🚀 #MotilA now runs with #OMIO!

Today’s version release v1.1.2 adds much more flexible image I/O: #TIFF/ OME-TIFF, #CZI, #LSM & #Thorlabs RAW are now read via OMIO and normalized to #OME-compliant TZCYX axis-order, automatically. So, no more manual axis reordering before analysis 🤗

🌍 https://motila.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#motila-v1-1-2

#microglia #motility #Bioimageanalysis #Python

#OMIO currently supports: #TIFF, #OMETIFF, #TIFFseries, #ZEISS #LSM and #CZI, #Thorlabs RAW. All inputs are mapped to a unified representation with #OME-compatible axis semantics and standardized metadata handling.

Zuckerberg: nasi naukowcy nie chcą więcej laboratoriów. „Oni po prostu chcą GPU”

Mark Zuckerberg i Priscilla Chan, którzy kierują swoją wartą miliardy dolarów inicjatywą filantropijną Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI), ogłosili niedawno zmianę strategii.

Stawiają teraz na naukę napędzaną przez AI. W niedawnym wywiadzie dla „The a16Z Podcast” para w idealny sposób podsumowała, co jest obecnie najważniejszą walutą w badaniach.

Okazuje się, że w nowoczesnych laboratoriach biologicznych, które finansuje CZI, nikt nie prosi o większe biura ani więcej personelu. „Nie rozbudowujemy zbytnio powierzchni [laboratoryjnej], ale rozbudowujemy naszą moc obliczeniową (compute)” – powiedziała Priscilla Chan. „Naukowcy, oni nie chcą pracowników pracujących dla nich, nie chcą przestrzeni, oni po prostu chcą GPU” – dodał Mark Zuckerberg.

„Nowa przestrzeń laboratoryjna”

Chan, która z wykształcenia jest pediatrą, dodała, że to właśnie moc obliczeniowa jest dziś nową przestrzenią badawczą. „W pewnym sensie to jest nowa przestrzeń laboratoryjna. I jest znacznie droższa niż tradycyjne laboratorium biologiczne” – stwierdziła.

Plany te są już wdrażane. Biohub, w partnerstwie z firmą EvolutionaryScale, ogłosił, że zwiększy swoją moc obliczeniową z obecnego 1000 GPU do „około 10 000” GPU do 2028 roku.

Jak podsumowuje amerykański Business Insider, ten trend widać wszędzie. Nawet w sprawozdaniach finansowych firmy Meta słowo „compute” (moc obliczeniowa) padało wielokrotnie, podczas gdy słowo „metaverse” nie padło ani razu.

Unia stawia zarzuty: Meta i TikTok nie chroniły dzieci. Grozi im 6% kary z globalnych obrotów

Zuckerberg oprește finanțarea pentru programele LGBT, concentrându-se, în schimb, pe granturi pentru biologie și inteligență artificială Schimbarea vine la scurt timp după ce Meta, compania mamă a Facebook, a adoptat o poziție similară 👉 https://c.aparatorul.md/lmhsl 👈 #Biologie #ChanZuckerbergInitiative #CZI #DEI #Diversitate #EchitateșiIncluziune #Facebook #Granturi #InteligenţăArtificială #Meta

So, all the folks that have been happily lending their scientific credibility to #czi by trying to play nice with them, how are you feeling about it now?

Will some of you grow a spine? Or just remove any hints to diversity, equity and inclusion from your #openscience programs in the hope to keep the cash flowing?

I’m dipping my toe back in the #Fediverse. I miss being able to eavesdrop on interesting people saying interesting things!

I struggled last time I tried with the lack of algorithm… so tips and tricks for finding curious conversations very welcome.

Here’s a picture of my gorgeous daughter and me at a recent conference (the #CZI #OpenScience meeting in Boston last month). Love that the photographer took some formal headshots and caught this beautiful moment too 🥰🥰

Did you know that one of the ways we can provide you with this amazing #OpenSource #Software is by receiving funding from organizations like #CZI ? Yes, we rely on community contributions but we have a number of core staff members and interns that also have bills to pay! We're so thankful to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative for their financial support over the years and we're in #Boston to cheer on the next generation of grantees. #CZIOpenSci

How can #AI help make research more #open? The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (#CZI) & #SloanFoundation want to know.

They're "interested in…tangible tools and applications for AI-enabled research practices, with an eye toward principles of #OpenScience...[& in] the use of AI in...the development and maintenance of #OpenSource research software."

Note that this is "a Request for Information (RFI), not a Request for Proposals or Funding Applications."

And I built on this in a 'for work' test: not only a 100+ CRAN packages thanks to my #r2u but also three more not-(yet)-on-CRAN packages as #runiverse ubuntu binaries all installing *instantaniously*. Switched to the 8gb codespace and was doing high-end #genomics using a #CZI #cellxgene.census demo in no time. Compelling. #rstats

@markkitti @HHMI Great to hear about the support for developing #imglib2 from #HHMI and #CZI! Tobias Pietzsch has made outstanding contributions to #imglib2 and #FijiSc in general, and now this support means he will have the means to continue to do so. Excellent!

#FIJI development is mainly concentrated at #LOCI based at #UWMadison.

#imglib2 development is currently focused at @HHMI Janelia where I work.

Tobias Pietzsch, an independent developer, is now picking up of #imglib2 and #BigDataViewer development with support from #CZI and @HHMI .

Excited to share that I'm new to the Advisory Board for #CZI's #OpenScience program!
