It was a huge pleasure to weigh in and answer an impossible question: “What will be in 25 years?” I think it turned out quite interesting! 🤩

Our cover indicates that while we celebrate the past we're looking ahead to the future - with the help of a Viewpoint!

13 researchers offer a glimpse of what their research field might look like in 2050 🔮

I mean… come on! You plus 10 more young AI in the life sciences groups, surrounded by all the other DDLS groups that are there already, working on all the data from @scilifelab.se and friends… 🤯

So! Much! Potential!
SO! MUCH! FUN!
🤓

Ready to shape the future of AI in life science? The next call for DDLS Fellows is opening soon, offering an outstanding opportunity for ambitious young researchers to establish their own internationally competitive research groups. This round has a...

🚨 Wow, that really sounds like an amazing opportunity… If I were a bit younger, I would start preparing my application already… 😮

I have some BIG NEWS to share today!

Today I begin my next adventure as

Chief Editor of Nature Biomedical Engineering!!

(a thread) @natmethods.nature.com @natbiomedeng.nature.com @natureportfolio.nature.com

This week, we have Jörg Bewersdorf 🔬 visit us at @humantechnopole.bsky.social.
He gave a fantastic talk on Monday and a very useful ad-hoc microscopy workshop today. The future of Pan-labeled Expansion Microscopy will be amazing! 🌟
Thanks, Jörg, for visiting & sharing! 🙏

$8 trillion lost.....

First day of #bobiac2025. Six days of intensive Python based #BioImageAnalysis. Intro by @fedegasparoli.bsky.social
- "This will be a long week, but it will change your life".

Submit your method to our denoising challenge!!! 👍

#CALIPERSv2 🚀 preprint is locked—journal submission next. Final polish, more hiPSC reference lines, and fresh light-sheet data. Still, a great collaboration led by @moisesdisante with the team @LabPhysiology and the amazing @berterolab.bsky.social and @florianjug.bsky.social group members! 1/N

🐾 The BioImage Model Zoo just got a major upgrade!

It has been fully redesigned, offering a new backend, model uploader, community curation tools, and integrated browser-based test runs powered by BioEngine. 🧪

Explore now 👉 bioimage.io

Join the challenge, get the data, contribute your solution!!! 🎉

Who do you want to excel today?
I’d love to see Kilian doing well… and Hans Troyer… but the field is STACKED!!! (And I doubt those two will win, will they?)

My guilty pleasure… every year… 🍿 + 🏃
This year will be craaazy!!! I feel it!!!

AI4Life Microscopy Denoising Challenge - Grand Challenge Wellcome to AI4Life-MDC24! In this challenge, we want to focus on an unsupervised denoising of microscopy images. By participating, researchers can contribute to a critical area of scientific research...

If unsupervised approaches are your thing, also check out the unsupervised denoising challenge and submit your solutions (the challenge is from last year, but we are still taking entries from everyone who is interested).

Submission deadline: July 4th
Hey, you have a month left to submit your work!!! 👍

The AI4Life Community Event comes to a close. We wrapped up with a big-picture discussion around the sustainability of services and the role that AI4Life plays in the EOSC.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in Helsinki and online! 🦒
Stay connected 💚

Amaaazing talk by Sebi @sebi06.bsky.social Rhode from Zeiss (maybe @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social) today at the @ai4life.bsky.social community meeting.
Teasing us with great software solutions and good dev mindset! 👍

Thanks, that was a super informative talk! 🙏

📘 Where science meets policy: Stefan Liebler (European Commission 🇪🇺) shares insights on Open Science, AI, EOSC, and how projects like AI4Life support the European research strategy. But also, he showcased notebooks running on the EOSC EU node! 🤖

GloBIAS @globias.bsky.social presents itself (via the one and only @mycroscopy.bsky.social) at the @ai4life.bsky.social communityevent in Helsinki!
Join as a member and come to Japan this fall!!! 🎉

AI is an integral part of Fragment-Screen - great to be recognised at the @ai4life.bsky.social Community Meeting today!

We are keen to interact with experts across Europe and beyond to advance the use of AI and Machine Learning for FBDD! @instruct-eric.bsky.social @eurobioimaging.bsky.social
