@freemo Ha! Don’t worry, I won’t spoil it, although I do recommend maybe waiting for the movie version 
Bit of light reading for a Sunday Looking at various tools and #machinelearning methods for identifying cellular senescence in an attempt to save the lab team a lot of time carrying out manual cell counts

What do you mean "there are bears in those woods"? You never said there would be bears

I'll be teaching an one-line 
Bioconductor for Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics course on the 27 - 29 March 2023:
https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course58/
If you want to learn on your own, all the software and the material is openly available at:
@SherlockpHolmes @vcalhoun hi! Thanks for this! I will certainly take a look 
@The_Colbobs Hi! Great to meet you, thanks for the links! 
I’ll try and get round to adding a few more myself over the weekend!

Hello folks! 
I am Hans, a Machine Learning Scientist 
at a (sadly still stealth) startup, working remote from The Netherlands (we're actively #hiring!). I'm also a PhD candidate in computation pathology, predicting prognosis for people with prostate cancer. See this repo for my work on enabling CNNs to be trained with gigapixel images: https://github.com/DIAGNijmegen/pathology-streaming-pipeline
@PetraPhoenix as is your little girl! Gotta love these funny tiny dogs!

@Scottroby72 haha yes I can imagine! I’m in south west England, we rarely get snow like that and when we do everything grinds to a halt and people go crazy! Then a couple days later it’s all gone again!

@Scottroby72 that looks amazing I’m so jealous, would love to have some snow like that!

Humanity have successfully launched #ArtemisI, marking a significant moment in the history of #Space exploration and the start of a new era of space endeavors. This mission is the first step in our plans to go back to the #Moon, set up a permanent base there, and eventually journey to #Mars. The #Artemis missions have a bold and ambitious vision for the future of space travel and will create a foundation for a new era of exploration, discovery, and understanding of the #Universe.

SAVE THE DATE: We are happy to announce that the Workshop on Genomics 2023 will take place on the 14-27th of May. Save it in your calendars, and share it with those interested!
For the first time, we will introduce an Equal Opportunities bursary system for low- and lower-middle income countries within and outside the EU.

#Introduction:
I'm Robin and still figuring this thing out
Currently finishing my PhD in #ComputationalNeuroscience @ FZ-Juelich, Germany
Trying to understand #brain mechanisms like #cortical #wave dynamics, e.g. via statistical network comparisons
Science needs collaboration and collaboration needs #open-source tools
Spending too much time fine-tuning data visualizations
#dataviz
Passionate about approaching scientific questions via #brainart
Sometimes entertaining a blog at rgutzen.github.io

Reminder that my deep learning course at the University of Geneva is entirely available on-line. 1000+ slides, ~20h of screen-casts.
Full of examples in PyTorch

"The History of the Domestic Cat in Central Europe"
A really cool interdisciplinary project combining palaeogenetics, zooarchaeology and radiocarbon dating.
Child death, unsafe social housing
Tragic and shameful. Too many people living in cold damp acommodation are being told to put up with it, told people used to have it worse, told it's not a big deal. No one should be living like this. What a terrible, heartbreaking waste of life.

@SparrowRad I’m going to be working on various medical imaging research projects alongside Karen Knapp, hopefully be getting involved with some teaching too!
