- Reposted by Rodrigo Fernandez-GonzalezWe are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.

- Reposted by Rodrigo Fernandez-GonzalezNo science or nature today. ICE just murdered another person in my home state, an ICU nurse working with vets & now they're trying to frame him for the action . All because ICE is angry & afraid of the 50000 Minnesotans who marched yesterday. If you're not calling Congress you're letting them down
- Reposted by Rodrigo Fernandez-GonzalezGetting asked about how academics can continue to do science & inspire trainees even in the midst of a continued (escalated) assault on science, reason, truth, & human rights. I don’t have great answers. I would love to hear from mentors about advice they’re giving to trainees/ colleagues.

- Reposted by Rodrigo Fernandez-Gonzalezv sad to hear Antonio García-Bellido's passing. his work on mitotic clones led to fundamental insights such as compartment boundaries, enabled post-embryonic analysis of lethals, and revealed autonomous vs non-autonomous effects of mutants. and founding father of Spanish DB and Drosophila schools.🪰
- The European Drosophila Society #flyEDS extends the condolences on the passing of Antonio García-Bellido, considered the founder of the Spanish school of #Drosophila genetics and an influential figure in developmental biology research worldwide. May he rest in peace.

- Reposted by Rodrigo Fernandez-GonzalezWe recently had the pleasure of chatting about the newly published MIFA guidelines, which aim to improve how we share AI-ready datasets for bioimage analysis. Huge thanks to Joshua Talks and @rodrigofg.bsky.social for sharing the user perspective — check out the interview below!
- AI has so much potential for interpreting biological images, and yet, annotated biological datasets needed to train AI tools remain scarce. If you generate microscopy data or develop AI tools to interpret it, check it these new guidelines: www.ebi.ac.uk/about/news/t... #bioimaging #microscopy 🧬🔬

- Reposted by Rodrigo Fernandez-GonzalezIt bears repeating that nearly the entire US enterprise in science and technology has been irreversibly gutted. This is shocking. All this loss has occurred without any real benefit to the average US citizen. Except we now have the biggest, best funded secret police force perhaps ever. Yay for us!
