Theme Change - Beware of your dependencies

I had to switch the theme of the blog. This was unexpected and was a hard reminder that you should always be careful with your dependencies.

Detecting Antarctic Shag Nests 🐧🐻‍❄️🇦🇶

It’s always nice if you can use your technical skills for something good for our planet. I have this opportunity during work at Appsilon where from time to time we work on Data4Good projects. One such project was copepods/plankton project where I was doing segmentation of the oil sac in the Arctic plankton. This time I’d like to share something from the other pole of the globe. Currently we work on detecting the Antarctic shags nests on the Antarctic islands. Together with Jędrzej Świeżewski and Joanna Kaleta we were cooperating with researchers from IBB PAS on this task. Checkout the engagement summary blog post on the Appsilon blog. ...

I wrote a post for Appsilon that has been published on medium regarding this topic. Be sure to check it out, it was a real game-changer for me! ...
