Whichever dipshit wrote this article was definitely not hired based on merit.
This article advocates for the “Faculty Merit Act” that would — get this — require all faculty applicants to submit their *SAT* scores. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Holy shirts that’s hilarious.

My most trivial hill I will die on is that well cooked, well salted fries are nature's perfect food and anything - *anything* - that you put on them will necessarily degrade the experience.
ketchup isn’t available, what are you putting on your fries?

AI/ML course for microscopy image analysis!!! 🧐
In 2026 at Janelia (@hhmijanelia.bsky.social), no tuition, housing and meals provided! Isn’t that borderline unbelievable?!?
20 students, ~14 TAs and lecturers

Could not be more excited to have Jan join us at Human Technopole next year! 🎉🎉🎉
🎉 In January, I will join the new "Multimodal AI Across Scales" research area at the @humantechnopole.bsky.social in Milan 🎉
More soon, but for now: my lab and the new area will have postdoc, RSE, and PhD positions available.
Feel free to reach out if interested!

The new version of TrackMate, the v8.1 has just been released. It builds upon the recent v8, linked below, and offers two main improvements 👇
We just released a new major version of TrackMate (v8), the cell and organelle tracking plugin of Fiji.
It ships many new features, detailed below, but that are articulated around the following:

20 eps - wow! Today, @erinweisbart.bsky.social and I introduce BioimagingGuide.org, a fantastic resource we made in partnership with @bioimagingna.bsky.social , your guide to "what you don't know you don't know" about imaging and analysis. Friendly and in 4 languages (and counting!); check it today!

This would have been a game changer when I was doing microscopy and I suspect will be for lots of people now. Flexible control of commercial microscope systems!
Also if you know me I'm often not a fan of cutesy names for software, but "diss track" is 💯

Pleased to say that Jonas Hartmann (bs-less) and I have finally released DySTrack (“diss track”) - Dynamic Sample Tracking.
It’s a Python-based, modular tool that brings smart microscopy to everyday imaging on commercial systems.

Not going to comment specifically, but as someone who has been for a long time somewhat skeptical of LLPS, this was interesting to read.

Movement is a super cool project. If you work in any kind of animal behavior research, give it a look!
Had such a blast at #CBIAS2025 — a meeting full of image-analysis nerds (what more could you want?).
