Large, complex data require the right environments to handle and process. Dirk v. Suchodoletz and his team create an open source virtual desktop infrastructure fit for bioimage data and more. @nfdi4bioimage.bsky.social @nfdi4plants.bsky.social #CoRDI2025

An enlightening opening keynote by Rob Finn from @ebi.embl.org at #CoRDI2025 in Aachen. Among others, he highlighted the rapid growth of data in the field of imaging as well as challenges of data handling and sharing across scales and technologies.
Looking forward to an exciting conference ahead.

Join Riccardo Massei, Michele Bortolomeazzi, & me -representing @nfdi4bioimage.bsky.social & #I3Dbio - for an introduction to the new Helmholtz #OMERO instance hosted in HIFIS by DigIT Infrastructure & Scientific Computing at @www.helmholtz-munich.de
🙏to @helmholtzimaging.bsky.social for organizing!

🌟 #MeetOurDataStewards – Why does #DataManagement matter? #1: Ksenia Krooß 🎥

Ksenia Krooß shares: “It keeps research organized, helps your future self and others, and accelerates science.” Don’t treat it as an afterthought— reach out to your local #RDM office or #NFDI initiative for support.

@joshmoore.bsky.social presenting at #ELMI2025 about the #Bioimaging community's immense efforts to pave the way to OME-Zarr 1.0 -
Stable cloud-readiness for bioimage data is getting real.

What a special atmosphere! #ELMI2025 Poster Session 1 on Helix A last night. The perfect environment to exchange with friends & colleagues about #bioimaging #RDM:
- OMERO-vitessce
- IO-FAST initiative
- @nfdi4bioimage.bsky.social Data Stewardship
Talks, Workshops & Poster Session 2 up ahead today!🔬

Who does microscopy and has never heard of Bio-Formats? You probably used it anyway

Great stimulating discussions about #bioimage data organization in #OMERO led by @tom-bssnnt.bsky.social from #i3dbio at #ELMI2025

🥳 We've just signed the Memorandum of Understanding with @globalbioimaging.bsky.social at #ELMI2025! 🥳
With this step, GerBI proudly joins the international network to foster global exchange, training, and collaboration in bioimaging.

On #ELMI2025 an ad-hoc Question&Answer session on OMERO went very well, lively discussion with lot of tips on finding the optimal path to successful OMERO adoption in an Institution.

I think the @naturemethods.bsky.social editorial is particularly timely this month in support of basic research funding in the life sciences. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🐿️ This week you could meet some of our colleagues at the FDM-Werkstatt in Münster. Various RDM tools were presented, tried out and discussed at the community workshop, including in a session with our @nfdi4bioimage.bsky.social colleague Jens Wendt. He explained how to embed OMERO.iviewer in eLabFTW.

🌟 Thank you for an amazing #TiM2025! 🌟
Five days filled with inspiring talks, cutting-edge workshops on #microscopy, #RDM, #ImageAnalysis, and much more!
A huge thank you to all 220 participants for your enthusiasm & contributions!
Special thanks to @gerhardholst.bsky.social for the group picture!

Today, #TiM2025 came to a close after a splendid talk by Anna Kreshuk @ilastik-team.bsky.social, Task Area Leader in @nfdi4bioimage.bsky.social, about making machine learning for bioimage analysis not only better but also more accessible.
Thanks to @gerbi-gmb.de for this exciting & inspiring week!

🔬Lasers in science, lasers on the dance floor! More fantastic moments from Day 4 of #TiM2025: Our #fluorescence party brought both, with a spectacular laser show and live saxophone beats from the amazing Moni Ramoni. 🎷🎶🔥

Memorable moments from Day 4 of #TiM2025: Key note speaker @superresolusian.bsky.social provided us inspiring insights into accuracy and reliability in #Fluorescence and #SuperResolution #Microscopy image processing.🔬🎯

Learning big time from our colleagues Guillaume Gay and Julio Mateos-Langerak from @france-bioimaging.bsky.social about Data Management Tools and practices in the French Community at the #TiM2025. Thanks for a great and personalized Workshop! 👏
