How do docs get training on foundations in #AI ? Topic of discussion between Eric Topol & Darilyn Moyer during opening plenary #IM2024 ACP
Seems like an opportunity for AMIA folks - many #IMProud plus more -- & EFIM - European Federation of Internal Medicine colleagues to weigh in! #MedTwitter

Protein folding is so important. In 2023, DeepMind won the $250,000 Lasker award for their solution to the problem. A lot of people have asked me to explain protein folding in simple, understandable terms.

Here is my attempt at explaining just the problem.

It was so great to hear from Kevin B. Johnson, MD, MS, William Hersh, and Dr. George Hripcsak for this episode! And thanks as well to our amazing hosts, Harris T. Bland (he/they) and Ellie Shuert!

I enjoyed participating in an episode of this podcast on, Life After Leadership: Stories from Inside Biomedical Informatics Departments. It was fun to reflect on decisions to step down as chairs of our departments but continue on with our research, teaching, and other work.

Hot off the press from Alyssa Hersh !

Delighted to deliver the Keynote Talk today at MSU College of Osteopathic Medicine Research Day. My talk is entitled, Artificial Intelligence: Implications for Clinical Practice, Research, and Education, and a PDF of slides and references is at:

I am off to the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine MSU College of Osteopathic Medicine, where I will be delivering the Keynote Address for their annual Research Day. The topic? Of course, AI! Slides will be posted tomorrow.

There is still time to register for the OHSU Informatics 10x10 course!

Exciting postdoc position available at OHSU Informatics!

Nice of William Hersh to give a plug to some of our ielab work on LLM query generation and RAG at the #ecir2024 Search Futures workshop. Thanks Bill! ECIR2024

New language models get released every day (Gemini-1.5, Gemma, Claude 3, potentially GPT-5 etc. etc.), but one component of LLMs has remained constant over the last few years—the decoder-only transformer architecture. This architecture has five components…

Check out this nice corpora for medical retrieval augmented generation (RAG) now available on Hugging Face via Guangzhi Xiong, Qiao Jin, MD, and team National Library of Medicine 🔥

Since the media seems more focused on other topics, I'm launching a new recurring feature: Biden v. Trump on the actual issues -- what they did as president and what they would try to do in a second term.

So true from Jessie Tenenbaum: Make equity and mental well-being 'rows, not columns'

Enlightening post William Hersh! Thousands of AI algorithms created but only 100 RCTs testing these models. Many models fail due to lack of clinical acceptance. As a junior faculty interested in AI, I realized implementation science and EHR tools are necessary skills! #MedTwitter
