Graphical abstract that depicts the flow of experiments, showing the relation between different steps/protocols

We've redesigned a practical course on cell biology. This will run for the 1st time with 100+ students, starting next week. I've made a graphical abstract to help students (and myself) understand where we are in the process....

We have integrated the Allen Institute's BioFile Finder app with IDR. You can quickly Group and Filter all images in a study. Data is served by the IDR search engine and supports up to a million images at a time. BioFile Finder links are on each study page e.g. idr.openmicroscopy.org/study/idr0056/

Indeed, indeed.
I'm sure there are plenty of papers around that were wrongly using cameras to monitor chemical reactions. Especially with the rise of the SDL, this is an extremely important topic....
Just because you see a color, it doesn't mean that your camera can quantify it....

Using Appose with Pixi and Napari for reproducible deep learning segmentation workflows.
YouTube video by Brian Northan Using Appose with Pixi and Napari for reproducible deep learning segmentation workflows.

New video: more examples showing deep learning segmentation failure modesβ€”and how to detect them with Napari. I show how Napari’s layer system compares images, ground truth, and results, and how Appose enables comparison across incompatible DL packages. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c369...
