Had a great time at the SIPTA Forum in Huairou Science City, Beijing, together with colleagues from Imperial College, Tsinghua University, Peking University, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I was also fortunate to visit collaborators on the Tsinghua campus and at the Institute of Automation.

I’m pleased to share that I’ve been awarded support from the Royal Society–CNR International Exchanges scheme for a project with colleagues in Italy. We’ll combine advanced optical imaging and AI to better understand how cancer cells store fats using label-free 3D microscopy.

A beautiful piece of work from @ruixuan3.bsky.social and @supgokul.bsky.social presenting a light-based slicing method using a photosensitive hydrogel to image large biological samples layer by layer, preserving fine structure for full 3D reconstructions.
(1/x) Excited to report VIPS (Volumetric imaging of biological specimens via photochemical sectioning) @science.org! VIPS uses light-based sample sectioning to eliminate the inherent imaging depth limit of high-resolution optical microscopes @supgokul.bsky.social: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Mesoscale volumetric fluorescence imaging at nanoscale resolution by photochemical sectioning

We’re excited to welcome Grant McClure, John Selkirk, Ben Polwart, and Robert Barry, who are undertaking their 5th-year Industrial Partnership Project on the OpenFlexure Microscope, an open-source, 3D-printed laboratory microscope designed to make high-quality microscopy accessible worldwide.

A bit of a terroristic view. Synthetic data isn’t all bad, it has been shown to improve classification algorithms.
P.S. We’ve got a hopefully interesting contribution to this field coming shortly. 📝 Stay tuned.

So touched by this gift from our summer intern Grant McClure. Naturally, we ended up discussing how the architecture isn't quite correct... People do love feedback on their gifts, don't they 😅 #lifeofsheldon

This sounds like a good idea: Instead of students submitting only a final PDF of their dissertation, have them submit with full version history. Makes AI use easier to spot, and you get to see their actual writing process. Could be a game‑changer for assessment.

Version control: how I combat the rise of generative AI in the classroom
I was worried that ChatGPT was composing my students’ essays. Looking at the writing process step by step can combat this and has other benefits, too.

One of the MEng students in the group opened his project slides with an AI-generated image of me trying to break a CNN and honestly, it’s kind of perfect 🥹😂 So proud (and already slightly roasted).
