It has been lovely being back in Glasgow this week, giving a keynote talk at the Glasgow Computational Biology conference & an invited seminar at @uofgsii.bsky.social in the Hogwarts building 🏰(thank you @liam-rooney.bsky.social) -both such vibrant research communities & highly enjoyable discussions
After 10 packed days of optical microscopy theory & practicals, #SOMC25 is over!
🌍 24 students from around the world
🧑🏫 19 internationally renowned lecturers
🧑🔧 16 supportive sponsors
🔬 14 hands-on advanced practical sessions
🏆 4 poster & image prizes
🪼 1 field trip to collect marine specimens
Our final session at #SOMC25 was a practical workshop on 3D printed lenses - learning how to rapidly fabricate small lenses and spin coat large lenses for optical instrumentation.
Our morning lecture at Day 9 of #SOMC25 is a double act on Raman imaging delivered by @karenfaulds.bsky.social and Will Tipping from @unistrathclyde.bsky.social.
Our penultimate lecture on the final day of #SOMC25 is on developments and applications of Mesoscale Imaging from @gailmcconnell.bsky.social (@sipbs.bsky.social @unistrathclyde.bsky.social).
Thank you so much to all of the great students, lecturers, demonstrators, and supportive vendors/sponsors - we wouldn’t have a course without you!
And thank you to fellow organisers @shannanfoylan.bsky.social, @gailmcconnell.bsky.social and Brad Amos!
Our final lecture on Day 10 of #SOMC25 is on computational microscopy and ML/AI imaging/analysis approaches, delivered by @giudica.bsky.social (@strathbiomedeng.bsky.social).
Grateful for the chance to speak on computational microscopy and ML/AI in imaging. Thanks for having me! #SOMC25 #Microscopy #AI
🆕 | @uofgsii.bsky.social's Dr @liam-rooney.bsky.social recently co-organised the UK’s largest and most comprehensive light microscopy training programme, SOMC 2025, bringing together experts and students from around the world for an advanced upskilling course.

Great first week at #SOMC25, learning microscopy basics through lectures and practicals. We spent today collecting samples on the Isle of Cumbrae ready for week 2!
