Absolutely over the moon about this Focus issue on the future of bioimage analysis!!! (a short thread)
For this Focus issue, we asked experts in bioimaging from around the world to tell us what excited them about the future of bioimage analysis for the next 5-20 years. (1/n) All Focus content can also be found here: https://t.co/ckMtBOofwv

I'd like to draw your attention to this truly excellent paper from the Taraska lab on cryoET of plasma membrane associated proteins. Everyone who is thinking about probes in the cryoET space should also see what they could do with ferritag (fig 6) https://t.co/H0YV1aGeH5

Baltimore's drop in homicides - 23% since last year and a staggering 40% from two years ago - should be a national story. Mayor Scott's Group Violence Reduction Strategy, which prioritizes resources to those most at risk and community engagement, should be studied and replicated.
