'Much guidance on statistical training in STEM fields has been focused largely on the undergraduate cohort, with graduate education often being absent from the equation. Training in quantitative methods and reasoning is critical for graduate students in biomedical and science programs to foster reproducible and responsible research practices.'

Toto, I've a feeling we're not in New York anymore.

Cork, right after the harvest.

'Our results show that despite different building materials, comb configurations, and 179 million years of independent evolution, honey bees and social wasps have converged on the same solutions for the same architectural problems, thereby revealing fundamental building properties and evolutionary convergence in construction behavior.'

As a sanity check, we mined the Allen projection atlas, but again could not find any connection from ACA to HPC. Since our preprint came out, we tried fast blue retrograde tracing from HPC and worked through a cool single neuron PFC projectome database: https://mouse.braindatacenter.cn/

Hahahahah. Holy shit.

So Zoom is irrevocably turning their entire network into a training data set: https://hackers.town/@devlogic/110843380784157782

EVERY "public service" company is now attempting to extract value. They're all going for it. They're gonna burn it all down to try and turn AI into a financial exit. Search engines, communication backbones, social networks, everybody.

#Euclid’s Near-Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer instrument is dedicated to measuring the amount of light that #galaxies
emit at each wavelength.

The light from Euclid’s #telescope passes through the grism, which splits light from every star and galaxy by wavelength.

This information can be pulled out and analysed to determine the type of #galaxy and what its distance is.

E assim começa a semana, num país que volta hoje a viver uma República Democrática do século XXI e não numa Monarquia Teocrática que branqueia e censura este tipo de crimes.

“Mire usted”, le contestó, “cuando tomé posesión me dijo el rector: Tiene usted ahora que ir al Sr. arzobispo para ponerse a su disposición.

—¿Y por qué?, dije yo.

—Hombre, es lo que hay que hacer, ¿no le parece?

—Pues me he venido sin más [a Madrid] y que le den por culo al arzobispo y al rector”.

'Across America right now, parents face a possible nightmare: taking a sick child to the doctor, only to be told at the front desk that their health insurance is no longer valid.
