At my @scverse.bsky.social workshop, I used milume to explore @stellaromics.bsky.social 3D spatial tx data in colorectal cancer—the first public look at our data. Slice through the tumor, annotate regions, select neighborhoods, & bring them back into Python ( @marimo.io notebooks all the way! ) 2/3
As more scientific analysis is handed to agents, keeping humans in the loop matters even more. Someone still needs to look at the tissue and ask, “Does this make sense?” Explore milume: ckmah.github.io/milume What would you explore first in 3D? #spatialomics #spatialbiology 3/3
At #scverse2026 in Copenhagen this week for single-cell/spatial biology + open-source tools. Ask me for stickers! ✨ My workshop closes the program Wed, previewing 3D spatial omics and why human-in-the-loop still matters. @scverse.bsky.social @stellaromics.bsky.social @marimo.io
I'm experimenting with reactive notebooks for spatial omics. Introducing the LandmarksWidget: draw regions on tissue and bring points straight back into your Python analysis, no tool‑hopping. Built on anywidget + marimo. What are your #spatialomics analysis pain points?
Come check out cool demos with @marimo.io (reactive Python notebooks!) I’ll be doing a small demo at the next community call aug 25 on spatial omics. deets: luma.com/13c69h7x I'm also a new marimo ambassador! do reach out for event collabs in San Diego or Boston👋
It's been a minute but I found my way back to a conference; I'll be at AGBT this week representing @stellaromics.bsky.social to lend my experience communicating all things #spatialbio #bioinformatics #techbio #ai ! Looking forward to meeting new folks, please reach out if interested! 🧬🔬
Glad to be part of such an open and collaborative community pushing #SpatialBio forward! Thanks for inviting and hosting us @kevinyamauchi.bsky.social @lucamarconato.bsky.social & Giovanni Palla 🙏 I focused on the intro notebook and improving usability for first time users ⚒️ check it out! ->
Recently, we held the first #scverse SpatialData 3-day hackathon in Basel (Switzerland), where we brought together 20 developers from the Python, R, and web communities to work on interoperability, performance, and ergonomics for spatial omics data. Here is what we worked on!

Closing 2024, scverse celebrates growth and collaboration! Huge thanks to everyone on this journey and our core team & board (@fabiantheis.bsky.social, @francescafinotello.bsky.social, @steglelab.bsky.social, Nir Yosef, @panosroussos.bsky.social, @robp.bsky.social). Here's to an inspiring 2025!
Oof, software releases are always so nerve racking 😅 just updated bento-tools.readthedocs.io to v2.1.4 🥳 We now support 1-to-many spatial indexing for mapping cells to multiple organelles/subcellular domains, enabling the modeling of complex spatial relationships! #spatialbiology 🧪🧬🖥️
This looks amazing! Really appreciate the focus on documentation and usability.
Very pleased to announce that our package for Multiscale Spatial Analysis - MuSpAn - has landed! The preprint is on biorxiv now, but you can find a lot more details at www.muspan.co.uk, including documentation, worked tutorials (an ever-expanding list), install guides, and how to get the code!
I'm not in NLP or javascript, but found compromise.cool is a very cool example of "less is more" ❤️ #opensource
Just came across compromise.cool which is a pretty cool and handy #NLP for #javascript. Just sayin'...
Hey science folks 🧪! Trying to stay on top of #SpatialBiology convos, tech, studies, conferences, etc.? Well here's a feed for you! bsky.app/profile/did:...
oof, this was probably inevitable with the status quo. but also eLife's impact factor would simply drop over time to reflect the "lower quality" if it really is the case. seems like a hasty decision by Clarivate. 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...

Now that more of the spatial community is here, I've put together a feed for #SpatialBiology! Check it out here: bsky.app/profile/did:... Also, if you think it's missing posts, msg me the post and I'll see how I can improve things 🧪🖥️🧬

This is hard to hear. A lot more cuts to Federal science funding are likely in the offing. We need to find new/better/more ways to drive interdisciplinary collaboration and cooperation in science 🧪
What a horrible day again, 2nd time this year. Slowly finding out which of our colleagues have been let go, we have lost some good people from the Science Division today 🧪😢 💔 www.space.com/nasa-jpl-lay...
Agreed, reminder to myself to be mindful of inclusivity, biases and echo chambers when curating my own feed. 💡Related; I'm putting together a #spatialbiology starter pack, please let me know if you would like to be included!
Starter packs are a great way to find people. But I followed a few tech/AI starter packs, and now have a sizeable gender skew in who I'm following. To counteract, I started collecting this list. Who else should I be following & add? 👇 go.bsky.app/LaGDpqg

Genomics, evolution, and more starter pack! Help build community with this starter pack. This list is currently incomplete. Want to be included? Reply and I will remedy that! go.bsky.app/JjvzkWU
