Been busy in Zürich für the last 24h or so. Talks have been great so far, and I have a talk too. Still find it weird to see my name on a poster.

Hack your microscope
Recent advances in open-source microscopy have made high-resolution, customizable imaging systems more accessible, allowing researchers to overcome the constraints of traditional commercial solutions…

It was a fantastic opportunity to finally meet the people behind this software that I have been using for years and is so important for my work! A big thank you to all core developers who were so welcoming, and patiently guided participants in their attempts to contribute back to napari!
Longer wrap-up to come, but in the meantime: we had a fantastic and productive time at the napari hackathon at @globias.bsky.social 2025 conference! Thanks to all the participants and to the GloBIAS team for hosting us!

No matter how advanced you become in bioengineering, the rake awaits us all. The most important thing to do in this godforsaken field is to learn deeply from failure, maintain intellectual humility, and speak up about your struggles. You never know who is out there ready to help.

More than 10 years ago, I designed my first course, Sensors and Devices, in which I teach Arduino and 3D printing to life science and biotech students.
This year is the last year of this course.
That was a fantastic run, and I will see how this will transform into a new course next year.

Over at `ome-zarr-models` we're working on implementing support for the new coordinate systems too - here's an example of a transformation graph from multiple tiled images that can be transformed into a common "world" coordinate system. 🟥 ➡️ 🌎

For my Year 1 lecture course this year, I used AI to produce an audio podcast to support student learning. I was amazed how listenable it was, and how broadly accurate it turned out to be. In this thread, I talk through the process I used to make the podcast.

The #OME-Zarr RFC-5 proposal allows you to transform multiple images into the same coordinateSystem. Trying this out with napari at github.com/will-moore/n.... Cool that you can offset T-dimension as well as XYZ!

#bioimageanalysis wouldn't be the same without all the great RSEs who make our tools and keep them working! Great paper on this from a couple of years ago linked below - if there's a tool that makes your life easier, think about taking a few minutes today to thank the person or people who make it!
