Congrats to Dr. @negberry.bsky.social , who successfully defended her PhD in @bme-uoft.bsky.social @utoronto.ca last week!! Negar and I had our annual career one-on-one today, and she showed up with this totally AMAZING present. If you don’t yet, you should follow her: she is onto great things!!

Paper published!!! Tremendous work by Gordana Scepanovic, with key contributions by @negberry.bsky.social and @krothphd.bsky.social. We ask why is mTor signalling necessary for rapid wound repair. 🧪 #drosophila #devbio

Ray has certainly ReSCued me from hours of annotations 😌 check out ReSCU-Nets paper on biorxiv now 🤩
What is cooler than neural networks? Recurrent neural networks!!! Take a look at our pre-print describing #ReSCU-Nets, a recurrent nn architecture to segment and track biological structures from microscopy movies. Work led by the great @ray-hawkins.bsky.social ... 🧪🪰
