💬 When do data management problems start?

Usually at the beginning, not the end.

A Data Management Plan (DMP) helps ensure data are collected, organized, and documented for future reuse.

🔬 Last week, 3S PPBI trainers contributed to the first FOCUS4R workshop, sharing expertise in electron microscopy, imaging flow cytometry, AFM, microCT, high-content & advanced light microscopy.

🌟 Meet Andreia Silva!

Her PhD research at @i3S_UPorto uses live imaging microscopy to study how new treatments can prevent triple-negative breast cancer cells from invading and spreading. 🔬✨

Making data FAIR sounds simple: 🔍 Findable 🔓 Accessible 🔗 Interoperable ♻️ Reusable

But what actually makes data FAIR in practice?

In this PPBI series, we'll break down each principle using real-world imaging research examples.

🔬PPBI at the Euro-BioImaging All Hands Nodes Meeting 2026 in Turku! 🇫🇮

Great to reconnect, share PPBI’s work, and exchange ideas with Nodes across Europe. 🌍

📌 We also presented our poster: “Better Microscopy for Better Science” 🔬

Data exists. So why can’t we reuse it? 🤔Without context, descriptions or clarity, “useful” data may not be useful at all.

That’s the #FAIR data challenge: making data findable, understandable & reusable.

💬 Ever been stuck trying to reuse data? Follow along!

@EuroBioImaging

[PPBI-Portuguese Platform of BioImaging @PPBioImaging]

Imaging generates huge amounts of research data daily, but data alone isn't enough. Over time, it can lose context and reusability, even for its creators.

We are launching soon: "A FAIR Data Journey"!
