Fantastic line of speakers for this upcoming edition of #CBIAS26🤩 With a novelty this year: image analysis beyond bio! Let's all share expertise, who knows, maybe tracking stars accros the galaxy is as exciting and challenging as tracking cells accros a whole embryo? Share far and wide #microscopy

It is always fun to explore the wonders of this world of ours through the eyes of the little ones. But my heart goes out to the adults that bring them to these events. To those that already know all the answers and to those that indulge in the joy or learning something new 🌱

I've always thought Morgan's White Eyed Drosophila paper is neat! (if not *too classic*) It's a cool story, reads like a lab report and even as an undergrad not studying in English it was simple enough to follow. www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/1...

I am QT dunking but I think this is a case where it is warranted: Science is political and "not wanting to see politics" as a scientist is a political choice. You may decide it's what works for you, but you need to decide how that fits with the fact your (diverse) colleagues still exist 🧪
