Ah… Shakespeare and Chlamy. The finer things!

Thank you for organizing! It was great to meet the swiss cryo-ET community and hear about all the exciting science happening here :)

Great success for the 2nd edition of the Young Swiss Tomo Meeting in Bern 🔬, co-organized with the DCI, and @leonieanton.bsky.social, Elsa Bauda, @zanettakechagia.bsky.social and Agnes Moe who's joining the team for the next edition. Thanks to @dectris.bsky.social and @thermofishersci.bsky.social ..

And then those purple "mitos" --watch how the hallucination drifts during the movie. Plus, mitos aren't packed at that extreme density in an actin-free central zone but excluded from the apical region of the cells. The AI learned the style of immunofluorescence but not scale or cellular context. 2/2

And the red? The AI is trying to mimmic the style of an actin stain delineating the boundaries between many cells in an epithelial layer. But it got the scale completely off when combining this with the monster cilia 🦕. 1/2 🧪

We absolutely can tell which, and it’s not even close. See the comments in the thread.

Of course @centriolelab.bsky.social was just demonstrating the scary power of AI to hallucinate data. But as for that Nikon competition winner… yeah that seems quite deliberate to me. And it worked 👀

Well no, I understand that this was pure hallucination of @centriolelab.bsky.social asking ChatGPT to make the cilia in their U-ExM image beat. Scary 😱

The future of cilia biology his here!! 🤣. Yeah very scary— this Nikon contest hoax was easy to spot, but someday soon (ok probably already), it will be very difficult to determine what scientific data has been hallucinated 🤖🧪

Really wonderful! Lab retreats are so important for building a supportive and creative scientific culture 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬. I hope the bean counters in university finance offices don’t forget this. Such events pay for themselves 100 times over in sparking inspiration💡 and collaboration 🤗

11/13 ophthalmologists recommend this lab 👍
