PSA: Before this "dislike" thing gets out of hand, because I've seen some very big accounts misinforming people, here's what it actually is.

It's a private option that lets you see less of topics you're not interested in on certain feeds. That's it.

It's not a downvote, thumbs down, etc.

Interested in a Graduate Assistantship?

The Energetics Lab (Giroud) at Northern Michigan University is now accepting applications for a motivated individual to obtain a Master in Biology and work on seasonal changes of the cardiac proteome & heart function in hibernating species.

Introduction to Processing and Analysis of Spatial Multiplexed Proteomics Data | PR Statistics
This 5-day live online course provides a comprehensive introduction to processing and analysing spatial multiplexed proteomics data from imaging platforms such as CODEX, MACSIMA, and CycIF. Participants will learn the complete workflow, from raw image tiles through cell segmentation, phenotyping, and neighbourhood analysis, using state-of-the-art open-source tools. Practical training covers image formats (.tif, .ome.tif, .ome.zarr), scalable pipelines with Nextflow/MCMICRO, single-cell segmentation with Cellpose, Mesmer, and Stardist, and cell-type annotation with Napari and scimap. The course also introduces batch processing, multi-resolution image visualization, and methods for quantifying spatial cell-cell interactions. By the end of the programme, participants will be able to evaluate multiplex imaging datasets, choose appropriate analysis pipelines, and apply reproducible workflows for spatial omics research in cancer biology, immunology, and systems medicine.

I am really proud of this study! It was led by an amazing ECR, highlights the work of a wonderful team of co-authors, and has resulted in a database of mechanistic demographic models currently being expanded to include underrepresented taxa to do comparative forecasts: github.com/MariaPaniw/C...
A study of how 41 plant and animal species react to climate change highlights the complexity of density feedbacks, in which population reductions lead to an easing of competition for the remaining individuals. In PNAS Nexus: https://ow.ly/xQMz50X6h6s
