What makes PhD students happy? Good supervision
Supervisors who invest in positive mentoring relationships with their PhD candidates also reap the benefits for their own research.

mRNA vaccines seem to ‘rev up’ the immune system to boost immunotherapy. Plus, a rare meteorite has been recovered from the Moon and the mysterious transition between wakefulness and sleep.

We’re excited to welcome Grant McClure, John Selkirk, Ben Polwart, and Robert Barry, who are undertaking their 5th-year Industrial Partnership Project on the OpenFlexure Microscope, an open-source, 3D-printed laboratory microscope designed to make high-quality microscopy accessible worldwide.

A bit of a terroristic view. Synthetic data isn’t all bad, it has been shown to improve classification algorithms.

P.S. We’ve got a hopefully interesting contribution to this field coming shortly. 📝 Stay tuned.

🔬🧠 Our paper on smart microscopy & the issue of interoperability! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... LONG THREAD WARNING: Smart microscopy uses real-time image analysis to automatically guide the acquisition or perturbation of the sample (closed feedback-control loop). Many applications exist:
Figure legend: Categories and capabilities of smart microscopy systems integrating real-time image analysis and feedback control. Top: Smart microscopy workflows can be classified based on the driving logic behind decision-making: Event-driven (reacting to rare biological events), Outcome-driven (using feedback-control to steer biological systems toward a desired state), Quality-driven (optimizing signal quality or imaging metrics), and Information-driven (guided by models that predict which measurements/perturbations will yield the most informative data). Middle: Central feedback loop between the microscope and an image analysis system, which continuously exchanges images and commands to guide acquisition dynamically. Bottom: Key control actions enabled by smart microscopy: adjusting imaging modality (e.g. switching from brightfield to fluorescence, adjusting sampling rate), repositioning the field of view (e.g. tracking, drift correction), optimizing acquisition settings (e.g. adaptive optics), and performing photomanipulation (e.g. FRAP, ablation, optogenetics).

So touched by this gift from our summer intern Grant McClure. Naturally, we ended up discussing how the architecture isn't quite correct... People do love feedback on their gifts, don't they 😅 #lifeofsheldon

This sounds like a good idea: Instead of students submitting only a final PDF of their dissertation, have them submit with full version history. Makes AI use easier to spot, and you get to see their actual writing process. Could be a game‑changer for assessment.

Version control: how I combat the rise of generative AI in the classroom
I was worried that ChatGPT was composing my students’ essays. Looking at the writing process step by step can combat this and has other benefits, too.
