With #USCAP2023 approaching, I have been conversing with @MSKPathology fellows about how to make the most of the meeting

Thought I would share some ideas here (thread🧵):

1. Large professional mtgs can be overwhelming & IMO, require a strategy in order to maximize gains
👇🏻 1/ Image
2. Select sessions to attend:
MAKE A PLAN! @TheUSCAP

Review the conference website: 2023am.uscap.org

Select "Schedule" under the "Program" drop-down menu for a day by day, hour by hour view #USCAP2023 👇🏻 2/ Image
3. Focus, Focus, Focus

Too many concurrent sessions at #USCAP2023 to randomly select

Residents: make ACTIVE choices - is there a subspecialty I'm considering fellowship in? is there a technology (#molecpath, #digitalpathology, #AI) that I want to learn more about? 👇🏻 3/

QuPath v0.4.0 is now available!

Download it at qupath.github.io

#opensource #bioimageanalysis #digitalpathology #java #javafx QuPath homepage
There are so many new things that it'll take some days to describe even just the main ones.

For now, I'll start by mentioning a few of the user interface improvements.

QuPath v0.4.0 is more welcoming than previous versions... and a bit more stylish.
In fact, you can even style it in your own unique way if you really want to, thanks to #javafx & css (ideally in a nicer way than in my screenshots).

1/14 🆕 🚨Accelerated article on #breastcancer just out in @nature! #bcsm

We asked:
1️⃣ What drives response to #chemotherapy in #breast #cancer
2️⃣ Can we use #machinelearning to predict response to chemotherapy❓

Link: nature.com/articles/s4158…

A 🧵👇👇👇 @OncoAlert
2/14 We are unable to #predict #response to treatment in clinic…

✅Good response ➡️treatment very effective ➡️better survival
❌Poorer response ➡️treatment less effective ➡️worse survival

Being able to forecast response would be a landmark advance!
3/14 We ran a study in women with #breastcancer @CUH_NHS+@CRUK_CI:
1️⃣who had a #cancer biopsy (which we analysed)
2️⃣received 18 weeks of chemo+/-targeted therapy
3️⃣had surgery (and we measured how much cancer remained)

We associated PRE-therapy profiles↔️POST-therapy response👇

I say 'almost all', because I need to mention the command list early: with 'Ctrl + L' you get a searchable list of everything in the menus.

Having told you that, I can now ignore the menus & focus on shortcuts - safe in the knowledge you can find things if you need them. 2/20
(If you *really* like the command list, you can turn it into a command bar and give it a special place at the top of the viewer... but I probably wouldn't unless I broke my 'L' key.) 3/20

Time for a quick introduction to @QuPath in tweetorial form.

First up: a little background on how QuPath differs from other great #opensource tools for #bioimageanalysis like @FijiSc & @CellProfiler - and how to get started viewing images. 1/12

qupath.github.io
QuPath's most obvious distinguishing feature is that it handles whole slide images. These are ultra-large 2D images, often up to 50 GB in size.

Whole slide images are everywhere in #digitalpathology & increasingly common in research. 2/12
A single whole slide image can be more than 200k x 100k pixels in size & contain a huge amount of information that matters to researchers & clinicians.

The trouble is trying to wring that information out of billions of pixels. 3/12
