This year is the 10th anniversary of the Google Research’s Connectomics team! In celebration, today with MCB_Harvard we’re publishing a 1.4 petabyte human brain connectome with 57k cells and 150M synapses in Science Magazine → goo.gle/4a8SpWT & sites.research.google/neural-mapping/

Reconstruction of 1 mm3 of human brain (at 1.4 petabytes of EM data) published by Viren Jain (Google AI) & Lichtman lab. Paper: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Blog: research.google/blog/ten-years…

Felt grateful to be back to where I grew up and share my journey breaking boundaries at Tainan Girls High School & Tainan First High School! The overwhelming engagement and curiosity have amazed me. Knowledge sharing is key to inclusion and innovation!#WomenInSTEM #Diversity

What if we could decode the mysteries of how we think? 🧐 New research from our Connectomics team and Harvard University University reveals surprising new insights about our human brain, using scientific imaging and our advanced AI algorithms. Learn more → goo.gle/44zxGdP

Researchers have generated a nanoscale-resolution reconstruction of a millimeter-scale fragment of human cerebral cortex, giving an unprecedented view into the structural organization of brain tissue at the supracellular, cellular, and subcellular levels. scim.ag/6WK

The fly has a full #connectome, basically a directed + weighted graph. But what are its connection ‘signs’, excitatory/inhibitory? We move towards this answer, predicting transmitters from EM! w/Nils Eckstein, vid Amy Robinson Sterling, 1/n Published Cell: cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

🔬🐝Excited to share our latest paper published IEEE-TMI: A novel benchmark for domain adaptive synapse detection, consisting of 14 electron microscopy image volumes from a biologically diverse set of Megaphragma viggianii brain regions.

Statistics 110: Probability by Harvard University. Inarguably, one of the best probability courses on the web! youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Phinally Done!✅ A picture is worth a thousand words, and a PhD journey is worth countless thank-yous. I’m deeply grateful to my advisor Hanspeter Pfister, mentors, family and friends for their love & support, leading me to go this far and be ready for next chapter!💪#harvardclassof2024

Congratulations Dr. Tica Lin! You did absolutely outstanding research for your Ph.D. under tough (COVID) circumstances. I am very proud of you.

Previously unseen details of human brain structure revealed. Featured image: a single neuron with ~5,600 of the nerve fibers that connect to it. I feel overwhelming awe at nature's complexity and order. nih.gov/news-events/ni…

From studying electrical engineering in Taiwan to becoming the first UX designer for the 76ers, Tica Lin has a robust portfolio in the sciences―and in sports! She told us about how her research interests evolved and brought her to Harvard VCG. Read here: buff.ly/3KnhmDs

I’m so glad people found my doodle and PhD survival kit helpful to navigate the hardship during #phdlife !💪🎓🙌

Thanks The Science Coalition for hosting Harvard at “The Science of Sports” event, with support from our very own Congresswoman Lori Trahan ! Had a blast sharing our data vis research sportsbuddy for sports storytelling on behalf of Harvard VCG to a diverse group of sports lovers🎉

Welcome to our new postdoc Grace. Grace got her PhD from Georgia Tech, where she developed visual analytics tools for human-centered explainable AI applications. She is now looking forward to extending that work to biomedical & imaging datasets. We are excited to have you!

The printed edition of Elements of Data Science -- with full color interior -- is available now at 20% off. allendowney.com/blog/2024/07/1… It includes the updated content from my popular DataCamp course, "Exploratory Data Analysis in Python".

In a study funded in part by #NCIITCR, Simon, Jakob Troidl, Hanspeter Pfister, et al. developed psudo, an interactive #dataviz system that allows users to create optimal color palettes for multichannel #SpatialData Wiley Biomedical Science onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/cg….
