"Netanyahu has a salient interest in the war continuing until Donald Trump ousts Biden from the White House. That would help him implement his three “noes” – no acceptance of responsibility, no elections and no Palestinian state."

Graciela Gonzalez' great presentation of track 2 #biocreativeVIII at #AMIA2023 , focusing on multilingual symptom extraction from clinical text (BTW, less than 1% of published papers on EHR analyze text notes where much relevant medical information lies ). Missing @MKrallinger :)

Graciela Gonzalez, opening the Social Media Mining for Health 2023 (#SMM4H) at #AMIA2023, showing data for how social media data offers a great representative sample of population demographics.

Also, General findings of the shared tasks on #socialmedia mining. Pre-trained transformer models ruling. #AI #MachineLearning #AMIA2023 #SMM4H

Will give an overview of our NIH-NLM-funded research on “Network Science to Model Health Vulnerabilities and Biases” at #SMM4H workshop at #AMIA2023, St. Charles Ballroom, Hilton Riverside, New Orleans. Saturday November 12, 10:30am

Great interview by @NathanJRobinson. Mimics my transition to $maximalism in the 00s. Another element to #minimalism (not in article) is its protestant dualist iconoclasm, which feels very antibody, antiflesh. As if spaces/objects are designed for the spirit, not the body.

"Vengeful aspects became suspect
And bending low as if to hear
And the armies ceased advancing
Because the people had their ear
And the shepherds and the soldiers
Lay beneath the stars"

The past few weeks have been so difficult due to how the attacks and then war affected all, especially friends and colleagues most connected to the region---and most of all those in place, of course. Any position is bound to upset somebody, when what we need is common humanity.

"love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night, and love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves." Seeking solace in music, as it has the power to bring people together, when we most need.

In the XXI century, I will not vote for a president who funds and supports another Dresden or Hiroxima @POTUS more Carter less Bush.

I highly recommend this postdoctoral program with IGCi. The great David Soriano Panos, recent honoree at @CCS2023 Brazil has been a great example of bringing #complexSystems and #networkscience methods into #biology.
