Dear Colleagues,


One month to application deadline!


Being sensitive, yet realistic, to the current climate, we believe our
workshop will still be held at the end of July!


We are excited to be offering the first, of what promises to be annual, Big
Data, Big Problems light-sheet workshop, held at Princeton University,
Princeton, NJ, USA.  The course will run July 27-July 31, 2020.


Applications are due April 15, 2020.  Apply through the course web site at
BigDataBigProblems.com.

Multi-dimensional live and fixed microscope data can be collected in so
many ways, and the various solutions seem to grow almost daily.  There are
many courses that focus on general optical principals and the use of
conventional microscope platforms such as widefield fluorescence, confocal
and multiphoton imaging, but none that are specifically designed to
demystify rapidly evolving and increasingly prescient methods such as
light-sheet imaging.  Ultimately this is the goal of this course, what is
light-sheet microscopy in all its flavors, what can you do with it, how do
you choose between platforms and once you have a system or are proficient
with a device what do you do with the data?  This week long course brings
together experts in conventional optics, all aspects of light sheet
microscopy and image analysis to help you bring your light-sheet based
cellular, animal and large sample/cleared sample imaging to the next
level.  From the syllabus you will see that we start out with principals
and choices and then move into specific systems instructed by both academic
and industry faculty.  In fact, we have will have almost all the available
commercial solutions on site for you to use.  We will provide samples, but
equally you are welcome to use your own.   Our goal is that you will return
to your home institution fully capable to implement and use these truly
exciting new tools.

Hi folks,

Has anyone tried switching to remote group meetings or lab meetings?  I think it would be useful for people to know what others have tried, what works well, and what works not so well.  

Thanks!

Hi Tim,

I am totally new to all this, but my university has a site license for Zoom.

We've done a couple of lab meetings that way and it seems decent. It works through the browser, or as a standalone app (desktop or mobile). You can share screen or windows and ask questions of the presenter either verbally or through a chat pane.

Since we are about to close down our equipment entirely, I'm hoping to use it for more advanced stuff like consultations on image analysis. We shall see.

Hope this helps,
Theresa

Zoom works well ... we had set up (paid for) "Zoom room" setups in both
our research conference room and clinical meeting room (opposite ends of
JHU SOM campus). Useful to have one person 'at the console' in whatever
zoom room is the host.

We've been using Zoom in a collaborative lab meeting with colleagues in
New Mexico for many months - works fine.

Each zoom room has a generic 6-digit ID. Specific meetings can be added
with specific ID for just that meeting (i.e. weekly recurrent lab meeting).

Last week I attended a virtual mini-symposium by Agilent ("Cell
Analysis" portfolio) that had been changed from in person to online.
Zoom worked fine for me at home (free to end users). Only minor glitch
was one presenter had a poor voice-by-laptop (kept breaking up) - they
ended up silencing their laptop microphone and calling in to the meeting
phone number.

George

p.s. Zoom meetings can be saved to video file.

We have implemented Slack + Zoom, together with remote access to OMERO our
situation not that bad actually (productivity vise). We have a regular
morning "fika" (coffee) with the whole group on Zoom every day, and are
planning on holding the next journal club and group meeting through Zoom.
This has worked surprisingly well.

I find that so much of image analysis meetings involve opening files, playing with options, and drawing on paper, that I don't know how well this will work.  People need to see things on the screen and I don't see webex or zoom doing this for us, but we will certainly try!  Actually, we will try webex as the school has a license for it and prohibits our initiating zoom meetings because is is not secure.


I am calling in a a town hall today which is all voice.  I expect webex to work well for this.


However, I have a webex scheduled for today with a user who wants to image live cells at 4 degrees C.  We are going to discuss it, but I feel we need to say no until we have staff in the lab who can make this happen.  I just don't see how we can explain, by webex from home, the chambers (sample kits of Ibidi, Mattek, Greiner are on my desk at work), the home-made cooling apparatus needed with thin hose, peristaltic pump, ice bucket, etc., and then the options on the Zeiss for autofocus (free running from the touchpad or Focus Strategy window), and other pieces.  Also, how to assess condensation and prevent microscope damage.  Everything needs to be assembled and tested, but he wants to do an experiment on Friday with no staff in the lab!


As long as we don't have unrealistic expectations, these meeting tools can work.

        Hi folks,
   
        Has anyone tried switching to remote group meetings or lab meetings?  I think it would be useful for people to know what others have tried, what works well, and what works not so well.
   
        Thanks!

        I find that so much of image analysis meetings involve opening files, playing with options, and drawing on paper, that I don't know how well this will work.  People need to see things on the screen and I don't see webex or zoom doing this for us, but we will certainly try!  Actually, we will try webex as the school has a license for it and prohibits our initiating zoom meetings because is is not secure.
       
       
        I am calling in a a town hall today which is all voice.  I expect webex to work well for this.
       
       
        However, I have a webex scheduled for today with a user who wants to image live cells at 4 degrees C.  We are going to discuss it, but I feel we need to say no until we have staff in the lab who can make this happen.  I just don't see how we can explain, by webex from home, the chambers (sample kits of Ibidi, Mattek, Greiner are on my desk at work), the home-made cooling apparatus needed with thin hose, peristaltic pump, ice bucket, etc., and then the options on the Zeiss for autofocus (free running from the touchpad or Focus Strategy window), and other pieces.  Also, how to assess condensation and prevent microscope damage.  Everything needs to be assembled and tested, but he wants to do an experiment on Friday with no staff in the lab!
       
       
        As long as we don't have unrealistic expectations, these meeting tools can work.

        Hi Tim,
       
        I am totally new to all this, but my university has a site license for Zoom.
       
        We've done a couple of lab meetings that way and it seems decent. It works through the browser, or as a standalone app (desktop or mobile). You can share screen or windows and ask questions of the presenter either verbally or through a chat pane.
       
        Since we are about to close down our equipment entirely, I'm hoping to use it for more advanced stuff like consultations on image analysis. We shall see.

Zoom works well ... we had set up (paid for) "Zoom room" setups in both our research conference room and clinical meeting room (opposite ends of JHU SOM campus). Useful to have one person 'at the console' in whatever zoom room is the host.

We've been using Zoom in a collaborative lab meeting with colleagues in New Mexico for many months - works fine.

Each zoom room has a generic 6-digit ID. Specific meetings can be added with specific ID for just that meeting (i.e. weekly recurrent lab meeting).

Last week I attended a virtual mini-symposium by Agilent ("Cell Analysis" portfolio) that had been changed from in person to online. Zoom worked fine for me at home (free to end users). Only minor glitch was one presenter had a poor voice-by-laptop (kept breaking up) - they ended up silencing their laptop microphone and calling in to the meeting phone number.

George

p.s. Zoom meetings can be saved to video file.

Hi Michael,

I would tell your user that they need to either wait or agree to have you or your staff run the experiment for them. We have eliminated all new trainings and user assistance until the university reopens. If someone has an ESSENTIAL need (May graduation, grant report/deadline), then we can run the experiment for them. But, they (meaning the PI...not the student, tech or postdoc) must fill out a form requesting the service. While we want to make sure that our research community has the resources that they need for essential tasks, we are trying to balance that with our responsibility to the community at large. (Sometimes, that means helping people manage what is truly "essential".)

Hope this helps!

Terri

BTW: We use Webex and have had no problems with it...

Hi Tim,

I am totally new to all this, but my university has a site license for Zoom.

We've done a couple of lab meetings that way and it seems decent. It works through the browser, or as a standalone app (desktop or mobile). You can share screen or windows and ask questions of the presenter either verbally or through a chat pane.

Since we are about to close down our equipment entirely, I'm hoping to use it for more advanced stuff like consultations on image analysis. We shall see.

Hope this helps,
Theresa

Hi everyone,

I find Webex, GoToMeeting, and Zoom equally good, AND they allow you to take control of other users' screens. That way you don't get stuck in a "Click the circle button... no, the OTHER circle button... no go back to where you were... no before that..." narration loop.

If your university/institution doesn't have a subscription so that you can generate a meeting link for one of those, Google Hangouts is really great and only requires a Google account. The downside is you can't take control of others' screens. Same with Microsoft Teams, which is great if you are sharing the virtual space with others in the Office ecosystem.

If you're showing 3D renderings during image analysis consultations, you might want to remind people on the other end of your screen sharing sessions that the rendering/interactivity they see on their end is only as good as the meeting technology allows it to be. For you, rotating a volume in your software package might be fast and fluid, but for them it probably looks laggy and has compression artifacts. Turning off webcams helps with this as well.

Hi Michael,

I would tell your user that they need to either wait or agree to have you or your staff run the experiment for them. We have eliminated all new trainings and user assistance until the university reopens. If someone has an ESSENTIAL need (May graduation, grant report/deadline), then we can run the experiment for them. But, they (meaning the PI...not the student, tech or postdoc) must fill out a form requesting the service. While we want to make sure that our research community has the resources that they need for essential tasks, we are trying to balance that with our responsibility to the community at large. (Sometimes, that means helping people manage what is truly "essential".)

Hope this helps!

Terri

BTW: We use Webex and have had no problems with it...

I find that so much of image analysis meetings involve opening files, playing with options, and drawing on paper, that I don't know how well this will work.  People need to see things on the screen and I don't see webex or zoom doing this for us, but we will certainly try!  Actually, we will try webex as the school has a license for it and prohibits our initiating zoom meetings because is is not secure.


I am calling in a a town hall today which is all voice.  I expect webex to work well for this.


However, I have a webex scheduled for today with a user who wants to image live cells at 4 degrees C.  We are going to discuss it, but I feel we need to say no until we have staff in the lab who can make this happen.  I just don't see how we can explain, by webex from home, the chambers (sample kits of Ibidi, Mattek, Greiner are on my desk at work), the home-made cooling apparatus needed with thin hose, peristaltic pump, ice bucket, etc., and then the options on the Zeiss for autofocus (free running from the touchpad or Focus Strategy window), and other pieces.  Also, how to assess condensation and prevent microscope damage.  Everything needs to be assembled and tested, but he wants to do an experiment on Friday with no staff in the lab!


As long as we don't have unrealistic expectations, these meeting tools can work.

Hi Tim,

I am totally new to all this, but my university has a site license for Zoom.

We've done a couple of lab meetings that way and it seems decent. It works through the browser, or as a standalone app (desktop or mobile). You can share screen or windows and ask questions of the presenter either verbally or through a chat pane.

Since we are about to close down our equipment entirely, I'm hoping to use it for more advanced stuff like consultations on image analysis. We shall see.

Hope this helps,
Theresa

A general remark on the security of your data.
Whatever service one uses. If it is a US based service your data is only
"safe" in a technical manner. As these companies fall under the United
States regulation, there is nothing "safe". The very moment anything
touches an US based server is the very moment you no longer have a proof
that your data (voice, screen displays or transferred data of all kind)
is "safe". There is no such thing as data protection against (ab)use
through US federal bodies or agencies of whatever kind. That is the
unconvenient truth.

If one is fine with that, go for it.

My two cent

Best wishes Ralph

Hello Everyone,

I have found Zoom to be pretty good and relatively simple to use. You can download it for free if your institution doesn’t have a subscription. I am going to be using it to finish teaching my courses this spring. You need to make sure you and everyone to be included has good internet access. A webcam and microphone is idea but you can communicate via chat or cell/ landline(whatever that is…☺) also if necessary.

Best,
John

Hi everyone,

I find Webex, GoToMeeting, and Zoom equally good, AND they allow you to take control of other users' screens. That way you don't get stuck in a "Click the circle button... no, the OTHER circle button... no go back to where you were... no before that..." narration loop.

If your university/institution doesn't have a subscription so that you can generate a meeting link for one of those, Google Hangouts is really great and only requires a Google account. The downside is you can't take control of others' screens. Same with Microsoft Teams, which is great if you are sharing the virtual space with others in the Office ecosystem.

If you're showing 3D renderings during image analysis consultations, you might want to remind people on the other end of your screen sharing sessions that the rendering/interactivity they see on their end is only as good as the meeting technology allows it to be.

Hi folks,

Has anyone tried switching to remote group meetings or lab meetings? I think it would be useful for people to know what others have tried, what works well, and what works not so well.

Thanks!

Hi there

We have been using zoom quite a lot. Works very well for remote lectures. One needs to mute all them unmute the speaker to make sure one doesn't hear noise from the audience. The audience can raise their hands if they want to be unmuted.

For the best audience experience, it is important that the speaker uses a headset, not a laptop mic and speakers.

For meetings I find that things work best if each participant is in a separate physical room with their own laptop and headset. Having for example a few persons in one room and a few more a different locations doesn't work so well because those in the same room always end up speaking at the same time, forgetting the constrains of a remote meeting when people need to speak one by one. If be interested to hear if someone managed to get the situation described above to work well.

Med vänlig hälsning / Best regards

Sylvie

Hi folks,

Has anyone tried switching to remote group meetings or lab meetings?  I think it would be useful for people to know what others have tried, what works well, and what works not so well.

Thanks!

The University of Calgary has been using Zoom for most remote
meetings/events and it seems to be working well, at least for us. Hopefully
the internet infrastructure in your local area will be able to handle the
sudden surge in demand.
Stay connected!

Dear all,

We started HomeOffice quite some days ago and it works fine for me and the IMCF team. We are in the process of moving as much as possible online using zoom and it is working very well. We now have an online IMCF office thanks to zoom (a Zoom Chat), do all our teaching online, and are discussing more teaching options and topics. We also use Zoom, Skype, or whatever works for the user for troubleshooting and advice as long as there are still last users at the microscopes. However, I wonder what is going to happen if all US will go to HomeOffice together with Europe… Zoom servers might reach their limits…

For us, Zoom and Skype worked the best so far, there are also open source projects that can be used like Jitsi (https://jitsi.org/news/)…

Concerning the security you will never be sure who is listening to what but our local service is already completely out of bandwidth, so we do not have that many other options…

Best,
Oliver

Zoom works well ... we had set up (paid for) "Zoom room" setups in both
our research conference room and clinical meeting room (opposite ends of
JHU SOM campus). Useful to have one person 'at the console' in whatever
zoom room is the host.

We've been using Zoom in a collaborative lab meeting with colleagues in
New Mexico for many months - works fine.

Each zoom room has a generic 6-digit ID. Specific meetings can be added
with specific ID for just that meeting (i.e. weekly recurrent lab meeting).

Last week I attended a virtual mini-symposium by Agilent ("Cell Analysis"
portfolio) that had been changed from in person to online. Zoom worked fine
for me at home (free to end users). Only minor glitch was one presenter had
a poor voice-by-laptop (kept breaking up) - they ended up silencing their
laptop microphone and calling in to the meeting phone number.

p.s. Zoom meetings can be saved to video file.
