I've submitted my slides for my #LightningTalk at #TNC25
Don't believe everything you read in a #SAML assertion
Quite excited for it now 😎

The dollar sank to its lowest level in more than three years on Thursday
and the FTSE 100 closed at a record high as Donald Trump’s latest trade threats and the weakening economy appeared to bring forward interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.
Foreign exchange traders sold the dollar in favour of the yen and the euro,
which both climbed by about 1% against the US currency to leave it almost 10% down on its value against a basket of currencies since the beginning of the …

Semi-Automated Quality Assurance in Digital Pathology: Tile Classification Approach
Quality assurance is a critical but underexplored area in digital pathology, where even minor artifacts can have significant effects. Artifacts have been shown to negatively impact the performance of AI diagnostic models. In current practice, trained staff manually review digitized images prior to release of these slides to pathologists which are then used to render a diagnosis. Conventional image processing approaches, provide a foundation for detecting artifacts on digital pathology slides. H…

O.k. four more slides by Eduard Masana at the Leuven SEC about the 2026 Total #SolarEclipse in Spain, namely what the Comisión Nacional del Eclipse is preparing: see https://www.iaa.csic.es/page/comision-nacional-eclipse and https://eclipses.ign.es and https://eclipse-spain.es/index.php/en/ for relevant websites. And some Final Thoughts and Recommendations about the expected eclipse experience in Spain. 13/n

Anyone else constantly fighting Google Slides to save just ONE image? 😅 The screenshot struggle is real... or maybe even exporting to PowerPoint.
Check out this handy Chrome extension I found! 🙌
It adds a 'Download image' option right to your context menu (when you right-click on the image). So simple, so effective. ✨
Download full resolution JPGs, PNGs, etc directly.
I made a quick video showing how it works if you need this in your life:

And yet more Masana slides about the 2026 Total #SolarEclipse - which largely hits a sparsely populated region of Spain. Which has a lot to offer besides the eclipse, of course. Also a helpful matrix comparing the five zones of the eclipse in Spain. 12/n

Looking forward to presenting our experience with the Journal of Comments and Replications in Economics at the Replication Research Syposium in Münster this week https://nerdculture.de/@aufdroeseler/114495559181898768 .

Bei Power-Point-Presentationen sind die meisten Vortragenden noch immer nicht viel weiter gekommen. Gemessen an der Entfernung des am weitesten entfernten Zuhörers sind die Texte immer noch zu klein - unlesbar.
Frustrierend, dass man als TeilnehmerIn wohl am Smartphone die Session verfolgen muss, obwohl man live anwesend ist, um die Slides sehen und lesen zu können.

Four teaser slides from the amazing talk by Nicolas Lefaudeux at the #SolarEclipse conference about his vast - professional - experience in imaging and image processing applied to the solar corona: see https://hdr-astrophotography.com/solar-eclipses/ for his results in high resolution (and hopefully the highly instructive talk will become available as well eventually). 5/n

No more Spain for the next Total #SolarEclipse in 2028: SEC slides by Terry Cuttle and Jay Anderson about the Australian track and weather stats. 15/n

Tons of valuable information about the 2026 Total #SolarEclipse at the Belgian conference today, esp. about the preferred Spain: some slides by Jay Anderson - see https://eclipsophile.com/tse2026/ for his full analysis - and Eduard Masana. 10/n

PixCell: A generative foundation model for digital histopathology images
The digitization of histology slides has revolutionized pathology, providing massive datasets for cancer diagnosis and research. Contrastive self-supervised and vision-language models have been shown to effectively mine large pathology datasets to learn discriminative representations. On the other hand, generative models, capable of synthesizing realistic and diverse images, present a compelling solution to address unique problems in pathology that involve synthesizing images; overcoming annota…

So, I gave my second @… talk today.
Does anybody know why the items move down a little on a series of slides using #pause ?

The final slides from the #NASA disaster press conference by the Planetary Society. The briefing is being recorded; at https://www.planetary.org/articles/nasa-2026-budget-proposal-in-charts the various charts are already up. 3/3

Yesterday I gave my first talk with slides in @… and it was good fun.
Except that now most people want to talk about typst and not the math.
I wrote up some thoughts:
