Fantastic line of speakers for this upcoming edition of #CBIAS26🤩 With a novelty this year: image analysis beyond bio! Let's all share expertise, who knows, maybe tracking stars accros the galaxy is as exciting and challenging as tracking cells accros a whole embryo? Share far and wide #microscopy

Shape #CBIAS2026! We're looking for sponsors for our 7th Symposium in London, Nov 23-24, 2026. Gain visibility in the #microscopy & #imageanalysis community with a tech-bite slot & an exhibition stand. Connect with researchers & core facility staff from the UK, Europe & beyond. Spots are limited!

Wonderful to host Sir Paul Nurse giving a public lecture on Science As Revolution at Imperial College London. The whole talk is online: www.youtube.com/live/IRPox7F...

For British Science Week, @uomscieng.bsky.social brought everything from dinosaur bones to robots to all the curious minds at the Trafford Centre – one of the biggest malls in the UK!

📣We’re back 🔬👀🖥️! #CBIAS2026 returns 23–24 November 2026: Join the bioimage analysis community to discuss advances in quantitative imaging & computational methods for image analysis. Great opportunity for early-career analysts & microscopists to present and connect. #CBIAS2026 #BioimageAnalysis

Fully embracing the whimsy of UK academia is a nice way to end the year. Specially because my family could be there, like they’ve been all the way. Plus the Manchester doctoral gown has *excellent* colours 🪻🍇🌻

I wrote my first proper post on LinkedIn today. It was cheesy, bit of a weird thing to do. Bottom line is I'm still buzzing from spending two days playing with napari sourounded by kind microscopy nerds at the #CBIAS2025 Napari Workshop.

If you or your trainees are just getting started with image analysis of cells & are #CellProfiler -curious, here is a fairly thorough walk-through demo I did recently. Loading files, extracting metadata (fun with Regex!), identifying objects, measuring, filtering, QC, exporting: youtu.be/fO5nJdhj_7I

And perhaps we could have a bit more funding for scientific infrastructure? Because without that nobody (stars or otherwise) is going to get anything done.

An immense thank you again to @cbias.bsky.social committee, sponsors and fellow imaging friends for this fantastic symposium! It's is not the end but the beginning of tons of papers to read, colleagues to contact, new collaborations to form. And most importantly, it's a 'see you soon' #CBIAS2026 🔬🥰

I am QT dunking but I think this is a case where it is warranted: Science is political and "not wanting to see politics" as a scientist is a political choice. You may decide it's what works for you, but you need to decide how that fits with the fact your (diverse) colleagues still exist 🧪
