🚨 Alert: two new papers from my lab! :-)

In both papers, we combine diffusion MRI and magnetic resonance elastography.

You might have heard about diffuse axonal injury in TBI in general, & concussion in particular, but...1/

@powellAtlantic How to fire up a fanbase living through a 50year drought -

1st home Finals game: invite a guy the city didn’t vote for, massively inconvenience everyone & then watch him fall asleep

2nd home Finals game: pick a fight with the popular mayor most of your fans probably voted for

@SemiAnalysis_ The robotics companies' argument so far: "we build a very complicated human-shaped machines to do jobs that simpler nonhuman shaped machines already do better"

@kevinwildes But it also doesn’t seem like the guards on his team know how to feed him consistently. No expert, but it seems like they aren't runin enough plays to get him touches in the post. So wondering if you’ve noticed coaching issues on the Spurs side over the last two games/2night?

@AdHaque110 @DalrympleWill This is precisely why they won’t let outside journalists or forensic experts in because of the scale of the crime. The occupied parts of the Strip beyond the yellow line are the biggest crime scene, which is why Phase Two is unlikely to happen while the evidence is being erased

@Schuldensuehner @paulg It is a crisis of alienation that runs the gamut -- city, community, neighbors, extended family and likely soon the nuclear family itself.

People are looking for derisked, glistening relationships, like a perfect tomato at the supermarket - i.e., w/o the messiness of a real bond

Long-term editing of brain circuits with engineered electrical synapses! I still remember years ago when @KafuiDzirasa from @DukeU @hhmi_science called me beaming with excitement about this new technology. Here it is today @Nature.

...the injury (abnormality) burden of a given gray matter region is strongly correlated with its normative mechanical stiffness.

Beyond that, there are some very interesting findings about the potential for dMRI to provide useful mechanical information about the brain ... /end

2nd paper, we show that if you use more direction-agnostic computational models of diffusion MRI data, you can uncover abnormalities in gray matter that appear more diffusely across regions beyond the strain hotspots, especially in the subacute & chronic stages. Interestingly..3/

@AOC "Billionaires shouldn’t exist" requires a different evidentiary burden than "no one makes a billion $s normally" which is different from "some people & companies use nefarious tactics to make billions." The 1st is more defensible than the 2nd, & the 3rd is empirically obvious.

@AnthropicAI Do you have consent for research use and analysis of these conversations? And how are you protecting people’s privacy?

[Adnan Hirad, MD, PhD @HiradScience]

@rohanpaul_ai “Stay upright” is a trainable task but not context-appropriate here. A human would have recognized that the surface was seat-like & simply sat down. This thing is creating more chaos by rigidly executing the task, at the expense of a much more context-appropriate behavior

@GhoshAmitav @vali_nasr What a formulation -- these two sentences provide the most impeccable and complete, yet pithy, description of the entirety of the "West's" geopolitical logic and its unceasing unilateral conflicts

"The catastrophic failure of the American-Israeli war on Iran seems certain to inaugurate another revolution in global consciousness."

The true historical analogy for this war isn't Suez 1956 but Tsushima 1905. Must read.

Surveillance footage showed chaotic scenes at Iranian hospitals as strikes rain down on the country.

One scene captured a nurse rescuing three newborn babies at a hospital in Tehran and carrying them to safety.

A couple of months ago, I announced that I was partway through implementing a simple, readable AlphaFold2 in pure PyTorch, inspired by @karpathy's minGPT.

Today, I'm happy to share minAlphaFold2 - the completion of that project.

Dozens of Palestinian children have been unable to go to school in the Israeli-occupied West Bank this week because of a barbed-wire fence villagers say was put up by Jewish settlers across the path they normally use https://t.co/Jiz5eDlsDu
