Beautiful, great work @phrn.org.au team!

This week, we're hosting the #EuroBioImaging All Hands Nodes Meeting at @embl.org Heidelberg! Yesterday we focused on #imaging technologies with Nodes & industry board partners. Today we explore international collaboration with @micro-au.bsky.social @globalbioimaging.bsky.social & much more to come!

Great opportunity to explore @ai4life.bsky.social's FAIR, open, community-driven repository of pre-trained AI models for image analysis, along with lessons learnt.

We have partnered with @micro-au.bsky.social to explore how richer reporting, impact tracking and usage data can be used to reveal impact. There are opportunities to explore a consistent approach to PIDs and ORCID implementation across Microscopy Australia's facilities.

If, hypothetically, a person were trying to set up a career panel series for bioimage analysis, what kinds of roles (or specific people) would you want to hear more about? Hypothetical nominations of all stripes welcome :) #bioimageanalysis

We are so lucky to work with the amazing women of Sydney Microscopy and Microanalysis. From managing facilities to sharing expertise with researchers, this #InternationalWomensDay, we'd like to celebrate some of the unsung heroes of the research world: the professional staff that make it happen.

The cover of the book says "Microscopy Australia Research Highlights 2024", next to it, in a circle cut out, is a black and white scanning electron micrograph of a rapid antigen test being developed to test for tropical viruses. It looks like overlapping fibres with liquid suspended between them.
