Many of us use 2p scopes to image 3D volumes of brain. But then we analyze the data plane by plane, resulting in duplicated neurons, missed neurons, and low s/n. Let's go 3D!

I would encourage anyone asked to referee for a Royal Society journal, to very vocally follow Michael’s example. 🧪 ⚛️ 🔭

When I first joined here I remember there being a lot of posts about how the 'culture' of bluesky was to block liberally and starve the trolls. I just hope people are still doing that!

Everyone who is able should be doing this. And growing as much of their own food as they can, and saving seed But individuals can only do so much, and millions don't have the means to stockpile or grow The government should be making appropriate plans NOW www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Scientists need to face the reality that this is not some temporary funding crisis while a bumbling administration sorts out their priorities. This is an intentional assault on academia by accelerationist extremists who wish to break society. Fascism must be met in the streets.

Bring your samples into focus! A new version of the #Cellpose cell boundary mapping tool, developed at @hhmijanelia.bsky.social by @computingnature.bsky.social and @marius10p.bsky.social, now works on less-than-perfect microscopy images that are noisy, blurry, or undersampled.

Elisabeth Bik (@elisabethbik.bsky.social) organized a fund to finance the work of sleuths, including their training and travel expenses! Elisabeth used the full sum of the Einstein Foundation Award she received. It's an incredible honor to know and work with Elisabeth www.science.org/content/arti...
