@freemo hey! Not sure what’s been going on, but hope you’re ok. Really appreciate everything you do here! Sending lots of positivity your way, make sure you look after yourself! Folly is offering a hug 🐶
@KemiMDRad Hi there! I'm not a radiologist but before my PhD I qualified as a diagnostic radiographer. I will soon be starting a job in medical imaging reserach, so I'm keen to make connections with people from the world of radiography/radiology :-)
@ArtBySteve these are amazing! Such talent! 🤩
Whilst I’m hard at work, Folly is also taking her job as head of security very seriously, keeping a careful eye out the window and ensuring any passing dog walkers, delivery drivers or neighbours are properly scared away 🐶 #dogsofmastodon #dogs #jackrussell
@freemo Ha! Don’t worry, I won’t spoil it, although I do recommend maybe waiting for the movie version 🤔😆
Bit of light reading for a Sunday 🤔 Looking at various tools and #machinelearning methods for identifying cellular senescence in an attempt to save the lab team a lot of time carrying out manual cell counts 😬 #microscopy #imaging #deeplearning #science #cellbiology

I'll be teaching an one-line 
Bioconductor for Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics course on the 27 - 29 March 2023:

If you want to learn on your own, all the software and the material is openly available at:
@SherlockpHolmes @vcalhoun hi! Thanks for this! I will certainly take a look 😀
@The_Colbobs Hi! Great to meet you, thanks for the links! 😁 I’ll try and get round to adding a few more myself over the weekend!

Hello folks! 👋 I am Hans, a Machine Learning Scientist 👨🔬 at a (sadly still stealth) startup, working remote from The Netherlands (we're actively #hiring!). I'm also a PhD candidate in computation pathology, predicting prognosis for people with prostate cancer. See this repo for my work on enabling CNNs to be trained with gigapixel images: https://github.com/DIAGNijmegen/pathology-streaming-pipeline

My #introduction… I’m a mom, a nurse, a scientist. I like all things science & research and I want a safe place to learn & engage.
I like learning about what makes tiny lungs strong & healthy. I call this Pulmonary Resilience and I want to help babies born too soon. 'neotwitter' is a great place but that platform is imploding & too noisy so I'm hoping to find folks here!

@PetraPhoenix as is your little girl! Gotta love these funny tiny dogs! 🤩

@Scottroby72 haha yes I can imagine! I’m in south west England, we rarely get snow like that and when we do everything grinds to a halt and people go crazy! Then a couple days later it’s all gone again! 😆

@Scottroby72 that looks amazing 🤩 I’m so jealous, would love to have some snow like that!

Humanity have successfully launched #ArtemisI, marking the dawn of a new space age. It’s the first step in our grand ambitions for human spaceflight: Future #Artemis missions will put humans back on the #Moon to establish a moon base and eventually journey to #Mars.
