All too important, yet under-appreciated! More standardization in image-editing and presentation would go a long way to making clearer, more understandable and reproducible results.

The do’s and don’ts of scientific image editing
Acceptable image-editing practices are partly a matter of common sense. But researchers say journals and funders could help scientists by standardizing policies.

Real congratulations to the team behind FLOW for this achievement! Great to see how Blender - a free and open source software we also use in the lab - can be used to create wonderful 3D images, and stories!
Congratulations to @gintszilbalodis.bsky.social and the entire Flow film crew for the Academy Award win!

Flow is the manifestation of Blender’s mission, where a small independent team is able to create a story that moves audiences worldwide.

Thank you for the shout out! 🧡 #b3d
