Ever wondered if analyzing your images by using intensity Z-projections impacts your data?
Happy to announce my guest article in Microscopy & Analysis on that topic. It's a very short read but worth for everyone dealing with image analysis!

I love to see the endoplasmic reticulum (ER, cyan) hitchhiking over microtubules (MTs, orange).
Also the membrane dynamics are lovely.

I'm worried about outsourcing to a machine something that's part of our common endeavour to figure out the world. It's not enough that stuff is figured out, it's about **us** figuring it out! I don't remember phone numbers anymore – I outsourced that to my phone. I don't want that for my science.
