#70 — In this special panel discussion, Peter O'Toole is joined by members of the Network of European Bioimage Analysts (NEUBIAS), including:

• Elnaz Fazeli, Imaging Specialist in the Department of Anatomy at the University of Helsinki.
• Kota Miura, freelance image analyst and Vice Chair of NEUBIAS.
• Robert Haase, Group Leader in Bio-image Analysis Technology Development in the DFG Cluster of Excellence "Physics of Life" at TU Dresden.

In this episode of The Microscopists, the panel discusses how hard it is to establish a funding model for bioimage analysis core facilities—and why you need to be a bit weird (and very optimistic) to do it as a freelancer! They also chat about how much work can go into writing 20 lines of imaging code, hushpuppies, and beers named after dogs.
