Teacher extraordinaire Max Brambach has officially started our #BoBiAC2026 measurements & quantification lessons! His excitement for pandas dataframes was contagious! 💻

Associate Director of the Core for Imaging Technology & Education at Harvard Medical School that doodles to explain science.
Lots of excitement in the room to learn about how to use tools such as @ilastik-team.bsky.social & Cellpose for segmenting images! #BoBiAC2026
Thanks to generous funding from @bioimagingna.bsky.social, We were able to offer nearly half of our #BoBiAC2026 students fee waivers so that they could attend the course! The students also got to hear more about BINA programming & resources during a guest presentation from BINA 🔬
#BoBiAC2026 is off to a fantastic start! Our students have been drinking from the firehose since day 1 of @fedegasparoli.bsky.social getting everyone started with coding in Python and Amelie Andreas walking them through error messages 🐍💻
Last chance to apply! Applications are due at 11:59 PM ET!
Eva de la Serna@sciencedoodles.bsky.social · 5mo agoApply to join #BoBiAC2026 this summer! You'll learn how to use Python to segment fluorescence images w/tools like @ilastik-team.bsky.social & CellposeSAM, & even learn how to measure cell features, neighborhood relationships, & colocalization. No coding experience needed! More info: bobiac.github.io

It is finally out there in published form. 🎉 #MicroSplit (with an 𝕊) #Microscopy 🔬 #AI 🤖 www.nature.com/articles/s41... And no paywall... so... enjoy the read! 💸 👋 This is where the post could end... but I will have to go on for a bit below... 😉 🧵
This course also pairs nicely with @jcellsci.bsky.social -@focalplane.bsky.social training grant funding, which has an application window open until May 8th! Funding Info: www.biologists.com/grants/jcs-f...

Hari Shroff giving the QI keynote on structural illumination microscopy, adaptive optics and new biosensors. Wow!
Light sheet lab. We image anything from cells to plants to shrimp. @fedegasparoli.bsky.social @excitedemissions.bsky.social are running the machines!
Light Sheet Saturday is here. @jencwaters.bsky.social and @talley.codes lecture on how to improve your photon budget by illuminating from the side.
Pizza and image analysis. Because there’s no hackin‘ without snackin‘. @damiandn.bsky.social @bethcimini.bsky.social
AI for image analysis. @florianjug.bsky.social @bethcimini.bsky.social @damiandn.bsky.social are showing off the power of the machines:)
Cake and image analysis. True QI bliss:) @damiandn.bsky.social @bethcimini.bsky.social @emiglietta.bsky.social teaching 3D segmentation.
Looking for samples for our lightsheet microscope and expansion microscopy lab, @fedegasparoli.bsky.social and @lycasworks.bsky.social go on an expedition during low tide.
Confocal lab is where we show off the power of optical sectioning. Only one question remains: point scanner or spinning disc?
Hands on TIRF microscopy and machine learning segmentation has students up all night.
We are getting serious about analysis. Today Hunter Elliott and @florianjug.bsky.social introduce machine learning and AI. It’s not magic, it’s computers.
Today’s lectures on live cell imaging and fluorescent proteins by @jencwaters.bsky.social and @talley.codes Every photon counts!
Today @bethcimini.bsky.social and @damiandn.bsky.social lectured on image correction and colocalization. Key take-home: The computer can’t do magic; if you don’t collect photons at the microscope you can’t make them appear later.
Today Hunter Elliott is lecturing on image processing. Key take-home before lunch: There is no free lunch:)
Learning about the components of a microscope. How are images formed and what is that back focal plane everyone seems so excited about?
