giving someone your only copy of a book is always touching, but i saw a tweet a few months ago that described good mentorship as a relationship where your mentor is preparing you to be their peer. that was this relationship and im so grateful.

So excited to see our work on "Profiling the proximal proteome of the activated μ-opioid receptor" using APEX-based proximity labeling and quantitative mass spec published today. It is the result of an amazing team effort!

(1/5) Attention, Cellular Imaging Enthusiasts!
Thrilled to share that our Analysis "The Multi-modality Cell Segmentation Challenge: Towards Universal Solutions" has been published in Nature Methods (@NatureMethods) 🎉🎉🎉
Cell segmentation is a critical component of microscopy image analysis, but existing algorithms are often specialized for particular types of images or demand users to manually set hyper-parameters, posing challenges for biologists without a strong computational background.
To address these issues, we organized an international challenge at NeurIPS 2022 to promote the development of novel cell segmentation methods that excel across a wide array of microscopy images, imaging platforms, and tissue types.

Attention organelle enthusiasts!!
I am beyond thrilled to introduce Nellie: a fully automated pipeline for organelle segmentation, tracking, and hierarchical feature extraction in 2D/3D live-cell microscopy.

Excited to share my PhD work in @pgolshani 's lab designing and building low-cost miniature 2P microscopes with everyone! They cost < $10k USD (even at low production runs), are fitted with 2 on-board SiPM detectors, and are completely open-source! 1/5 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

WE NEED COMPUTATIONAL PEOPLE IN BIOLOGY. WE NEED THEM IN DRUG DISCOVERY AND MULTI OMICS. WE NEED HARDWARE PEOPLE TO BUILD SPECIFIC AND PORTABLE DEVICES. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY WE NEED DEVS. WE NEED TO MAKE OPEN ACCESS DATA AS ACCESSIBLE AS POSSIBLE. WE NEED COMPUTE GRANTS. GIVE

A few hours hacking with the great @jnuneziglesias and here it is #napari cutting through 0.5 billion of stars (7.3 TB) of the Milky Way, stored by @Blosc2 into just 1.9 GB.
Video done with the cheapest MacBook in the market, and the best Open Source. 🚀
