Breaking News: Spain issued a decree allowing hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants to apply for legal residency. The measure is bucking a trend, as many Western governments have cracked down on illegal immigration.
To accelerate the publication process, @biologyopen.bsky.social are testing an initiative that prioritises fast but fair peer review. This approach pays reviewers while requiring them to complete high-quality reviews in a set timeframe. Apply to be a reviewer www.biologists.com/bio-fast-and...
Best two minutes of your day.
Trust me.
I was invited by @focalplane.bsky.social to write a short description about it:

#Mastodon, the Command Center for Large-Scale Lineage-Tracing Microscopy Datasets, is finally heading for publication (well, let's see). To #cite or not to cite shall no longer be the question 🙃, because the #preprint. Software is available in every #Fiji near you.

Wait, Mastodon wasn't published yet???????? @jytinevez.bsky.social @paveltomancak.bsky.social

The Cajal Neuroscience Center announces the newly approved #ScientificAdvisoryBoard, established by #CSIC.
We welcome its members and appreciate their support to our scientific strategy.
SAB: O. Marín, A. Lüthi, M. Bartos, M. Heneka, M. Sánchez-Vives, S. Pasca, M. Á. Moro.
We are moving neuroscience forward with the support of our outstanding SAB. @marinlab.bsky.social @mbartos.bsky.social @sergiuppasca.bsky.social Luthi, Heneka, Sanchez-Vives & Moro
Looks like someone is misusing GloBIAS and its president name to approach people for money transfers. Please note - GloBIAS will always send proper payment requests and has no need for members and volunteers to transfer money on their behalf.
For #3DThursday we’re introducing Dynamic Depth color mapping! It encodes distance with smooth depth-aware gradients so layered structures pop without losing context.

Felix Zhou's u-Segment3D is out:
www.nature.com/articles/s41...
It leverages 2D cell segmentations from orthoviews to generate a ‘consensus’ 3D segmentation.
It does a great job on segmenting densely packed samples, and we have used the algorithm in many applications.

The FPbase spectra viewer just had it's biggest software refactor in 6 years. It *should* be largely invisible to the end user (hopefully just faster and less buggy). Please let me know if you find any issues as you use it!

Episode 17 - perhaps my favorite yet. How do you write a forum.image.sc post that will get you the answers you need without revealing information you don't want to tell? @erinweisbart.bsky.social and I go through what the experts need to know to help you. Post your sci q's today on forum.image.sc !
mStayRose is published in JBC 🥳🎉
Congratulations @wsctt.bsky.social @sporemohan.bsky.social and team for the monumental effort to make a non-natural amino acid incorporating fluorescent protein accessible. It's based on mStayGold, bright, and photostable:
