Empowering the next generation of bioimaging experts! 🌎

After many months crafting the Lightsheet Image Analysis Workshop 2026 with @bruvellu.bsky.social & @cuencam15.bsky.social. Seeing students finally crack their toughest project data on day 5 made every hour of prep worth it! 🧵👇

Presentation slide showing a distinction between how to organize a research project (open-ended, flexible structure and naming, labnotebook integration) versus a research paper (self-contained, strict structure and naming, independent documentation). Projects are more about having a record of activities while papers are more geared towards ensuring reproducibility.

Nice essays (post and preprint), thanks for sharing! I find it useful to distinguish projects (open-ended, flexible structure and naming, labnotebook integration) vs papers (self-contained, strict structure and naming, independent documentation) with the latter being more geared to reproducibility

A Philosophy for Advancing Reproducibility in Modern Biological Research The ubiquity of computation in modern research inflicts new challenges for reproducibility. How do we navigate the digital waters?

Great work! I use a similar construction, though not including paper text (medium.com/@griffinchur...)

Would be great to chat sometime about it!

BigVolumeBrowser: a new 3D multi volume/mesh/point clould (SMLM) data viewer Hello everyone, I’d like to share with you another 3D viewer for FIJI, BigVolumeBrowser (full documentation link). It‘s a first initial public release, so there is still space for improvements. Le...

Finally, the first public release of #BigVolumeBrowser, so after teasers, you can try it yourself. For details, please check the announcement post (1/2)

DAFT: minimal principles for reproducible research papers - Bruno C. Vellutini DAFT principles are a minimal set of principles I've been using to organize my research papers that foster good scientific practice.

I wrote a post describing a minimal set of principles that I've been using to make my research papers a bit more reproducible. Would love hearing what you think! #OpenScience

Super thrilled to see our review out! It was a great experience to put this together with @sameerthukral.bsky.social and @yuchiunwang.bsky.social. Use it as a primer to the field or as inspiration to brainstorm how rigidity transitions can bridge scales!

Thanks a lot to @elisecutts.bsky.social for nicely highlighting and putting in context our article! It was very interesting to discuss together, notably about the analogies between the emergence of order in Hydra and other physical phenomena.

Hydra are a cosmos in a cuvette Anaïs Bailles on astrophysics and immortal animals

Hydra are ~basically~ immortal.

Shred 50 of the lil guys to bits and pack their cells in a blob, and that blob will grow into a new Hydra... albeit with a few extra heads!

This week's post is a Q&A @anaisbailles.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de about the physics of how Hydra coax order from chaos.🧪⚛️

Amazing news, Laurent! Congratulations!

I am very happy to announce that the Echinox Lab will open in the BIOM unit at @obs-banyuls.fr in January 2026!! 🥳

We will use several echinoderm species to study animal body plan evolution.

Important story dissecting the mechanism of gut cell extrusion using organoids. Local heterogeneity of tension promotes live extrusion and basal relaxation is sufficient to kick the cell out. Nice combination of optogenetics and live imaging to demonstrate this

Thrilled to share 🎉 I’m starting my lab at University of Zurich,
DMLS as Assistant Professor (tenure track) from Jan 2026!
The Neural MorphoGenomics & Developmental Dynamics Lab will be exploring how genes + morphogenesis shape brain development with organoids, imaging & spatial genomics 🧠🔬🧬

Thank you Mette!
