Struggling with Python `re`? regex is a superset of re with additional functionality and more thorough Unicode support. It is very powerful and still kind of an open secret. When I saw

🔬New Methods and Protocols published!
The authors present a methodology for deep learning-based segmentation by transforming high-quality ex situ laboratory data to train models for segmentation of in situ synchrotron data, demonstrated through a metal oxide dissolution study.

More than a decade ago, I started making tutorial videos on how to use Adobe illustrator, targeted at scientists that needed to make figures and cartoons for talks or papers.
Now I'm getting started again, but this time with the free and open source vector editor Inkscape 🧪
