Nice little article on our Nergal #CitizenScience game in The Microbiologist: https://www.the-microbiologist.com/careers/nergal-science-communication-and-citizen-science-through-a-digital-game/5375.article

My campaign on Instagram and Facebook for a migration to the Fediverse. Funnily enough, it brought a lot of new friends from the Fediverse itself.

Mitä eroa on Vihreillä ja Vasemmistoliitolla kuntavaaleissa Helsingissä? Latasin kaikki Vihreiden ja Vasemmistoliiton ehdokkaiden vastaukset Ylen vaalikoneesta ja piirsin tällaisen kuvan. Blogissa myös nostoja ehdokkaiden perusteluista pariin kysymykseen! Täällä: https://blog.jnalanko.net/?p=687 #kuntavaalit #vasemmistoliitto #vihreät #politiikka

Seeking new players for Nergal!

Each 5 minute game generates data for epidemiology and public health research, and new player data is particularly useful, so please spread far and wide 💚

There is also a 'night mode' for those with little or no sight, where it can be played through sound alone.

I wanted a distraction from the news so I made this video, of some #Drosophila neurons with interesting morphologies: the mushroom body output neurons (MBONs). I used reconstructions from the FlyWire data set, and rendered with #Blender3D driven by neuVid.

An imaging system with an ultra-wide field of view allows scientists to track millions of cells at once in large 3D tissues and embryos.

Arthur's seat in Edinburgh.

Effect looks like the hill is gradually rising like a cake or souffle in an oven.

Done by interpolating between two versions of a DSM, one which uses a wide-radius guassian blur and the original.

Some areas rise over time, and others sink.

Displacement map of the moon by #nasa to have fun rendering your own #3D model of the moon. Great that is (still) freely available.

Hyviä uutisia! Järkkää.fi eli Mobilizon-pohjainen tapahtumailmottautumispalvelu tukee nyt sähköpostien lähettämistä. Taikuutena on että Mobilizon on osa fediversumia, eli täällä voi seurailla käyttäjiä ja organisatioita jotka tuolla ilmottaa tapahtumista.

Nyt toivoisin että porukka testisi sitä, järkkää jotkut kissanristiäiset ja ilmottaa siitä järkkää.fi:ssä facebookin sijaan niin saadaan Metan valtaa vähennettyä siltäkin osalta.

Ja toinen toive, sinne kaipaisi vähän brändäystä eli joku graafikko haluaisi tehdä Järkkää.fi -logon niin sellanen kelpaisi. Saan itsekin gimpattua jotain mutta joku oikeasti hieno kelpaisi.

Kiitos @sepponet mielenkiintoisten postausten jakamisesta bluesky-tileiltä käyttäen Bridgy-fedia 👍 😀

Good news! #3Dprinted #OpenSource microscope & lenses can facilitate clinical diagnostics in remote/poor places and ease access to microscopy to everyone.

The full paper is here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.12.16.628684v1.full.pdf.
The microscope chasis was from #OpenFlexure project: https://openflexure.org
The link to the stl files to print the lenses is: https://pureportal.strath.ac.uk/files/250315808/PURE_data.zip

Now I have to look for a place to try this in Helsinki, maybe at #hacklabfi https://helsinki.hacklab.fi?

Hello @sepponet followers, it seems that Seppo is going to be more active at Bluesky but fortunately has bridged his account here (Mastodon) @sepponet.bsky.social. If you like his work you can keep following.
#bridgyfed #bluesky

Testing the bridging to Bluesky.
If you read this over there, please consider following the @ap.brid.gy account on Bluesky if you want to be discoverable from Mastodon 😀

Hello! We're looking for a few folks to test a new citizen science game we're building, probably from Friday onwards.

It would mean spending about 10 mins playing, and then letting us know if anything breaks or is confusing (we're expecting both to happen, this is the first test).

Just testing the 'day' mode this time for fully sighted folks, not the high contrast or sound only versions - those will come soon.

If you fancy that, let us know 🙏
