The General Assembly of the German Association of #Neuropathology and #Neuroanatomy (DGNN) has decided that Free Neuropathology is the organ of the society. dgnn.de freeneuropathology.org

Our new study is out on #ActaNeuropathologica! We showed a novel stratification of #ATRT SHH patients into 3 subgroups with distinct molecular and clinical features. Thanks to all the co-authors, especially to Martin and @ccthomas10! Uniklinik Münster Hopp-Kindertumorzentrum Heidelberg (KiTZ) link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Glad to announce our newest publication, "Clinical implications of the 2021 edition of the WHO classification of central nervous system tumours" in @naturerevneurol. Many thanks to Tamar Berger, Roger Packer, and Patrick Wen for their great help! nature.com/articles/s4158…

If an all-knowing supercomputer reinvented academia from scratch with the goal of expanding human knowledge & having people enjoy research, teaching & learning, it would never invent: 1) PhD degrees 2) Professorships 3) Peer review 4) Papers (as we know them) 5) 99% of committees

ChatGPT is changing the game, and I want to share real things you can do with this AI system today. Please save this thread and start testing this technology NOW so you’re ahead of the curve.

Here are my 12 guidelines for data exploration and analysis with the right attitude for discovery: 1. You never really finish analyzing a dataset. You just decide to stop and move on at some point, leaving some things undiscovered. 🧵

ChatGPT, describe what a neuropathologist does but in the style of Donald Trump.

Our #arbovirology Team is attending to #ECV2023 with our newly developed Illumina iseq100-based viral #metagenomic pipeline for #virus 🦠 discovery. Its a simple and very sensitive #protocol that is available for low-budget/low-setting labs + mobile platform for #outbreak

Free Neuropathology is now indexed by PubMed and PubMed Central. The PMC website of the journal is here: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/journals/4…
