wheeeeeee!

CEP 48, which brings conditionals and extras to your @conda.org dependencies, is now accepted! This means you will soon be able to type things like `typing-extensions[when='python<=3.10']`  and `scipy[extras=test]` 🚀 github.com/conda/ceps/b...

Come check out cool demos with @marimo.io (reactive Python notebooks!) I’ll be doing a small demo at the next community call aug 25 on spatial omics. deets: luma.com/13c69h7x I'm also a new marimo ambassador! do reach out for event collabs in San Diego or Boston👋

marimo Community Call! · Luma

Hear directly from the developers of marimo at our Q3 community call! We'll share out some exciting new updates (hint: marimoHub 👀), as well as introduce you…

pixi 0.76 can now run standalone python scripts in isolated, on-demand environments. dependencies live inline via PEP 723, like uv supports, but pixi can layer on conda and system dependencies too. fun to build this with @prefix.dev folks. coming to a @marimo.io notebook near you SOON.

2 more days to submit an abstract to the QBI Multiplexing conference! Come to beautiful San Diego to discuss all things multiplex immunofluorescence. Registration is still open for those who want to attend but not speak.

There is still time to register for the QBI Multiplex Image Analysis and Computational Pathology workshop! Details below.

New preprint! How does a cell "know" how big to make its nucleus? This has puzzled biologists since the 1800’s. We show the answer is physics: colloid osmotic pressure. 🧵1/5

New favorite way to color code microscopy data: this is a real 3D confocal image of an unidentified larvae stained for actin (muscles fibers here). Looks like a watercolor painting! #microscopy #ImageJ #FluorescenceFriday #microscopyMonday

New resource for teaching and learning BioImage Analysis, long in the making, from @tischi.bsky.social and friends, incl. @carpentries.carpentries.org. With roots in the material developed for NEUBIAS workshops.

🔬Modern instruments generate vast bioimage data, yet few experts can analyze it. The authors of this new open access paper present here a modular, open-source bioimage analysis training resource, that allows efficient course design and delivery.

wheeeeee!

Holy cow what a couple innings!! Bonkers! #GoPhils

Announcing a Multiplex Image Analysis and Computational Pathology workshop through the Quantitative BioImaging Society Talks on cell segmentation and phenotyping, data normalization, spatial analysis, and more! Hosted by @lji.org in San Diego, CA, Sept. 15-16 quantitativebioimaging.com/miacp2026/

We were struggling with wiggling neurites on our long term imaging data and the poor existing plugins to deal with them, until I thought "let's ask Eugene about it". Lo and behold, he just made the perfect plugin for dynamic kymograph generation!

Keeping track of OME-Zarr support across the ecosystem isn't always easy. Over the past few weeks, we've been speaking with stakeholders about experiences, successes, and remaining gaps. Here is our snapshot of where things stand and where effort may be most valuable next: image.coop/blog/posts/2...

Fun time at the ballpark yesterday, even if the Phils didn't manage to pull out a W. #GoPhils
