- OpenClaw AI chatbots are running amok — these scientists are listening in www.nature.com/articles/d41...
- I just passed the Life in the UK test! Now I can forget everything 😊 (Jane Seymour who?)
- Just read the new CellSAM paper, a tool for cell segmentation across diverse imaging modalities, no retraining needed. Looking forward to trying it in our lab. 🔬 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Make sure to follow our department’s brand-new Bluesky account! Exciting updates coming soon. @biomedeng-strath.bsky.social
- When we physicists need a manual just to look like socially functional humans at conferences 😂 apparently there’s an article for that #Networking101 #LifeofSheldon doi.org/10.1088/2058... via @ioppublishing.bsky.social
- Why the world must wake up to China’s science leadership www.nature.com/articles/d41...
- Had a great time at the SIPTA Forum in Huairou Science City, Beijing, together with colleagues from Imperial College, Tsinghua University, Peking University, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I was also fortunate to visit collaborators on the Tsinghua campus and at the Institute of Automation.
- Reposted by Giuseppe Di Caprio🚨Only 2 more weeks to apply for our fully-funded PhD position @york.ac.uk! Want to pioneer a blood test for dementia, detect single molecules & spend time in industry with @ei-science.bsky.social?! Apply by 4th Dec: tinyurl.com/yt36p9tx It doesn't get any more EXCITING! 🔬🩸🧪
- I’m pleased to share that I’ve been awarded support from the Royal Society–CNR International Exchanges scheme for a project with colleagues in Italy. We’ll combine advanced optical imaging and AI to better understand how cancer cells store fats using label-free 3D microscopy.

- A beautiful piece of work from @ruixuan3.bsky.social and @supgokul.bsky.social presenting a light-based slicing method using a photosensitive hydrogel to image large biological samples layer by layer, preserving fine structure for full 3D reconstructions.
- We’re excited to welcome Grant McClure, John Selkirk, Ben Polwart, and Robert Barry, who are undertaking their 5th-year Industrial Partnership Project on the OpenFlexure Microscope, an open-source, 3D-printed laboratory microscope designed to make high-quality microscopy accessible worldwide.
- Say Hi to Nicola👋🏻🔬, our shiny new Nikon microscope. Already the most popular member of the lab... Sorry everyone else 😅

- A bit of a terroristic view. Synthetic data isn’t all bad, it has been shown to improve classification algorithms. P.S. We’ve got a hopefully interesting contribution to this field coming shortly. 📝 Stay tuned. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Big congrats to Lewis @lemackz.bsky.social and Pablo! @unistrathclyde.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/news/2547411...

- We just got a new toy 🔬🤓
- So touched by this gift from our summer intern Grant McClure. Naturally, we ended up discussing how the architecture isn't quite correct... People do love feedback on their gifts, don't they 😅 #lifeofsheldon
- This sounds like a good idea: Instead of students submitting only a final PDF of their dissertation, have them submit with full version history. Makes AI use easier to spot, and you get to see their actual writing process. Could be a game‑changer for assessment. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
- Grateful for the chance to speak on computational microscopy and ML/AI in imaging. Thanks for having me! #SOMC25 #Microscopy #AI
- Our final lecture on Day 10 of #SOMC25 is on computational microscopy and ML/AI imaging/analysis approaches, delivered by @giudica.bsky.social (@strathbiomedeng.bsky.social).
- One of the MEng students in the group opened his project slides with an AI-generated image of me trying to break a CNN and honestly, it’s kind of perfect 🥹😂 So proud (and already slightly roasted).
- New review paper out! Proud to co-author with @optophysakhil.bsky.social and @gailmcconnell.bsky.social a deep dive into Fourier Ptychographic Microscopy (FPM), from physics to cutting-edge algorithms & medical imaging applications. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....
- Seriously need to know what magical places you all travel to have "limited email access".

- You know when your deconvolution assumes the PSF is uniform, but your microscope knows better? Ring Deconvolution Microscopy says: embrace the symmetry. #microscopy #computationalimaging #deeplearning www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- AI and X-ray tech are revealing secrets from ancient Herculaneum scrolls, carbonized in Vesuvius's eruption. Recent scans show visible ink, promising new insights into lost Roman texts.

- Welcome Shan Jacob to our lab! He’s the recipient of the prestigious Diamond Jubilee PhD Scholarship at Strathclyde. His research will focus on developing an AI-integrated device for real-time blood cell imaging, classifying cells, assessing RBC deformability, and providing rapid health insights.
- First successful attempt at photolithography in our new departmental fabrication facility! Features range from 5 to 25 microns. The wafer is dirty, patchy, and imperfect, but it worked! I think I’ve earned the right to go home now. 😅
- Leaving the US after 11 years of research appointments was one of the best decisions of my life, both personally and professionally. It wasn’t easy, and I know it’s not the right choice for everyone, but for me, it brought new opportunities and balance. If you’re considering it, you’re not alone.
- Out of these six images, one row consists of real microscope images, while the other row features ML-generated synthetic images. Can you guess which is which?

- Hari Shroff's new paper demonstrates the use of deep learning to correct aberrations when imaging deeper into volumes, eliminating the need for adaptive optics. Looking forward to exploring its potential. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- A lovely gathering indeed 🙂
- Someone should make a version in POLAR coordinates. 🐻❄️
- Midday in December, Glasgow, where the sun stays low, casting long shadows in the northern winter light.
- Nothing says prestigious invitation like "Prof. Insert Name Here".
