I was on a quest to reliably blind my images to increase the rigor of my data analysis and was unhappy with available tools. From this frustration came BlindSpot! Former rotation student, Jenna Vesey developed a user friendly file name blinding software. More info below 👇

👋 Hi I’m Linnea! I’m a post doc in Amy Maddox’s lab at UNC Chapel Hill working on the role of microtubules (and its friends) in C. elegans oogenesis. I did my PhD with Jeff Moore looking at how budding yeast regulate tubulin expression and the consequences of imbalance.
