Check out our amazing #bobiac2025 cohort! Was a joy to teach this group! Thanks @bioimagingna.bsky.social for generously supporting this 6 week bioimage analysis w/Python course!

Day 1 of #bobiac2025 🐍

The day started strong with @talley.codes speaking about the Python ecosystem and uv. Students then gave short talks about their research (#coolscience). It was then time to code in Python with @sciencedoodles.bsky.social!

Thank you Guillaume!

First day of #bobiac2025. Six days of intensive Python based #BioImageAnalysis. Intro by @fedegasparoli.bsky.social

In the past 2 days, we had the great pleasure to host an in-person workshop at @istaresearch.bsky.social with the collaboration of @globias.bsky.social, @carpentries.carpentries.org and @istaustria-iof.bsky.social.

We wanted to create a go-to course for image analysis in Python. Info in the thread!

Your yearly reminder to acknowledge the core facilities you use and their staff scientists in your papers. These scientists are a crucial part of the scientific ecosystem and to continue to exist they need tangible credit for their work. Plus their associated expertise adds credibility to your work.

We wrote an opinion with simple, practical advice for building data exploration workflows in quantitative cell biology with @guijacquemet.bsky.social and @hanna09.bsky.social . I hope you find it useful!

Ask Erin, Dear Beth On Ask Erin/Dear Beth, bioimage analysis experts Beth Cimini and Erin Weisbart, of the Imaging Platform at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, answer your image analysis questions! Whether it’s ab...

Delighted to announce that @erinweisbart.bsky.social and I have teamed up to create a new bioimage analysis video podcast called Ask Erin/Dear Beth - you can check it out at the link below! It will highlight common challenges in #bioimageanalysis, as well as our favorite solutions to them. (1/x)

Now that looks like a great new course to check out!
More python 🐍 heavy than other courses I know… which is great to have! 👍
Check it out, sign up, learn!!! 🤩

The registration close Tuesday next week!

This summer, we are running a one-week intensive workshop on Python-based BioImage Analysis.
Are there better ways to spend 6 days in mid-July in Boston?Probably.
Would you learn as much as you will here? Probably not.

Newest version of Cellpose can spot cell boundaries even in cloudy conditions Picking out individual cells in distorted microscopy images is now as easy as clicking a button. A new version of Cellpose – the popular tool that maps the boundaries of diverse cells in microscopy

Bring your samples into focus! A new version of the #Cellpose cell boundary mapping tool, developed at @hhmijanelia.bsky.social by @computingnature.bsky.social and @marius10p.bsky.social, now works on less-than-perfect microscopy images that are noisy, blurry, or undersampled.

Thrilled to be teaching this course again this semester!
Join us in Boston for an exciting day of learning image analysis, cell detection & classification, spatial analysis and so much more using QuPath.
