⚡️🔬📣 Excited to share our new @Nature article building and evaluating PathChat, a multimodal generative AI copilot and chatbot for human pathology. Article: https://t.co/OAIG31ofWJ Open Access Link:

We leverage our previous success in building foundation models for computational pathology such as UNI / CONCH and combine it with the advancements of large vision language models and generative AI to enable PathChat to answer diverse pathology-related queries. We assessed PathChat using both multiple choice diagnostic questions and open-ended questions.
Congratulations to @MYLu97@chenbowen118 @DFKW_MD @richardjchen and everyone else who contributed to this work.
Also see blog post from @MYLu97 about this work: https://t.co/exjpKMnrQp , also teasing the development and preview of PathChat 2, a successor to PathChat 1 bringing new capabilities and substantially improved performance to the state-of-the-art.
"Perfection is impossible.
In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches.
But what percentage of points did I win?
54%
In other words, even top ranked tennis players win barely more than half the points they play.
When you lose ever second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot.
You teach yourself to think:
'Okay, I double faulted...it's only a point.'
'Okay, I came to the net and I got passed again...it's only a point.'
Even a great shot, an overhead backhand smash that ends up on ESPN's top 10 playlist – that too is just a point.
Here's why I'm telling you this.
When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. And it is.
But when it's behind you, it's behind you.
This mindset is crucial – because it frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus."

As I stand here with a fax in hand that denies one of my patients on chemo an antinausea drug which could get them through the American holiday weekend more tolerably & humanely, I realize that South Park is now a documentary:
I have no idea where this video is from. I found it on Reddit, but this explains humanity so well.
This man walks into a Chinese Restaurant for takeout. He immediately begins speaking perfect Chinese, with a perfect accent.
He has a conversation with the staff, who calls him "one of us," and then they proceed to give him his food for free.
This is humanity. Everyone should take a chance to learn about others, identify with others, and empathize with others. We often see more racist people in small towns rather than in large cities. This isn't necessarily their faults.
This is because racism is mostly built on "the unknown" and people tend to fear the unknown. Once you get to know people and befriend people from other races, religions, sexual orientations, gender ideologies, and ethnicities, you have a tendency to better understand where they come from.
This is why learning about other cultures, religions, and even languages is so important. It's why studying history, and sociology are important.
Reach out to someone you don't identify well with and try to learn about them today. It will help humanity tomorrow.
