Sharing the protocol we're using in the lab to rapidly & easily assemble combinatorial sets of microbial communities + script to adapt the protocol to different situations. Hope it's useful to others. @the100footpole @jdiazc9 @magdalenasrr @andrea_arrabal_

Great suggestions on the best approaches for diving into microscopy imaging.
1. My top imaging trick to trainees is that before they spend any time taking pictures of the data they just sit there for a while & look at the stuff. Like seriously, sit back, crank some tunes, get cozy & spend some quality time with your slides.

Excited to release our latest work, led by Sebastian Gonzalez La Corte (@sesgonzalez) with Ned Wingreen: https://t.co/BO5DJXTbjp! Here, we show that polymers unexpectedly sculpt proliferating bacterial colonies into spaghetti-like "cables".🦠🍝 Tweetorial follows! [1/10]

1/42 New preprint: turns out MuLTEE is not only the longest running multicellularity evolution experiment (1000 days and counting), but also the longest running polyploidy evolution experiment! It reveals how whole-genome duplication (WGD) arises and impacts long-term evolution.

Stop the video and tell me if you can locate the disk (I bet you can't). When even your eyes cannot identify cells in a still image, improving the segmentation method is pointless. A better approach is to use temporal information from previous frames and next frames.
This PRX Life paper debuts DisNet2D, a deep #NeuralNetwork for image analysis. The method merges tracking and segmentation to achieve low error rate, allowing advanced image analysis of densely-packed cells. 📝 https://t.co/87H3Z01pct
