Last week our lab came together for our annual lab retreat, kindly hosted by @hlsalliance.bsky.social! We exchanged ideas about our research, spatial omics, and took part in some fun (albeit slightly competitive) activities.

1/ Ever wondered how to best quantify cell-cell neighbor preferences in tissues? We compared 9+ neighbor preference (NEP) methods for analysing spatial omics data and propose a novel approach that combines the most relevant analysis features which we call COZI 🔬✨ Read more: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

This is a great demonstration for anyone who does visual data analysis. There are 12 black dots – but you'll have trouble seeing more than one or two at a time. The human visual system is not an especially reliable way to process images or extract features from out-of-the-ordinary visual fields. 🧪☀️

An optical illusion "hides" 12 black dots in a grid of grey lines. Astonishingly, it is very difficult to see more than one of them at a time.

🧵 Bioinformatics faces a critical challenge: despite its importance, software quality often falls short due to the lack of proper development practices. In our latest paper, we advocate for improving software quality in bioinformatics through teamwork. academic.oup.com/bioinformati...

People potentially interested in a career in academic research are increasingly aware of the precarious contract situations and poor long-term career prospects in academia (seeimg also the situation of older postdocs) and choose alternative routes.
