Paper #2 out of 5 is out! A short but significant update to our original PSSR. Key updates are increased 1) accessibility via a new napari plugin alongside far improved documentation, and 2) performance via improved crappifier and loss functions biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Just as importantly, we now have a far improved codebase, documentation, and a snazzy napari plugin to go along with it. Check it all out here: github.com/ucsdmanorlab/P…

napari These developments are all thanks to the brilliant @HaydenIsGaming putting in the hard work of debugging outdated code, updating the crappifiers and loss functions, and just blowing everyone's mind with his precision. Believe it or not, Hayden just finished high school!!! 🤯🤯🤯

Nice way to kick off 2025! Super proud of this work that Hayden Stites started when he was in high school! Many thanks to CZI Science for funding our efforts to democratize access to cutting-edge imaging tools ❤️ bmcmethods.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

I finally had the pleasure of meeting the 1st author of this now accepted manuscript (link below)! The inestimable Hayden Cooper Stites was just accepted as an undergrad (🤯🤯🤯) to UC San Diego and came to visit our lab for a day. A truly special human & and honor to work with him!

It’s been a long week but meeting this group yesterday turned things around. The meritocracy fellowship is really awesome when you think about it: you recruit the best and brightest HS students that are fully aligned with your values and empower them. Show them the ropes and
