Incredible illustrations from Dr Makayla Miranda Lewis from our Biomedical Citizen Science Symposium 😍
Attention #coronavirus researchers! If you have a research project that would benefit from thousands of volunteers helping to analyse your data, please get in touch with us here, or via [email protected]. #COVID19 #CitizenScience
🚨📢 NEW PROJECT ALERT KLAXON!!!! 📢🚨 The Etchaverse continues to grow! Check out our latest #CitizenScience release on The Zooniverse "Etch a Cell VR" Data from the @EM_STP team The Francis Crick Institute, in collaboration with @LabParton zooniverse.org/projects/h-spi…
🔬 🦠 Etch a cell, the citizen science project from Helen Spiers and our @EM_STP team has a new project 🎉 Have a go at spotting and tracing the endoplasmic reticulum in images of cells taken on our electron microscopes (zero prior knowledge needed!) zooniverse.org/projects/h-spi…
🚨 Save the date! 🗓️ 🚨 The second The Francis Crick Institute #BioImageAnalysis Symposium will be 22-23rd November 2021, as a fully virtual event once again crick.ac.uk/whats-on/crick… #CBIAS2021

"Become a dangerous diseases hunter by tracing cell structures online" Helen Spiers spoke to @layallivs from New Scientist about #CitizenScience for #BioImageAnalysis with #EtchACell [Requires subscription] newscientist.com/article/mg2493…
The #EtchACell paper is now out in Traffic Journal 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 (see tweetorial from the preprint below for the tl;dr!) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/tr…
Novel citizen science project (via The Zooniverse), Etch a Cell, has enabled Deep learning approach for automatic segmentation of nuclear envelope of #HeLa cell (doi.org/10.1111/tra.12…). Raw data on #EMPIAR (empire.org/10094). #machineLearning #segmentation #volumeEM
Our latest foray into #DeepLearning for #BioimageAnalysis - this time instance segmentation of mitochondria for the #MitoEM grand challenge at #ISBI. Another fruitful collaboration with The Francis Crick Institute's Scientific Computing STP! Helen Spiers Emy St-pierre
Job Alert: The Zooniverse / AdlerPlanet is hiring a designer! Come help us build and improve our platform for people-powered research. Check out details and apply here: bit.ly/Zooniverse-des…
Are you… 🔹 a PhD student or postdoc? 🔹 working in data or biomedical science? 🔹 interested in entrepreneurship? We’re teaming up with The Alan Turing Institute, Wellcome Sanger Institute and Entrepreneurs First to host two free virtual sessions this July. Take a look ➡️bit.ly/dxbcrick
Visual proteomics lets researchers see how proteins move in cells – but it can need huge amounts of money and expertise. A new Biohub grant will help @EM_STP, Ricardo Henriques and Imperial College London’s Paul French develop a more accessible version 🔬🌍 🔗 ow.ly/4XCf50FcHku
We’re going to be sharing our research with even more people online and in person, thanks to a generous new donation from longtime Cancer Research UK supporter Dangoor Education! 💻🤳🖱️ crick.ac.uk/news/2021-06-1…
See chrislintott talking to Peter O'Toole about all sorts of things, including our Etch a cell #CitizenScience project on The Zooniverse The Francis Crick Institute @EM_STP Helen Spiers
