We have an exciting symposium on Machine Learning in Biological Imaging – How to Train Your Artificial Neural Network at Microscopy and Microanalysis 2023. The abstract submission deadline closes on Feb 16. https://www.microscopy.org/MandM/2023/program/descriptions.cfm#biological

Final presentations plus concert by Master Boot Record — what a way to end #DLinJava!!!

Thanks to all participants for being awesome, @humantechnopole for having us, and @AI4Life and #GlobalBioImageing for all the support!

Hi all! I’ll be live on @NPR Science Friday tomorrow with Melanie Mitchell of the Santa Fe Institute! We’ll be talking all things AI, including yes, ChatGPT. Tune in and ask us some questions!

@humantechnopole @AI4Life Impressions of what happens at #DLinJava when we are not coding. Lunch in a real and active prison, concerts of various kinds, bar inspections. #fun and #productive 👍

@humantechnopole @AI4Life And the fun continues… here some dinner impressions! #refueling @AI4Life #GlobalBioImaging #DLinJava

The range of all estimates of how much #CO₂ is taken up by the #ocean is now larger than the current fossil fuel #emissions of the #European Union.

Help us reduce the uncertainty by a targeted benchmarking of the ocean biogeochemistry models within the framework of the #horizon2020 project #OceanICU Improving Carbon Understanding.

Apply for the 2 year #PostDoc position @awi by 07 March 2023.

First hackathon ever hosted @humantechnopole — sooo exciting after years of pandemic and us moving here to 🇮🇹!

Our goal? Bringing #DeepLearning to #Java and enable open bioimage analysis tools to benefit from this! @AI4Life #Icy #Fiji #Qpath #DLinJava

Want to work at the intersection of morphometry and representation learning for bioimage analysis?

We have TWO open postdoctoral positions! Each comes with its own challenging biological question, unique dataset, and exceptional team of collaborators!

The emerging connectome, or synaptic wiring diagram, of the Drosophila brain has transformed fly circuit neuroscience. But the ventral nerve cord, which mediates limb proprioception and motor control in the adult fly, has lagged behind. We set out to fill this gap. 🧵1/n

Today is day 1 of the Global Bioimaging Hackathon on deep learning models in bioimaging Java-based image analysis tools in Milan at Human Technopole.

This is just a straight-up joke, right?

Tufte has been an inspiration over the years. But here we have a series of quotes and admonitions about misleading statistics—followed by the completely unsourced, utterly imprecise, almost certainly inaccurate, and likely far-overestimated figure about something we can at best estimate only very approximately and with substantive caveats and qualifications.

Pfizer and Moderna defending their price increase of Covid vaccines - from about $20 to about $120 - by saying the price “is consistent with the value delivered”

In other words, it’s the price they feel they can get away with because the vaccines are so crucial to the well being of much of the planet.

Capitalism is awful
