@ubcmsl @CSMB_SCBM @GairdnerAwards @a_scientoonist just saw this & recognized your artwork!!

[Huveneers Lab @Huveneers_Lab]

Junction Mapper is a novel computer vision tool to decipher cell-cell contact phenotypes. https://t.co/1KqbkG1LwR

Open access and semi automated.

Developed by Braga lab, and we validated it for endothelial junction properties too. I highly recommend it!

Want to learn about how policy informs #science in Canada? Interested in meeting ppl working in science-policy & learning about opportunities for scientists outside the lab? I had the pleasure of participating in SOLT N & enjoyed. Applications due Feb 5. https://t.co/v3Puy9jEMD

As organoids and organs-on-chips become used more widely, researchers are beginning to address more-sophisticated questions. https://t.co/5nvSKmjBGe

[Juan Melero-Martin @MeleroMartinLab]

Check out this "Consensus guidelines for the use and interpretation of angiogenesis assays" just published in Angiogenesis. This should be useful. Awesome list of authors!
