YouTube video by Blender Microscopy Nodes: handling large biological volumes — Blender Conference 2025

I gave a talk at Blender Conference yesterday, showing how biological volumes work, and how to visualize them in Blender 😋 youtu.be/WPajSWX730o?... #bcon25

Trackastra is part of the brand-new TrackMate v8.

It is the first deep-learning-based ("AI") drop-in replacement for TrackMate's regular LAP-Track algorithm.

Tracks out of the box for many types of datasets (bacteria, fluorescent nuclei, phase contrast cell culture etc), zero parameters to tune 🤖

Python package managers: uv vs pixi? When I talk to people about Python package management in 2025 I see the following tools in active use; uv, pixi, pip, conda, mamba, micromamba and poetry. There may be others, but I don’t hear much ab...

For Python package management I use a mixture of pixi, uv and conda depending on the task I'm doing.

I wrote up a long form post about the history of these tools, why each one exists, and why I settled on these choices in my workflow.

I did it again. @globias.bsky.social #GloBIAS2025

Here's hoping I get a chance again next year.

Hackathon participants group picture

We had an amazing OME-NGFF hackathon last week, Wednesday to Friday, following the inspiring OME-NGFF symposium. What a fantastic week! It’s hard to describe how motivating it is to be surrounded by so many talented, curious & friendly people who care deeply about open, FAIR bioimaging data.

Just 4 days until the start of I2K and its 33 totally free image analysis tutorials and events! Please share with your "home networks", especially early career researchers - the videos will be amazing and high-impact no matter how many people attend live, BUT (1/x)

We wrapped up the symposium part of our 2025 International OME-NGFF workshop on Tuesday. What a phenomenal two days! I'm humbled by the incredible positive energy, talent, and enthusiasm that filled this event.

One of the best “outcomes” of my 10+ years in Szczecin was finding out about and getting into Łona and Webber!

Been busy in Zürich für the last 24h or so. Talks have been great so far, and I have a talk too. Still find it weird to see my name on a poster.

Talking about impostor syndrome.....
I'll be a teacher in the EMBO "Hack your Microscope" together with some of the very best researchers in the field.

I truly appreciate the organizers, core contributors, and all attendees for this wonderful opportunity! I enjoyed learning and working on napari in a welcoming environment.
Those interested in talking about and contributing to napari, let’s join the regular community meeting together!

It was a fantastic opportunity to finally meet the people behind this software that I have been using for years and is so important for my work! A big thank you to all core developers who were so welcoming, and patiently guided participants in their attempts to contribute back to napari!

Another #OME-Zarr RFC, another implementation! Started a basic display of OME-Zarr Collections (RFC-8) in ome-ngff-validator at github.com/ome/ome-ngff...

This is shaping up to be a banger!! Don’t miss it!!

🚀 Exciting news! The SciPy 2025 Proceedings are officially published:
👉 proceedings.scipy.org/2025

Huge thanks to the Proceedings Committee, @curvenote.com, Jim Weiss, all the authors, and reviewers who made this happen. 🙌

No matter how advanced you become in bioengineering, the rake awaits us all. The most important thing to do in this godforsaken field is to learn deeply from failure, maintain intellectual humility, and speak up about your struggles. You never know who is out there ready to help.

the schedule of my course

Highlight from the university website

the student evaluation for the Sensors and Device "pandemic edition" course

More than 10 years ago, I designed my first course, Sensors and Devices, in which I teach Arduino and 3D printing to life science and biotech students.
This year is the last year of this course.
That was a fantastic run, and I will see how this will transform into a new course next year.
