Would have been interesting to try to get this published by @springernature.com, which is 53% owned by one man, Stefan von Holzbrinck en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holtzbr...

Worth thinking about when they try to stick you for a €10k APC.

@financialtimes.com as well. Clearly they're all regurgitating the same PR gavage.

We are pleased to announce that registration for the 7th edition of the Crick BioImage Analysis Symposium #CBIAS 2026 is now open!
🕐November 23rd-24th, 2026📍The Francis Crick Institute, London. We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible there (or online 😀)

1-year MRes projects at the RVC are open for application! I've got 2; 1 on combining experimental data with musculoskeletal simulations to understand how broiler chickens walk while growing, & 1 #DAWNDINOS choice of fossil critters to simulate:

Good one. Figured out long ago that chasing glam rags is a fool's errand.

Our job is to discover truth and disseminate it. Everything else is a wasteful distraction.

*dissemination has been practically free for the last 30 years thanks to the Internet.

Celeste is in orbit!🚀 ESA’s first two #Celeste demo satellites have successfully launched on RocketLab’s Electron from New Zealand, starting tests of a complementary #LEO layer for #Galileo to boost resilience and unlock new PNT services.

Great to see X-ray microtomography on @eurobioimaging.bsky.social

🚨 We are hiring! Personally, I think this is a fantastic job, good salary, and fun work place with exceptional colleagues.

⚠️ Warning, I’m quite biased… but still right! 😜

OK! I'll keep my eyes open for good ones 👀. Thinking the Helsingin Yliopiston Kirjasto would be a good start. @helsinki.fi

As a fan of both libraries and staircases this is a real kick.

Are you open to contributions to #staircasesinlibraries from other libraries, @stabihh.bsky.social ?

We have three neuroscience research software engineering jobs available at @sainsburywellcome.bsky.social, two joint with the Advanced Microscopy Facility.

All positions start ASAP, funded until Sept 2028 in the first instance. Salary £54-64k.

More details: neuroinformatics.dev/get-involved

Asking the LLM to write a thing is a lot like asking whether someone already built something like what you want. The more conventional your request the more accurate the response, because there's a stronger signal for it in the training data.

DYK Kenneth Grahame was the Secretary of the Bank of England

😂
Avoid Springer Nature - until they adopt fair business practices like paying for all labour they need for their (apparently) premium service.

DYK only two people own half of the company?

How can we make sure community software projects that are delivering value are worth looking after from the developers' perspective?

I've always found that being paid is highly motivating. Now there is a fair way for users to help developers keep going: @beancounter.ch

Weird when your "hobby" can be used by others for their profit.

The traditional way to receive thanks for doing work that has value to others is to take payment 💰. I've been working on a mechanism to do this, currently working for BoneJ+, and easy to set up for other ImageJ plugins @beancounter.ch

Agree - really looking at images is also super important when you turn the scope the other way to observe tiny nearby things. Just looking and thinking, what's going on here?

(numbers and measurements and big data and ML etc. will follow naturally from this)

It takes a lot of practice before you hear/see your own performance as something that's you and in your control, rather than an unfamiliar view of yourself. Experience: voicing ads for NZ student radio. (I had an excellent director and producer).

Sorry to learn this. Alan was a brilliant colleague.

Taking (paid) requests to make enhancements to @bonej.org. What would make it better for you? Contact me for a quote.

📢 Release alert!

BoneJ ulna-r10 brings much anticipated ROI support to Area/Volume Fraction.

TV (TA) = pixel volume (area) in the ROI
BV (BA) = foreground pixel volume (area) in the ROI

Thanks to Sandra Shefelbine at Northeastern for commissioning development of this much-requested enhancement.
