Darren Thomson @darrenthomson.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Day 1 of Mycology Bioimaging for Fungal AMR went well. Highlight was using Fiji on the IMJOY browser to all follow image segmentation exercises together. It worked really well for 110 attendees. They could even all run Cellpose. @mrccmm.bsky.social 040
Darren Thomson @darrenthomson.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I’ll be running an online course in Mycology Bioimaging and want to use #Zulip to capture longer-form questions. Has anyone used it for any other useful activities? Thinking of depositing images there for an #Fiji demo ran over Imjoy browser (for 190 people, else #BAND would have been preferred) 022

Reposted by Darren ThomsonTeresa O'Meara @teresaomeara.bsky.social · 20/01/2026Candida albicans is usually hanging out with bacterial neighbors, so what happens to the fungus during co-culture? The bacteria secrete metabolites that induce massive cell wall remodeling that change immune recognition and drug resistance. Read more in our new paper: www.cell.com/current-biol... 23512
