I'm experimenting with reactive notebooks for spatial omics. Introducing the LandmarksWidget: draw regions on tissue and bring points straight back into your Python analysis, no tool‑hopping. Built on anywidget + marimo. What are your #spatialomics analysis pain points?

Come check out cool demos with @marimo.io (reactive Python notebooks!) I’ll be doing a small demo at the next community call aug 25 on spatial omics. deets: luma.com/13c69h7x I'm also a new marimo ambassador! do reach out for event collabs in San Diego or Boston👋

It's been a minute but I found my way back to a conference; I'll be at AGBT this week representing @stellaromics.bsky.social to lend my experience communicating all things #spatialbio #bioinformatics #techbio #ai ! Looking forward to meeting new folks, please reach out if interested! 🧬🔬

Glad to be part of such an open and collaborative community pushing #SpatialBio forward! Thanks for inviting and hosting us @kevinyamauchi.bsky.social @lucamarconato.bsky.social & Giovanni Palla 🙏 I focused on the intro notebook and improving usability for first time users ⚒️ check it out! ->

Oof, software releases are always so nerve racking 😅 just updated bento-tools.readthedocs.io to v2.1.4 🥳 We now support 1-to-many spatial indexing for mapping cells to multiple organelles/subcellular domains, enabling the modeling of complex spatial relationships! #spatialbiology 🧪🧬🖥️
pip install bento-tools==2.1.4

I'm not in NLP or javascript, but found compromise.cool is a very cool example of "less is more" ❤️ #opensource

Hey science folks 🧪! Trying to stay on top of #SpatialBiology convos, tech, studies, conferences, etc.? Well here's a feed for you! bsky.app/profile/did:...

oof, this was probably inevitable with the status quo. but also eLife's impact factor would simply drop over time to reflect the "lower quality" if it really is the case. seems like a hasty decision by Clarivate. 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...
science.org
Open-access journal elife will lose its ‘impact factor’ over controversial publishing model
Web of Science index decides to strip key metric because elife’s unusual peer review doesn’t meet its criteria

Restarting a previous discussion on here: How convinced are #SingleCell people by cell-cell communication methods? I'm still at "not very" 😅 I see them used everywhere, but I don't know of any really good way to validate them... More importantly, I don't know of any *non-simulated* training data.

This is hard to hear. A lot more cuts to Federal science funding are likely in the offing. We need to find new/better/more ways to drive interdisciplinary collaboration and cooperation in science 🧪

Now that more of the spatial community is here, I've put together a feed for #SpatialBiology! Check it out here: bsky.app/profile/did:... Also, if you think it's missing posts, msg me the post and I'll see how I can improve things 🧪🖥️🧬

Safety of these individuals is also a concern of mine, as I’ve mentioned on another thread 🥲 But as we expand our own networks with new voices, hopefully we can brainstorm together how to protect everyone from harm 🧠 These online spaces are communities, and we gotta look out for one another 💕

So.. according to this umap, what cell type are you? 🧬🖥️

Agreed, reminder to myself to be mindful of inclusivity, biases and echo chambers when curating my own feed. 💡Related; I'm putting together a #spatialbiology starter pack, please let me know if you would like to be included!

Great list of curated individuals in the space! Though I recommend checking out who exactly is included 🧐 you can either "follow all" or follow accounts individually

Thanks for all the recent follows, I'm happy to see many familiar faces 😊 I'd like to briefly introduce myself here. I am a #bioinformatics scientist in #SanDiego building methods for #spatialbiology. I love building open source tools for the community and am excited to meet all of you!
