Do images tell the truth?
In #science #objectivity and truth in #images are key. Today, #AI in #microscopy is causing some debates: does it depict reality or hallucinates?
Believe it or not, these discussions are not new, but ongoing since scientists started to use drawings for #SciComm
I wrote a perspective for the @J_Cell_Sci XMAS edition:

@helenajambor @J_Cell_Sci This is great! These are things my postdoc advisor (now my permanent boss) has drilled into me. I shared your nature methods checklist paper with her and she wants me to do a journal club on it.
@Drosmel @J_Cell_Sci oh that sounds lovely! Enjoy the read and if any questions are open I am happy to reply to your lab!
