10 flies. 60 legs. Zero hand-labeled training poses. 🪰

SIESTA turns plain-English descriptions of fly body parts into AI labels, then trains SLEAP to follow the action.

Our new preprint is out. Give your clicking finger a break!

@AT0MS I mean, no human labels. The computer generates its own training labels.

@tararaam_ I have had some success with mice and am working more on this now. We are combining with appearance models so that even when the mice get jumbled up in a group, it can tell them apart afterwards.

Check out our new paper which describes large scale 3D simulations of M xanthus colonies. We recapitulate many features from experiments and learn some new things as well! https://t.co/rZBOb8U9Jd

[Joshua Shaevitz @shaevitz]

So happy to see this out. What a great collaboration!

[The Zia Lab @TheZiaLab]

Paper now out in PNAS! Our colloidal whole-cell simulations + in vivo 3D particle tracking reveal how macromolecular interactions and confinement determine dynamics/localization in E. coli. Congrats @AlpSunol & @dsvalverdem!  https://t.co/jk1UzowgwT

The Princeton Brass Band is off to the National Championships again, but we need your help! Running a world-class band, from music and instruments to rehearsal space and free concerts to our education and outreach, is not cheap. Please consider donating!

Interested in helping us making big things happen here at Princeton? The Office of the Dean for Research is looking to hire at a senior level in research development. This is a great opportunity to work with fantastic faculty to drive important projects! https://t.co/Y9GXJ0tLP6

[Moffitt Laboratory @MoffittLab]

So excited to announce our new method for multiplexed RNA imaging in bacterial cells: bacterial-MERFISH! A huge congratulations to the team of @AriSarfatis, Yuanyou Wang, and Nana Twumasi-Ankrah! Check out the following thread or our bioRxiv (https://t.co/qESwAKeWpO) 1/12

Excited to share my lab’s first preprint! We found that increasing DNA binding by type IV pili in an Acinetobacter pathogen can boost its natural transformation rates by ~100-fold, demonstrating that DNA binding is rate-limiting for natural transformation. https://t.co/yagYpLeV0w
