Registration open: annual neurotech convention of society of brain mapping & therapeutics in Los Angeles Convention Center, Feb 27-March 2, 2025. This time we highlight a 3-day neurophotonics session that I co-chaired with Dr. Rui Cao. Check the program: www.worldbrainmapping.org/home/annual-...

Another starter pack of fine fine folks - New PIs! We're all figuring it out together! Please do (self-)nominate go.bsky.app/KJXNgfZ

Received a signed gift from Caroline Boudoux in FiO. 🥰#Optica

I am in FiO in Denver this week. If you are around, DM me! #photonics #optica

Hot off the press... Machine Learning in Three Easy Lessons (with jax, from scratch, with examples that are useful for physicists): https://florianmarquardt.github.io/MachineLearningThreeEasyLessons/intro.html I am using this as lecture material next week in Trieste. Feedback welcome! 😀

New paper out! "Ten simple rules for scientific code review" journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol..., in which I detailed how to use *code review* in academic research in a didactic, effective, and enjoyable manner.

Thrilled to share that I’ll be joining the University of California, Irvine as an Assistant Professor in EECS in 2025! The Xia Lab will be focusing on developing smart optical systems and computational tools to better image, sense, and process biomedical information probed by light. www.xia-lab.com

Federer’s speech is so touching. As a tennis fan of him, I can deeply relate to every single story he told.

We need to dispense with the fiction that journals urgently need our proofs back in 48 hours or whatever. It is ~never true (nothing happens if you submit in, say, 5 days) and is unnecessary stressful to junior folks 🧪

A 95% confidence interval could be a) 1.96 * the standard error b) 1.96 * the standard error of means c) 95% inner quantile of bootstrapped means d) 95% inner quantile of bootstrapped subject means e) 1.96 * the standard deviation f) 95% inner quantile of values g) 95% of damn near anything #stats

At ZEISS in Oberkochen, we have a stunning collection of old microscopes 🔬 in a place called Schatzkammer / treasury at the Carl Zeiss Museum of Optics / Microscopy - Although the origin of some of the 🔬 is unknown, they represent an essential part of tool development history & craftsmanship ❤️😀

I really enjoy traveling and meeting new people—I always feel inspired and excited. They help me shape a better understanding of the world. Now exploring a cool place called Aspen, its snowy weather, friendly people and small airport remind me Ithaca. ❤️

Our department is making little intro videos with faculty and students. Here's mine (though something seems to be wrong with the link card..): www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFMk...

Registrations are now open for the "Image Science" Gordon Research Conference (and accompanying Gordon research seminar) in June 2024 grc.org/image-scienc... *Apply now!* amazing program and opportunity to interact with peers and top-notch speakers in a beautiful environment!

Still have some Bluesky at Cornell

Working my way through applications to our faculty opening. In a way, it’s even more depressing than grant applications: so far, they range from good to outstanding. Many are deserving but only 1 will get the job.
