It's hard to express how much gratitude I have to everyone involved in the journey, both mine and @napari.org's, that has led to this point. #EurekaPrizes A small attempt below: 👇

Hightech, Hoffnung, Haushaltslogik

Die Bundesregierung hat den Haushaltsentwurf für 2026 beschlossen. Was drin ist für Bildung und Forschung, – und warum die Prioritäten der Koalition in Wirklichkeit woanders liegen.

Cell tracking is never perfect, and it's important to understand the types of errors your solution contains.

Here is my stab at this: Divisualisations in @napari.org. github.com/bentaculum/d...

You spin tracks out upwards from the playing video. Green edges are correct, FP in magenta, FN in cyan.

Looking for an opportunity to work on cutting super-resolution microscopy and AI? There's still time to apply to the two positions!

🚨Join us! We're soon opening 3 postdoctoral positions in #AIDrivenBiology. Seeking biologists (especially microbiology and infection biology), computer scientists, and microscopy developers. Ideal candidates are those eager to use or develop next-gen tech for cell biology. Get in touch (DM/email)

Sometimes authors summarize their responses to 3-6 major points raised by the reviewers in their resub cover letters or at the top of their rebuttal letters. This is so super helpful to editors, because it brings us right up to speed after not having read the paper/reviews for months. THANKS!!

This biologist aims to solve the cell’s biggest mystery. Could it help cancer patients, too? Four decades after his lab found odd, massive particles inside cells, Leonard Rome is still determined to figure out what “vaults” do

Vaults! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing?

And for more updates check out our news feed: forum.image.sc/t/microsam-n...

We released version 1.6 of micro_sam:
- Improvements for automatic tracking.
- A new experimental mode for object classification.
- **New versions of the LM and EM models**
The models fix artifacts in automatic segmentation, see old vs. new prediction and better 3D segmentation results due to it.

I agree. This doesn't sound like terrible advice. Of course the LLM might make things up, so one has to check what's being generated and make sure it's factual. But that's always necessary with LLMs. (Unless used for 'low-stake automation', and even there some external check is best).
