I truly appreciate the organizers, core contributors, and all attendees for this wonderful opportunity! I enjoyed learning and working on napari in a welcoming environment.
Those interested in talking about and contributing to napari, let’s join the regular community meeting together!

Longer wrap-up to come, but in the meantime: we had a fantastic and productive time at the napari hackathon at @globias.bsky.social 2025 conference! Thanks to all the participants and to the GloBIAS team for hosting us!

Last call for Les Houches! Apply now or never! ;) (ok, in 2 years again then) and share with your friends.
Please share: The application for Les Houches is open (until Oct 31)

*This is for you, if you ever wanted to learn all about fluorescence markers & how to apply them for your biological research!*
PS: no fees this year, you just need to get there, that's all!

Call for RIKEN ECL Team / Unit Leaders. In my (biased) opinion, this is probably the best option if you are seeking an independent position in Japan. I will be happy to chat/answer questions via email. www.riken.jp/en/careers/p...

Congratulations to Zihui, Sano-san, and the team on this interesting work! They found that +1 topological defects attract neural progenitors—an observation that seems at odds with expectations for an extensile active nematic. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Integer topological defects offer a methodology to quantify and classify active cell monolayers - Nature Communications
The orientation of elongated cells often rotates once around the center in tissue. Such structures are called +1 topological defects and play some roles in biological development. By inducing various ...

I feel like this post is becoming even more relevant for our early-career researcher friends in the US—unless it’s already too late. It doesn’t have to be our lab or RIKEN; if you’re interested in coming to Japan, I’m always happy to chat!
We can host Special Postdoctoral Researchers (SPDR) for FY 2026. This is one of the best postdoc positions you can find in Japan, comparable to departmental or institutional fellowships in the US or Europe. Feel free to reach out if you’re interested!

Starting in April 2025, our RIKEN Hakubi Lab will transition to a Chief Scientist Lab, and we plan to move to Wako in 2026. My affiliation with the IPI, Department of Physics at The University of Tokyo, will continue as before.
