@nikishin_evg sign up here to see the off the record panel live in SF: https://t.co/wUtGPn1PwA

[Augustine Mavor-Parker @MavorParker]

The RL event @VmaxAI and @southpkcommons are organizing has a stacked panel of amazing researchers, whose work I have admired since my PhD, when RL was not as much of a hot topic as it is today.

Here's a thread on our panelists 👇

[Augustine Mavor-Parker @MavorParker]

At Vmax, we are automating the construction of RL environments and the post-training of agents. We are hiring members of technical staff and research fellows. Come join us in SF! (link to apply in comments).

[Maite Solas @maitesolaszu]

📢📢📢SAVE THE DATE!!!!! Let's have fun and enjoy discussing astro-science in person! Don't miss the opportunity!

[Augustine Mavor-Parker @MavorParker]

RL is the agent-environment loop and we currently do not have enough environments!

At @VmaxAI we're building a platform for environment creation.

[Augustine Mavor-Parker @MavorParker]

Interested to see how the UX of chain of thought reasoning models like r1 evolves over time, I think it's fun to interact with the chain of thought and branch off into different topics to brainstorm and research. I made this as a prototype, try it! https://t.co/T8UgI8teLP

[Dervis Salih @DervisSalih1]

Our new paper is online: Human longevity and Alzheimer’s disease variants act via microglia and oligodendrocyte gene networks. https://t.co/aU4aUvQo9g
@Brain1878 @UKDRI @UCLBrainScience @UCLIoN

[Augustine Mavor-Parker @MavorParker]

I am working on something new at Vmax. We are building agents that leverage the inherent structure in large company datasets to infer trajectories of states, actions and rewards. With this data, we are building multistep RL agents to carry out long-horizon tasks. See our preview!

[Dr. Steph Fowler @slfwlr]

It's finally out!! Extremely grateful for mammoth efforts by co-first author @BehrTiana, and @bwfalcon @Duff_Lab, and all other co-authors. Have a look to see how #cryo-ET can shed light on our brain's molecular secrets! 😍

Excited to announce that I will start my lab at VIB-CMN early next year! If you are fascinated by how the immune system shapes the gut-brain axis in neurological diseases, and you think myeloid cells hold most of the secrets, check out our open positions below – or reach out!

[AstrocyteCafe @AstrocyteCafe]

Happening now: Session #4 on Astrocytes in pathology with the awesome chairs @maitesolaszu and Anna Malik, and another group of amazing speakers: @DimitraSokolova, @LauCiviero, Anna Malik, @mariv_sm, @zontamicaela and @maitesolaszu 🤩

[Dr. Steph Fowler @slfwlr]

I'm finally hiring to the newly-established Fowler Lab in Oxford! 👩‍🔬 Drop me a line if you're interested in EVs, tau, proteomics, and super-resolution microscopy! 2-yr RA (https://t.co/6zxkOldtui) and 3-yr Postdoc (https://t.co/6zxkOldtui) positions available! #phd #science #jobs

[London Glia Community @london_glia]

The London Glia Community has grown considerably over the years and we’re now joining other glia enthusiasts across the 🇬🇧 to set up a UK Glia network.
Do you love glial cells? Join us and get involved.

[UK Dementia Research Institute @UKDRI]

Neuroimmune interactions in neurodegeneration is an important area of research for the UK DRI. It was great to hear from @DimitraSokolova, @w_mcewan, @EdNiBL & all the excellent flash speakers in this session at #Connectome2023 chaired by Dr Wioleta Zelek👏

[Dervis Salih @DervisSalih1]

Great talk by @DimitraSokolova on microglia-astrocyte cross-talk in synapse loss in Alzheimer’s @soyonhonglab @TheCrick @UKDRI @london_glia #LondonGlia2023

[Soyon Hong @soyonhonglab]

[Soyon Hong @soyonhonglab]

Thanks for the highlight @alzforum! Amazing parallel studies w/ the formidable Lennart Mucke & his team & our @UKDRI family Makis Tzioras, @mike_jd_daniels & @TSpiresJones! 😘 so proud of this work led by @JRuedaCarrasco @DimitraSokolova & Sang-Eun Lee. 🎉🎉🎊🎊

[Vis a Vis in the Brain: The Neuron-Glia Interface @NGIFreiburg]

💉 @SebastiaanDeSc2 of @soyonhonglab from @ucl explored the intriguing connection between gut #macrophages and brain neuropathology in #ParkinsonsDisease. A testament to the #GutBrainAxis’s significance! #NGI2023
