An enlightening opening keynote by Rob Finn from @ebi.embl.org at #CoRDI2025 in Aachen. Among others, he highlighted the rapid growth of data in the field of imaging as well as challenges of data handling and sharing across scales and technologies.
Looking forward to an exciting conference ahead.

🐿️ This week you could meet some of our colleagues at the FDM-Werkstatt in Münster. Various RDM tools were presented, tried out and discussed at the community workshop, including in a session with our @nfdi4bioimage.bsky.social colleague Jens Wendt. He explained how to embed OMERO.iviewer in eLabFTW.
