I'm in awe of Eh!woza and the amazing students they work with 🤩 Was fun to be a part of this celebration, thanks for including me and Africa Microscopy Initiative !
We are excited to announce #IALSJanelia 2024! Attendees will image across scales (single molecules to whole organisms) on commercial and HHMI | Janelia-developed microscopes while learning experimental design and image analysis. Apply by Feb 15, 2024: aicjanelia.org/imagingacrossl…
You might have already heard by now about Mai Rahmoon’s talk about how ABIC, Imaging Africa & HHMI | Janelia had huge impacts in her career but we were also equally excited to have Sunil Kumar with us both talk about and show us about the OpenScopes initiative.
A great interview with some exciting news! i4All will provide fantastic opportunities for researchers from LMICs! Congratulations Global BioImaging!
Mai Atef Rahmoon et al. walk us through the image analysis possibilities that lie ahead of the African research community and how we can get there by working together. This is part of a larger image analysis Focus issue by Nature Methods --> rdcu.be/dgAYN #bioimaging
I've been waiting for this tweet since 2020. Immensely excited about this call-for-proposal from the Africa Microscopy Initiative Imaging Centre. Open to African scientists with full cost coverage. AIC at Janelia will help host proposal-writing workshops and clinics. Please retweet!
📢 The first call for the AMI Visiting Researchers Program is open! We invite researchers from Africa to apply for free access to the AMI Imaging Centre’s microscopes and lab facilities 🔬🌍. Click for more info and to apply: center.microscopy.africa/open-call. 🗓️ Deadline is 29 May 2023 💥
The Africa Microscopy Initiative (AMI) Imaging Centre, housed in the IDM, aims to increase awareness & the use of imaging technology for African life sciences researchers through open access to the best microscopes & image analysis expertise. Read more in Nature Africa: go.nature.com/3K2D9BF.
What do foundations take into consideration when providing funding and where will Africa Microscopy Initiative be in a few years🔬? #EuroBioImaging Director General John Eriksson sits down with Christopher Karp from the Gates Foundation to discuss.
Enjoy 📺!
