With large quantities of heterogeneous data, users performing analyses should be aware of common #DataQuality issues and what to do about them.

Join the Data Use Club for this week's practical session on Data Quality!

friend taught me about something recently, known as Gell-Mann Amnesia

quoting this page: https://www.epsilontheory.com/gell-mann-amnesia/

---

Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.

I've been using #AnnotatedEquations in my recent papers. I think it really adds to the readability and understanding of the math.

Here are some examples. It uses #tikz in #latex.

Let me know if you like it. Happy for any feedback.

No idea how this thing works...but here's my first post! Will see how the dumpster fire pans out on twitter.

#introduction: I am obsessed with the biology of #hallucinations and #delusions.

I am a #newPI at the Francis Crick Institute, London. In our lab, the #Psychosis Collective, we study the neural circuits and immune processes underlying unfounded perceptions and thoughts 🐭 👤 . I look forward to great #neuroscience #immunology #neuroimmunology #psychiatry here!

This is me moving to London without ever having been to London before.

Ok, time for an #introduction.

👋🏻 My name is Angela (pronouns: she/they 🌈) — I recently started as an assistant prof. at Mt. Sinai. I’m generally interested in how we learn, and why learning can lead to changes in mental health. For updates from my group, see http://www.dcalab.org. Topics: naturalistic reinforcement learning as a model of mental health dynamics, modeling iEEG data from humans learning and deciding in complex environments.

@albertcardona Please add our sibling journal to the list: @PNASNexus

Introduction time for me, an #EU funded science project called #AI4Life.

TL;DR: we build a #ModelZoo (bioimage.io) to facilitate #DeepLearning based image data processing on #microscopy data obtained in a #LifeScience context. Why? Because it is important to make the most out of all the amazing data out there!!!

Our 10-partner consortium will build an open, accessible, community-driven repository of #FAIR pretrained #AI models and develop services to deliver these models to life scientists, including those without substantial computational expertise. #AI4Life will provide direct support and ample training activities to prepare life scientists for responsible use of #AI methods. Additionally, #AI4Life will drive community contributions of new models and interoperability between analysis tools. #AI4Life will also facilitate #OpenCalls and public #Challenges aimed at providing state-of-the-art solutions to unsolved image analysis problems in life science research.

#AI4Life brings together #AI/#ML researchers, developers of #OpenSource image analysis tools, providers of European-scale storage and compute services, and European life science #ResearchInfrastructures -- all united behind the common goal to enable life scientists to benefit from the untapped, tremendous power of AI-based analysis methods.

@Sheril These 4 individuals, presenting their case of denial of global warming. It's all too easy to think of them as malicious, or evil, yet most likely, almost certainly, they weren't [0]. A combination of the drawer effect [1], unwitty p-hacking [2], and then the ego-stroking effect of being picked up by some of the media to underscore their narrative, receiving lavish praise and funding from "important" think tanks, and, eventually, even when deep inside the cleverer among them realised their mistakes, it's too late [3], a bit like the big bird site accounts crying out loud "but my followers", never mind the icky fellow travellers they picked up on the way, and the friends they left behind. The path of devastation that should forever haunt them is a reminder of how, at their time of calling, they failed, and seemingly brought us all down with them.

It's fantastic to connect with a lot of new people on #Mastodon, and so I think it's a great opportunity to highlight the #dataViz #protocols that I've been working on. The purpose of this resource is to lower the barrier for people in life sciences to start using R/ggplot2 for #dataViz.
