When #FluorescenceFriday falls on Halloween, we break out the spooky data πŸ‘» Here we are looking at the blood vessels of a zebrafish through its eye πŸŽƒ
We enjoyed joining the Loudoun County Public Library at Old Ox Brewing last night to hear Teng-Leong Chew discuss microscopy with our local community 🍻
Allison Truhlar just released a beautiful website describing projects from the #OpenScience Software Initiative at #HHMIJanelia: https://ossi.janelia.org

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.

@jni My understanding is that JCS will make this paper open access 6 months after publication. (The HHMI immediate open access policy excludes Opinion pieces.)

Luckily, JCS allows for immediate self-archiving, so you can also find the paper on the AIC website: https://www.aicjanelia.org/publications

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.
