Four incredible years in the Young Academy of Norway have come to an end. It's been truly inspiring to work alongside so many driven people willing to spend their free time fighting for research. Thank you for the journey and keep up the good work - you guys are awesome!

Hvordan kan vi utvikle norsk #fagspråk, når forskning skjer på engelsk? Vi foreslår to løsninger som kan bidra til at vi oppnår idealet om "glokal" forskning, der forskning deles globalt og tilgjengeliggjøres lokalt. #NorskFagspråk #LanguagesOfAcademia #AYF www.khrono.no/glokal-forsk...

Glokal forskning — global deling og lokal tilgjengelighet

Hvis forskning reelt skal være tilgjengelig for studenter og allmennheten, må kunnskapen vi skaper og publiserer internasjonalt også beskrives og utgis på norsk. Vi foreslår to løsninger som kan bidra...

English is what we use to discuss research, but many researchers have a different mother tongue. The general public is also often not fluent in English. How do we bridge the gaps? Discussing these issues with other researchers from across the globe was a true joy! #LanguagesOfAcademia

Die Junge Akademie@jungeakademie.bsky.social · last mo.

🗣️🌍 From 2–4 September, our research group "Language" invited 24 academics from 18 countries to discuss the #LanguagesofAcademia. If we want research to be global and locally accessible, language choices must be treated as an integral part of academic practice. 🔗 t1p.de/8pi30 Photos: Jean Noir

Har du hørt om havets fyrverkeri? I Akademiet for Yngre Forskere sin spalte i Forskersonen kan du i dag lese om hva det er som glitrer og skinner i dypet, og hvorfor jeg mener at Norge er et ideelt sted å studere dette fenomenet. God søndagslesing! www.forskersonen.no/bioluminesce...

Det ukjente fyrverkeriet: lys i havets mørke

POPULÆRVITENSKAP: Vi tenker ofte på havets dyp som mørkt, men de som har tatt turen ned forteller om et fyrverkeri uten like, skriver innsenderen.

Very proud of @noralied.bsky.social who is the very first master student graduating the lab, and @nadiave.bsky.social who did a fantastic job supervising her. People are what makes science great and these two prove that time and time again! 🙌🎉

Marine Neuroscience Laboratory@marineneurolab.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Today @noralied.bsky.social became a Master of Science! 🥳🎓🔬 She has optimised immunohistochemistry protocols for detecting key proteins in our favourite worms. Big thanks to @helmlab.bsky.social and @gquattrocolo.bsky.social for examining the thesis!

#OCTRON just got even better! Annotate dozens of animals in hundreds of frames in minutes and/or skip masks for super fast predictions. The closest thing to magic I've ever seen for tracking animal behaviour 🪄

Horst Obenhaus@octoscience.bsky.social · 8mo ago

BIG UPDATES! OCTRON now supports the new SAM3 models (alongside SAM2)! We’ve also added a global switch for Detection vs. Segmentation: Use the same annotations to train either lightweight detection or full segmentation models. Plus, we’ve added support for the new YOLO26 models. ⤵️ 1/12

Hvordan skal studenter lære norsk fagspråk når mange lærebøker og mye av undervisningen på universitetene er på engelsk? Svaret: termportalen.no - en åpen ressurs for terminologi på tvers av språk, nå med ny termbase innen dyrefysiologi! 🌟 #NorskFagspråk termportalen.w.uib.no/2026/02/02/n...

You can use #OCTRON to track cells too! It took 10 min to annotate multiple cells in 146 frames, 1.5 hrs to train a model with a GPU, and 10 sec to make these predictions. It doesn't get much easier than that⚡️

Have you tried #OCTRON yet? Here's a speedy run-through of the pipeline, showing how you go from annotating animals, to training a model, and visualising predictions in new videos. Everything you need to track your favourite species! 💪

Do you work on animal behaviour? Check out this pipeline created by the incredible @octoscience.bsky.social! It's simply amazing how quickly you can annotate videos, train a model, and use it to analyse novel videos. Especially if your animal of choice is squishy or uses camouflage 🪱🐛🦑🪼🐙

Horst Obenhaus@octoscience.bsky.social · 10mo ago

Do you love quantifying animal behavior as much as we do? We have just the tool for you! Presenting #OCTRON - a pipeline that helps you create rich annotation data and enables training of custom segmentation models. Have a look, particularly if you work with non-model / invertebrate organisms!

Maybe we should revise policies that push postdocs out of academic research too early. It selects for early achievers that remain in one field and risks losing the highest impact people

We just published our third major funding application, including the evaluation it received, for the benefit of future applicants 🙌 Because #OpenScience is also about sharing ideas and examples that others can learn from 🌟 www.ogrants.org/grants/jacob...

Check out these beautiful, glowing worms! 🤩

Happy #InternationalPolychaeteDay! 🌍🪱 To celebrate, here’s a glimpse of the bioluminescence of our gossamer worms! This video was captured in the lab by @nadiave.bsky.social using a monochrome camera — so it's in black and white — but in real life, the worms glow in a stunning bright yellow.

In keeping with tradition, a big funding rejection (🥲) means it's treat time! More specifically, tiramisu-tower-time 🎉 It's not easy to start something new, but the like-minded people you meet along the way make it worth it. They keep science fun 🎈🌟

I suspect that my wording was not clear enough and should clarify that it wasn't me who wrote this fantastic piece, but @oaggimenez.bsky.social. 🎩h/t #openscience

Alfredo Sánchez-Tójar@asanchez-tojar.bsky.social · 2y ago

My paper was proved wrong. After a sleepless night, here’s what I did next: - Don’t take it (too) personally - All in for open and reproducible science - Science works in increments - Science is a human endeavour 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

One thing we did last year was to build our lab and in this video made by @nadiave.bsky.social you can see how it all came together! Our worms naturally live in the deep ocean where sunlight never reaches, so we built a tent where we can house them and do behavioural experiments in total darkness 🌚

I just learned about Hamid Nedari Yeganeh, who makes amazing drawings using only mathematical equations. Now I can't begin to understand how he does this, but I wanted to share this one he made of a gossamer worm. So cool! 🤯
