We demonstrate that SmartEM achieves up to a ~7-fold acceleration of image acquisition time for connectomic samples using a commercial single-beam SEM in samples from nematodes, mice, and the human brain.

Welcome to our new PhD student, Alexandra Irger! She earned her BSc at TU Wien and her MSc at @KAUST. Her research develops visualization methods combining rendering, simulation, and interaction to explore complex data, now focusing on challenges in biology and medicine.
Welcome to our new PhD student, Ella Hugie! She earned her BSc from @UofT, where she studied how user characteristics affect data visualization comprehension. She’ll continue in HCI, focusing on visualization and UX. We’re thrilled to have you!

This summer, I’m interning at @E11BIO in SF as an ML fellow! We'll further push my previous work on automated connectome proofreading. Let’s have coffee and chat about AI & vis for bio/neuro if you're in the area! Collab w/ @srinituraga 🧠 #connectomics #AI @Convergent_FROs

If you're an undergrad with strong programming skills, and would like to work on LLMs + Human Memory at @Harvard, drop me a message.
Check out cool new work led by our PhD student @jakobtroidl in collaboration with @HHMIJanelia. #connectomics #AI
📢Our latest preprint shows that learning global neuron shapes can help to automatically proofread connectomes and predict neuron types. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Work done in collaboration with @HHMIJanelia, @srinituraga & @HarvardVCG #connectomics #AI 🧵(1/n)

Very nice. Congrats @stardazed0 and team 👏
This year is the 10th anniversary of the Google Research’s Connectomics team! In celebration, today with @MCB_Harvard we’re publishing a 1.4 petabyte human brain connectome with 57k cells and 150M synapses in @ScienceMagazine → goo.gle/4a8SpWT & sites.research.google/neural…

I am feeling very happy that I could contribute to this massive research study. We added community-based proofreading with CAVE to this dataset. Everyone can edit/update the AI-generated automated segmentation. ➡️bit.ly/4dAPxoB @sdorkenw @fcollman JinhanChoi
