Absolutely over the moon about this Focus issue on the future of bioimage analysis!!! (a short thread)
11 Jul 2023
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:

🔬Check out #FACED 2.0 for high-throughput, in vivo 2D/3D two-photon fluorescence microscopy led by Na Ji. Excited to be part of it and see how #FACED is further pushed its limit!!
🧠Continuous 3D imaging of cerebral blood flow within millimeter-scaled volumes in the cortex of awake mice.
🧠Simultaneous recording of voltage activity > 200 neurons ; calcium activity > 14,000 neurons.

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) nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

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.

It is very sad to learn that Martin Karplus passed away on Dec 28 at age 94. He was a scholar and pioneering chemical physicist with great contributions in many areas including molecular dynamics. We interacted many times starting from my graduate time at Harvard. His legacy is reinforced by the large number of coworkers who have also done much to advance computational science.
