The bit about a lawyer being stopped from entering a music hall in the US because its facial recognition system picked up that she's part of a law company that's suing them is even crazier than I thought.
The law company isn't suing the music hall - it's suing a restaurant, in another state, which is owned by the hall's parent company MSG Entertainment. MSG gone ahead and harvested photos of all the lawyers in the firm and fed it to an image recognition system to ban them from every MSG Entertainment owned location.
People always tell me that if you've got nothing to hide then you've got nothing to fear. She's got nothing to hide and they still went after her.
If this doesn't start making people worried about facial recognition then there's serious trouble coming.

"Americans remain shaken by the covid experience, including the government’s feeble and at times counterproductive responses. The coronavirus cost more than 1 million Americans their lives and left millions more disabled by extreme fatigue, neurological issues and other symptoms of long covid. At the same time, people are angry that government efforts to keep covid from causing even more harm cost many their jobs, set children back in academic development, and led to an uptick in depression and poverty.
Better public health policies could have prevented this devastation."

"Besides Musk’s personal views, his changes to Twitter have worried plenty of scientists — particularly because he fired many people who work on content moderation. Scientists have noted, in particular, a Twitter announcement on 23 November that it would stop enforcing its COVID-19 misinformation policy. And there have since been reports that hate speech on the platform is increasing, including in areas such as climate science."

#Drosophila #Advent Day22: One of my favourite flies, #Leucophenga maculata is our first fly in the subfamily #Steganinae! It is a big Eurasian http://www.drosophila.jp/jdd/class/030705/03070585E.pdf fungus feeder https://www.jstor.org/stable/2647329, attracted to polypores and (especially) oyster mushrooms. There is a striking male/female colour dimorphism, with the male having a metallic-looking microtrichose mesonotum—but their behaviour seems unstudied. #Diptera #Entomology
"Although Chuck headed an experimental lab throughout much of his career, he was really a theoretical neuroscientist at heart, before theoretical neuroscience was a respected and well-defined subfield. His PhD dissertation, ‘A quantitative theory of neural interactions: theoretical and experimental investigations’, lays out a mathematical theory of computation in the nervous system. Strikingly, it anticipates many subsequent debates — some still raging today, almost 60 years later — about rate versus temporal coding and population coding. Indeed, the thesis includes several chapters and appendices devoted to mathematical derivations and only a relatively small number of experimental figures."

#Introduction
I'm an Assistant Professor at Emory University. Our lab uses the Drosophila taste system as a model to study sensory processing and modulation.
I'm passionate about teaching, outreach, and making science more inclusive and equitable. Outside of lab, you can find me trail running, baking, or consuming large amounts of baked goods.
Excited to connect here!

Mathematical physicist Cécile DeWitt-Morette was born #OTD in 1922. She made foundational contributions to the study of Feynman functional integrals, organized the first American conference on general relativity (playing an indirect but important role in the eventual detection of gravitational waves), and started the Les Houches Summer School.

Derek Lowe has updated his post on the recent Merck/Moderna announcements about their combined Pembro/mRNA vax results after hearing back from the companies. It's worth reading in full.
