🧠1/ Have you ever felt like you're in a surreal world where sizes and scales are all warped? No, it's not a fantasy—it's a real medical condition! And our latest research dives into this mind-bending phenomenon called Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AIWS) #Neuroscience #AIWS

RELEASE DAY After almost 10 years of hard work, tireless research, and a dive deep into the kernels of computer science, I finally realized a dream: running a high-level language on GPUs. And I'm giving it to the world! Bend compiles modern programming features, including: -

“Building on the extensive literature on causal inference across diverse disciplines, we suggest a framework for observational studies that aim to provide evidence about the causal effects of interventions”

Breaking: U.S. Senate today unanimously passed the National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act! 🎉🎉🥳🎊🎁🎈michaeljfox.org Michael Okun Michael Fox michaeljfox.org/news/national-…

A great manuscript for those getting into ML doi.org/10.1038/s41598…

I just wrote a numpy 3D-array viewer with Three.js and #anywidget. If you want to tinker with it, here's the standalone app: py.cafe/kolibril13/thr… It’s powered by PyCafe and runs entirely in your local browser thanks to Pyodide.

What if we could universally recombine, insert, delete, or invert any two pieces of DNA? In back-to-back nature papers, we report the discovery of bridge RNAs and 3 atomic structures of the first natural RNA-guided recombinase - a new mechanism for programmable genome design

The new Segment Anything model is going to make digital neurology a lot more approachable. Want to identify a lesion in a brain scan? Track the movement of a pupil? Identify limbs for a motor assessment? This will very likely do it.

Excited to be recognised as one of the top ten projects in the Life Sciences category of the #FallingWalls #GlobalCall24! Now in the running for the #ScienceBreakthrough of the Year title. #ScienceSummit24 Read more: falling-walls.com/mapping-human-…

Found a cool use-case for Review PyPer: patents! Patent agent asked me to prep a csv comparing an invention to all prior art. Basically needed a complete lit review on a 3 day turnaround. Review PyPer had the CSV done in a morning while I worked on a manuscript!

Does a worse cognitive (thinking) score eliminate you from Parkinson's DBS? What are the outcomes? Very interesting finding that those who passed cognitive screening for DBS, but who had lower scores, still greatly benefited and did so over time. I want to caution that the data

By job, I count 7/100 traditional academics. Why is this? Does Time neglect academics like Yann LeCun, or Geoffrey Hinton who quite literally built the models these folks use? Or is this a symptom of influence shifting away from academia and into industry? I’m not sure either way

Just in time for Review PyPer’s final validation analysis! GPT4 wasn’t so great at ‘thinking’ about hard medical problems. Let’s see if these do better.

We need to remember that mice are not small humans. How many promising ideas died because they tried to equate our physiologies?
