Playing with SAM2. They say the mark of good character design is that they're immediately recognisable even in silhouette.

I've done it again. Registering for a webinar on the other side of the world that starts in the middle of the night assuming I'd be able to stay up for it. One day I'll learn.

Every time I submit a pull request (even when I'm technically a co-developer)

I propose a free text box on the census. "What else do you think the government should know about you?" Would be a fascinating dataset that would keep researchers busy for decades.

I've been toying with giving a local LLM the ability to run functions. Sometimes it just refuses to do it, but says it's doing it. Until I said please, then it ran. If this turns out to be consistent behavior.... I'm okay with it

Look up error I'm getting. Find solution: "I had that happen with pip install, installed with conda and it all worked". Install with conda, new error, look it up. Solution "I had that happen with conda, installed with pip and it fixed the issue" Time to go do something else.

This week, the WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) Centre for Dynamic Imaging acquired an image that pushed our total cumulative data since our inception over the 3 petabyte milestone. I feel like I should give the user a prize or commemorate this in some way - open to ideas.

Gut Analysis Toolbox (GAT) is out on J Cell Science. A special moment as its my first senior author paper. Thanks to all the coauthors! especially Dan Poole Dr Simona Carbone A/Prof Nik Veldhuis for their support & encouragement.

"if you hate elon so much then why are you still here" BECAUSE I WAS HERE FIRST. WHY SHOULD I LEAVE. HE'S THE ONE WHO SUCKS

Returning after almost 2 weeks leave - managed to almost entirely disconnect and relax with family. Current mood. #b3d

There's a difference between a robot and a puppet right?

We CT scanned three different types of wine cork. The world of wine packaging is very sophisticated, aiming to balance tactile consumer experience against technical winemaking considerations. Click into the 🧵to see what we saw in the scans…

Question for any microscopy core facility types: do you do automated data clearing off instrument computers? Considering implementing it, what could possibly go wrong?

I'm heading to Europe in three days. Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden. I've been so busy with work and family stuff that I have given it almost no thought. Help.

Very grateful for the invitation to speak and also for the opportunity to engage in discussions about the career pathways of core facility scientists and how to measure the real impact of what we do!

#GloBIAS2024 living up to expectations. Half a day in and already many productive discussions. Session that I was in was not recorded which is a shame as I couldn't take notes, but probably for the best to encourage full and frank exchange of ideas

Seems like there's some momentum for abandoning the bird 🐦 to bluer skies. I encourage all to follow.

Ping anyone else at #GloBIAS2024. You can find me over there.
