My #PhD program allows me to spend up to 6 months abroad to work on anything I'd like (with my supervisors approval).
I'd like to spend them in the #openscience and #researchsoftwareengineering fields. If anyone has some ideas of whom I could contact I'd be grateful.

Our new 📝 in #PLoSCompBiology. We describe the #StructureIndex, a graph-based metric to quantify how feature values are distributed over a point cloud in any dim-space (genes, neural manifolds, signals, pixels..) https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1011768

Remember when there was a debate over whether hospitals were being bombed? 100 days later, NONE of Gaza’s 36 hospitals are fully functional, according to the World Health Organization.

'The Rhodesian inquiries were conducted under, and influenced by, the conditions and attitudes of British occupation and colonial rule. Nearly all the statements and testimonies of Black witnesses were dismissed or disqualified. In the photographs of the victims, the bodies are labeled according to their nationalities, with the exception of Sergeant Serge Barrau from Haiti; his body is simply labeled as “Coloured.”'

In Australia RN hospitalisations are high. Wastewater supports rampant community transmission. New variant replacing previous variant in real time. School & Uni holidays about to end. Vax limited. Adults will get infected by kids. Hospital, lab & business will soon complain of ⬆️absence & ⬆️workload.
'The microscope revealed an eerie landscape of destruction. All that was left in the patient’s cortex were astrocytes and microglia, and the few remaining neurons showed extensive vacuolation of their bodies and processes. Such blazing destruction of the brain was indicative of just one diagnosis: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a spongiform encephalopathy caused by enigmatic infectious agents called prions.'

“The U.S. market is the bank for pharmaceutical companies,” said Ameet Sarpatwari, an expert in pharmaceutical policy at Harvard Medical School. “There’s a keen sense that the best place to try to extract profits is the U.S. because of its existing system and its dysfunction.”

'This was Coppola’s bid to take his place among the cinema’s image-masters, such as F. W. Murnau and King Vidor, who took bare-bones stories of an abstracted simplicity—at the edge of legend—and endowed them with overwhelming power through sheer visual impact.'

Now that I'm moved to neuromatch.social, a new #introduction.
I’m a professor at UPenn who studies memory. I work at the nexus of brain research and computation. I’m also writing a book: When it comes to understanding the brain, what are we trying to achieve? What’s our plan to get there? What challenges do we face?
Writing has deepened my appreciation for community-based progress. I'm excited to be here to participate in, and benefit from, collective intelligence.
I'm also committed to restraining myself from the power of 10K characters. But I will edit whenever I'm allowed - that is the superpower that we all deserve.

"Our data suggest that active Long Covid is accompanied by a blood protein signature marked by increased complement activation and thromboinflammation, including activated platelets and markers of red blood cell lysis. Tissue injury may also be complement-mediated and, in turn, activate the complement system." #Covid #LongCovid #Virology #Immunology https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adg7942
'In 2019, new information emerged relating to Julien’s stay in the Ndola hospital, provided by the government of Zimbabwe to the current U.N. inquiry. This fresh information reveals that the Rhodesian authorities actively sought to prevent Julien’s statements about the flight and the crash from being made public. A senior Rhodesian intelligence official instructed Julien’s medical superintendent that “no one of his hospital staff must talk about this,” in relation to Julien’s statements that he had seen sparks in the sky. The superintendent and another doctor were warned about “the security angle” and asked “to make sure that none of their staff talked.”'
