My love-hate-relationship to science

Honestly, I really started disliking the average image shape I had to process with the program Matlab for my current research project. I stared at my laptop screen 24/7 as it felt like. And the data was noisy and it looked like we were not getting anywhere.

But now! We tuned the algorithm and we believe that we can "see" the cortical actin concentration along the cell outline (that's kind of seeing where the "muscle" of the cell on the membrane is more active - we hope to show that). The reason why this is actually happening is not too simple and we're still thinking about it, but first of all, here's some  data:

Cortical actin concntration along a "master cell" under confinement (our average cell "to rule them all" ;)).
