My latest paper is now out in @J_Cell_Sci : https://journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/137/1/jcs261567/341218/Believing-is-seeing-the-deceptive-influence-of

Many thanks to my co-authors Leanna, Satya, Jesse, Leong, and to the entire @AICjanelia team for their feedback!

Every stage of a #microscopy project requires decisions, and those decisions are prone to #bias. In this paper, we use illustrative examples to describe potential pitfalls, and also provide strategies for mitigating bias.

Believing is seeing – the deceptive influence of bias in quantitative microscopy

Summary: Microscopy requires many decisions about experimental design, acquisition and analysis, and each choice is prone to human bias. We describe how each step must be carefully considered for scientific rigor.

I'm excited to be co-directing #IALSJanelia 2024 with Teng-Leong Chew! This 12-day boot camp hosted by @AICjanelia will allow participants to image biological samples across length scales on a variety of #microscopes, all while learning about #experimental design and image #analysis.

Optical Imaging Across Biological Length Scales

Applications are open to anyone interested in understanding the full spectrum of optical imaging capabilities, including graduate students, postdocs, independent scientists, faculty and core facility managers. To be considered, applicants must justify their need to learn imaging on multiple modalities, expand on prior imaging experience, and explain their motivation for taking

@ardemp and colleagues recently used cutting-edge super-resolution microscopy--including data from our #iPALM 🔬!-- to show how the sensory ion channel PIEZO1 changes shape in response to mechanical stimuli. Read more about it here: https://t.co/7E7ENfGp9J

Check out this fantastic post from Mai Rahmoon kicking off her ‘How they started…’ series on FocalPlane! Mai interviewed Teng-Leong Chew to discover the origins of @AICjanelia, Leong’s scientific journey and hopes for the future. https://focalplane.biologists.com/2023/07/21/how-it-they-started-with-the-advanced-imaging-center-aic/
