#Mastodon, the Command Center for Large-Scale Lineage-Tracing Microscopy Datasets, is finally heading for publication (well, let's see). To #cite or not to cite shall no longer be the question 🙃, because the #preprint. Software is available in every #Fiji near you. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

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.🧪⚛️

On the train back now from the 2nd ever #EMBODevMet, where I got to see many familiar faces, meet new people, and hear about lots of great and inspiring work combining two of my top scientific interests (development & metabolism) in so many different systems! 🤓🤩

The last day of lectures at #LISH25 starts with Gustavo Medeiros presenting applications of light sheet microscopy to #organoid research. @priscaliberali.bsky.social lab. Gustavo is a physicist and a creative artist and the walk-up song delivers that message. Video in thread.

Beautiful, moving combination of music, fish embryo microscopy, and Pablo Neruda poetry introduces Miguel Concha’s #LISH25 lecture. Walk-up song on another level! Like at #Woodstock. Fascinating and unusual #Morphogenesis of #killifish follows.

Second week of #LISH25 starts with Anna Kreshuk from @embl.org shifting the focus to data analysis, computer vision and machine learning. Appropriately, because our #HIVEs are overflowing with light sheet data. Very energetic, electrifying walk-up song.

Day four of #LISH25 begins with a powerful presentation by @loicaroyer.bsky.social on digitizing zebrafish development, combining light-sheet and single-cell data. Loïc took the #walk-up song to another level, improvising on the piano as his massive fish development visualisation played. Beautiful.
