😬 Striving for software #interoperability will make all our lives easier in the future!

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.

nice to see fellow Latin American presenting on how the Smithsonian Tropival Research Institute (STRI) is using OMERO to manage data on ancient polen from the Amazon forest (at #OME2026) "the solution I have been waiting my whole life"

A question I get asked all the time by @dev-journal.bsky.social authors "Why does it cost so much to publish a paper?" We break down the finances and explain where the money goes Spoiler: quality publishing takes a village (people + infrastructure) journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

‘Why is publishing so expensive?’

For many of us who work in scientific publishing, the title of this Editorial is a question we hear all the time when we're out talking to academics. And it's a perfectly reasonable one. After all, re...
