New version of #Mastodon-SC, the Fiji plugin to track and lineage cells in gigantic movies!
What is Mastodon? 👉 in the preprint linked to the quote post
What's new? 👇
#Mastodon, the Command Center for Large-Scale Lineage-Tracing Microscopy Datasets, is finally heading for publication (well, let's see). To #cite or not to cite shall no longer be the question 🙃, because the #preprint. Software is available in every #Fiji near you.

Segmenting individual cells in microscopy is much easier these days thanks to foundation models. Can we use these models for other tasks, such as cell classification? We investigate in our latest work, finding big improvements for object and pixel classification compared to classical approaches.
New resource for teaching and learning BioImage Analysis, long in the making, from @tischi.bsky.social and friends, incl. @carpentries.carpentries.org. With roots in the material developed for NEUBIAS workshops.
🔬Modern instruments generate vast bioimage data, yet few experts can analyze it. The authors of this new open access paper present here a modular, open-source bioimage analysis training resource, that allows efficient course design and delivery.

How does one cell become an entire animal? We can now film it in 3D 🐟, but turning those movies into accurate cell tracks is brutally hard. Enter our new #Kaggle challenge: $60K prize pool, to help crack 3D+time cell tracking at scale! 🧵👇
