I created a starter pack for Imaging Scientists that work in core facilities.

I'm sure I missed lots of people since I searched for those that have "core" or "facility" in their bios, so let me know who else should be added!

New paper out with the Kicheva group by S. Lehr and D. Bruckner! 🧪 Develops a new 2D neural tube organoid, and models its striking self-organized patterns! Key finding: patterning via 2-phase dynamics of BMP, which acts like a temporal relay balancing sequential fate decisions! bit.ly/3OJti4G

Just out! Exploring the Impact of Variability in Cell Segmentation and Tracking Approaches. Published in Microscopy Research and Technique. Thanks #BBSRC for funding.

Next up, SAMJ-annotator is a Fiji plugin that uses some behind the scenes black magic to run the latest and greatest SAM models from META AI by installing micromamba and connecting it to Fiji, and it works.. well, I mean, look at this. Madness.

Are you an #ECR who would like to attend a #microscopy or #bioimageanalysis training course in the next ~6 months but don't have sufficient funding, check to see if you are eligible for our JCS-FocalPlane Training Grant.

Next deadline: 22 November 2024

Hatching blastocyst!
When you fix the embryos wayyyy later than you wanted to, because you got caught up;) still a beautiful one though 😉☺️

💥Beyond happy 💥 Our work is now published in PNAS!

With Gloria Canales & @mazi1.bsky.social we studied how the single celled alga Pyrocystis lunula 🌙 move their chloroplast in response to strong light.

Get ready for some fun mechanics, signals and organelle motion! 🧵

🚀Thrilled to announce #inTRACKtive: a web-based tool for exploring massive cell-tracking datasets, no software installation required! Open your browser and dive into terabytes of developmental biology data 🐭🪰🪱🪲🐠

Once again working on the "last set" of experiments for my PhD... this might really be the last set though! 🥲🥳
