Young scientists regularly ask me for career advice. Academia or industry? Big company or startup? US or Europe?  Good scientists in AI disciplines are fortunate to have many choices. But choosing can be stressful. I always give the same advice. 1/10

So my advice is to choose the option that is the most fun. Why fun? Shouldn't you maximize future reward? Maximize future options? Maximize impact? Maximize income? 3/10

Very readable fun piece by Rita González Márquez about our recent work! With amazing illustration by Franz Stämmele (staemmele.com)

Scientists have created a map of the entire landscape of biomedical research using machine learning tools, along with an interactive website where you can navigate 20 million papers at once and see connections between them. Work by Rita González Márquez et al: machinelearningforscience.de/en/navigating-…

This promises to be an important read

I wish our reaction was as positive and emotional when we see new data showing a big, positive development.

Given how fantastic and important an achievement like this is, hugs and celebrations are the right reaction.

Quite a chutzpah.

C&P: our elephant is as good as your t-SNE/UMAP. 🐘

Evidence: nope, t-SNE is at 61%, elephant is at 13%. 🤷‍♂️

Healthy response: oh, right, thanks, we missed this, will revise our paper. 🙏

Lior instead: see, I told you, t-SNE is at 61% and not at 100%! 🤡
