The connectome of the entire male Drosophila central nervous system is out!! Acquired using FIB-SEM @ 8x8x8nm, we aligned 7.5 mio 2D images aligned into one seamless 3D volume, which was used to segment & proofread neurons and synapses. @hhmijanelia.bsky.social

Found some pretty cool books at the Marine Biological Laboratory @mblscience.bsky.social library alongside pictures of renowned stylish scientists, with @markkitti.bsky.social, @joshmoore.bsky.social and Graham Johnson. It was overall a very inspiring OME community meeting in Woods Hole!

The STIM paper is out! We build on established computer vision techniques to automatically create 3D volumes of spatial transcriptomics datasets with human-level accuracy, and useful, interactive visualizations.

Shout out to my dear #BigStitcher #Windows users :) I finally got access to a Windows VM and fixed many Windows bugs. I hope most functionality is restored. I still advise switching to Linux/Mac, but I will be able to provide more Windows support in the future if necessary.

I recently visited #Amazon HQ2, to present at the AWS Imagine Nonprofit conference 2025. It was exciting to see use cases & opinions from other areas than biomedicine, to make new contacts, and to see how people at AWS work.

#AWS has an interesting line up of #conferences & #funding opportunities:

Pretty awesome setting for today’s workshop on enabling access to emerging bioimaging techniques organized by Ian Dobbie at JHU’s downtown DC campus. We had great presentations and discussions; sites.krieger.jhu.edu/iic/workshop...

I wrote a little script that estimates the approximately equivalent sigma of a Gaussian convolution to the number of linear interpolations applied to images.

That's why it is really important to avoid consecutive interpolations of your image when reconstructing your data. Try to use software that combines all transformations you need to apply to your images into a single interpolation operation.

We are looking for a Scientific Computing Associate to develop AI/ML methods to identify the ancestors of genes of unknown origin, an exciting project with the Stern lab @ HHMI Janelia.

We are looking someone with AI/ML experience.
