Our new paper is out in Nature Communications We used predictive musculoskeletal simulations based on OpenSim models, scaled in size from mice to elephants, and reveal mechanistic links between speed, posture and energetics rdcu.be/dVZIy Christofer Clemente Friedl De Groote UQ News

Ever wondered what a dwarf racing a giant would look like? Our (Taylor Dick and Friedl De Groote) new paper simulated humans moving at masses from 0.1 kg to 900 kg. We use them to understand the biomechanical limits to speed as mass increases. youtu.be/CcLKcLCADnw?si…

Ok, here we go: Much of my work concerns the history and return of scientific racism. I’ve written extensively about attempts to resurrect the shuffling corpse of race science and eugenics for many years. Bigotry dressed up as biology. 1/n

Our latest work improves chest x-ray report generation with LLM alignment tools! We build a scalable preference fine-tuning pipeline to improve automated metrics + expert rad. win rates—all WITHOUT any radiologist feedback. Preference alignment w/o needing human preference. 1/3
