Lab Halloween fun before lab reception for Weiqing Xu’s departure to the lab of @jonasries.bsky.social

We will miss you Weiqing!

Tracking has always been at the ❤️ of the scientific method, from planetary motion to single particles.

Weiqing’s thesis intro on tracking was so beautiful we turned it into a perspective in JCP who then selected it as a #Scilight.

Take a look! 😊

News story our APS fellowship.

A testament to the great people we work with (and the unwavering rigor of Bayesian approaches, impervious to hype) 😊 🙏

The journey continues. UT Austin and Oden tomorrow and Friday. Here with Dima Makarov :)
(Discussing Bach, Richter, Gould, Yuja Wang, and maybe some single molecule 😊)

Hello everyone,

Tomorrow I’ll be giving a chalk talk on our new eLife:
“REPOP: bacterial population quantification from plate counts”

Looking forward to seeing you!!

Can we learn motion models from post-processed tracks? 🧐
Not really 😢

Emission noise accounts for ~99% of the likelihood.

TLDR: What you think is anomalous diffusion… might just be noise. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

How Easy Is It to Learn Motion Models from Widefield Fluorescence Single Particle Tracks?
Motion models (i.e., transition probability densities) are often deduced from fluorescence widefield tracking experiments by analyzing single-particle trajectories post-processed from data. This analy...

Hello all,

If you do #PlateCounting, you may want to take a look at our new eLife @elife.bsky.social

If you don't, I still encourage you to join for an interesting discussion.

Follow the thread 🧵

Have you ever applied a Hidden Markov Model (HMM)?
Does the results seems contradictory?

If so, you are going to love our new preprint:

So… I was googling myself and made quite a discovery

🎧 There's an AI-generated podcast of my #TimeSeriesForecasting paper 🤔🤔

Not sure whether to feel flattered, creeped out, or alarmed.

That is the future I guess 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
