Postdoc at the Broad Institute studying image analysis and deep learning. Between analyzing images🔬, video games🎮 and movies, I get a lot of screen time.
Joined September 2014
Check out our team’s latest video tutorials that @bdiazrohrer and I put together for i2k: 1) how to use StarDist and CellPose in @CellProfiler and 2) how to classify cells using CellProfiler Analyst. #imageanalysis Links: 1) https://t.co/HkjPLPmE4d 2)

As bioimaging has moved from an observational method to a quantitative one, additional considerations are needed to carry out this work in a rigorous and reproducible manner. This Essay provides a...
I want to share the amazing resource that came out of this great collaboration - https://t.co/rUJg8Dq6u5 - a place to learn what you need to learn to do great quantitative microscopy, and where to learn it. Please check it out and let us know what you think, and/or contribute!

Thank you @tuesdaystitches for your amazing work on this! Published paper below, thread from when we preprinted at the link. Reach out if you are interested in Distributing something, it's way easier than you think! https://t.co/9J2RU8X1qi
Distributed-Something (DS) from the @CiminiLab is a collection of Python scripts that simplifies the process of deploying a new tool or program to a cloud computing environment.

My book is done. I need to write a conclusion to the last chapter and will likely rewrite some paragraphs, but I won't make major changes anymore. So if you're interested in building reproducible analytical pipelines with #RStats, take a look it's free: https://t.co/Vx8LGpddwR

We're hiring for our Postdoctoral Training Program in #BioimageAnalysis! Are you a wet lab biologist who wants to move into computational tools and workflows? Do you love collaborating with others & solving puzzles? Do you want a career-specific training program?

Have been impatiently waiting weeks for today! Can't wait to work with TWO fantastic groups of scientists to help make better imaging and image analysis educational materials, and to help image analysts work better together. Dream come true!
We’re also supporting collaborative projects that are #ImagingTheFuture by accelerating the dissemination & adoption of cutting-edge imaging technologies, methods, platforms and training resources https://t.co/tkBxwRLO02

I also see a trend for less play time during summer but this might have more to do with what games came out then than with something about the month itself (e.g., weather). More to come soon! 😉

Here I’m graphing daily play time summed for myself and my partner. Overall, some months show higher play times during the weekends but I’m a little surprised we seem to play pretty consistently throughout the week during most months.

#JNeurosci: Huang et al. @DrexelMedicine found that the raphe GABAergic and newly identified glutamatergic (Vglut3) neurons are better positioned to modulate hippocampal theta activity, in contrast to the raphe serotonergic neurons. https://t.co/PpDMQuBDXt

Hippocampal theta oscillations (HTOs) during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep play an important role in mnemonic processes by coordinating hippocampal and cortical activities. However, it is not fully...

looking thru old dvds and found a promo for GEAR UP, a program I was in for low income students to prep them for college. It was how I got to visit colleges. I forgot I was in this! Young me wanted to be a biologist. It’s a little different than expected but I did it!🔬👩🔬👩💻

Galactica: Wiki article on cellprofiler. Definitely not 100% accurate but better than I expected! #microscopy #bioimageanalysis

Using Galactica to generate a Wiki article on serotonin neurons… honestly it’s not too bad. Wish it had more citations though
