Count Cells With a Ready-Made Model and Check It by Hand

Run Cellpose, a free pretrained cell-segmentation model, on a public microscopy image on your own laptop. Check its outlines by eye, compare its count with your own count of one region, and learn the signals that tell you not to trust a count before it goes into your notebook.

Outcome: A segmented image plus a manual-vs-model count on one region, with your counting rule and one sentence on where the model failed; it passes when a labmate can recount the same region with your rule and get your manual number.

Predict a Protein Structure and Read Its Confidence Honestly

Run a structure prediction on the free AlphaFold Server, read pLDDT, PAE, pTM and ipTM for what they do and don't say, cross-check with a BLAST search against the PDB, and write a confidence note that a labmate can check against the same files before anyone designs a construct from it.

Outcome: One AlphaFold Server prediction with its downloaded files and a written confidence note (confident regions, relative positions, interface scores, one cross-check, what it can't tell you); it passes when a labmate opens the same files and agrees with every claim in the note.

Build a Cell-Counting Pipeline Your Group Can Rerun and Check

Turn a manual Cellpose count into a small pipeline your group can rerun: a script written with an AI coding assistant, settings in one file, a pinned software version and model file, a sample dataset with known-good counts, a one-command check and a README. It passes when a colleague reruns it and gets your counts.

Outcome: A pipeline folder (script, settings file, pinned requirements, sample images, expected counts, check script, README) that a colleague sets up and runs on their own computer from the README alone; it passes when their check prints PASS, or any difference is explained and written into the README.
