Fully embracing the whimsy of UK academia is a nice way to end the year. Specially because my family could be there, like they’ve been all the way. Plus the Manchester doctoral gown has *excellent* colours 🪻🍇🌻

I wrote my first proper post on LinkedIn today. It was cheesy, bit of a weird thing to do.
Bottom line is I'm still buzzing from spending two days playing with napari sourounded by kind microscopy nerds at the #CBIAS2025 Napari Workshop.

If you or your trainees are just getting started with image analysis of cells & are #CellProfiler -curious, here is a fairly thorough walk-through demo I did recently. Loading files, extracting metadata (fun with Regex!), identifying objects, measuring, filtering, QC, exporting:

And perhaps we could have a bit more funding for scientific infrastructure? Because without that nobody (stars or otherwise) is going to get anything done.
