@news.abc.net.auReposted by @centriolelab.bsky.socialWinner of Nikon's Small World In Motion competition was AI generated
@centriolelab.bsky.socialThat looks really great! Congratulations! This will be our weekend reading :)
@ziyannwang.bsky.socialReposted by @centriolelab.bsky.social1/4 Following our 2023 ELI-TriScope work (@NatMethods), we’ve focused on the in situ architectures of native centrosomes & basal bodies (BBs).
@cilialab.bsky.socialReposted by @centriolelab.bsky.socialNikon just announced it has withdrawn first place in this year’s #SWiM after finding winning video did not comply with its generative AI rules.

Letter still open until Monday- this is a starting point to engage & discuss how AI is transforming microscopy 🔬
@sophiemartinlab.bsky.socialReposted by @centriolelab.bsky.socialHappy to share our latest work showing that fungal cell fusion not only requires local cell wall digestion but also inhibition of cell wall repair!
PAK-family kinases promote cell fusion irreversibility by preventing cell-wall repair

@nobelprize.orgReposted by @centriolelab.bsky.socialPeter Hegemann and Georg Nagel – awarded the 2026 medicine prize – discovered a remarkable protein, channelrhodopsin, in a single-celled alga. Hegemann wondered how Chlamydomonas, a single-celled alga, is able to swim towards a light source.
@manondemulder.bsky.socialReposted by @centriolelab.bsky.socialIf you’ve always been curious about how algae fix carbon, @phaips.vd.st, @cellarchlab.com and I have put together the quickest route into pyrenoids. And if you don’t feel like reading at all, we have an accompanying poster
@bjgreber.bsky.socialReposted by @centriolelab.bsky.socialStrikingly, @claudioalfieri.bsky.social and his team demonstrate that using cryo-tides, they can obtain high-resolution structures of APC/C, which otherwise requires carbon support.

@melaniedwhite.bsky.socialReposted by @centriolelab.bsky.socialI spoke with @nature.com about the Nikon Small World controversy. As AI becomes part of scientific imaging, we need greater transparency about what was measured, inferred or generated. It's not about excluding AI. It’s about preserving trust in scientific evidence.

@centriolelab.bsky.socialCan the truck fly now???
@cilialab.bsky.socialReposted by @centriolelab.bsky.socialI’m wondering microscopy peeps whether it is time for an open letter to @healthcare.nikon.com head office about this #GenerativeAI creation- @reitergroup.bsky.social @christlet.bsky.social @simoncleary.bsky.social and community? (It’s blocked more tags sorry folks…)
@centriolelab.bsky.socialNo response from Nikon so far… The member of the judging panel I contacted was also very concerned and reached out to Nikon directly. I don’t know whether he has received a response either.
