If you ever used napari in your research, take a moment to read this.
Napari, like many other resources in the bioimaging world, is freely available despite the fact that it costs many people much time and efforts to develop and maintain it.
Now you get a chance to give back, don't miss it :)

You might have noticed lots of activity in the napari project recently! 🚀 We're grateful for a grant from CZI that's keeping us going, but grants don't last forever: we're trying to figure out sustainable long term funding. Read our blog post to find out how you can help:

Recognizing the Contributions of Shared Facility Personnel

Core facility experts play a key role in research—from planning to data analysis—yet their contributions are often left unacknowledged in publications.

It is #FluorescenceFriday and here we have another cool image!
"AGE IS INDEED JUST A NUMBER: BUD SCAR NUMBER”
Image shows yeast cells that were stained using the dye calcofluor white to visualise bud scars. The number of bud scars is proportional to the replicative age of the cell.
