There's a lot to like in here. We've been involved in providing data analysis / AI training for life scientists for quite some time, but there's a lack of incentives for them to continue with ongoing training beyond stand-alone workshops.

Gentle reminder :-)

*Train the trainer in Bioimage Analysis* workshop in London (UK) on June 13th - applications open now, read on the thread to know more!

We also host a microscopy database on FocalPlane, which you can use for searching for collaborators, reviewers and speakers.

We'd like to invite all members of the community to join and use the Network.

Bioimaging and bioimage analysis friends, some help if you have 2-3 mins; for a paper, we're trying to estimate the number of biologists trained in open source software or tools in the last ~5 years. (1/2) #bioimaging #microscopy #bioimageanalysis

Join us for the #VirtualPub with Pete Bankhead, for a talk entitled "#QuPath for bioimage analysis." This is part of the Image Data Community Days & will be followed by the Tool Exchange.
