Trapped doing optics in Oxford. Still not found a way out.

[Noa Zilberman @n4noa]

Super excited to be leading a new Scalable AI Systems project @OxEngSci, funded by @ARIA_research, with my colleagues Amro Awad, @ProfMartinJBoo1, @nickmckeown1, Dominic O’Brien and @patrickssalter. We are recruiting PhD students, postdocs and PM https://t.co/t2O68E0R4J

[Prof. Michael Lin @MichaelLinLab]

This may be obvious to some but I'm now convinced: fierce competition for grants and papers is leading to low societal ROI (return on investment).

Why, when competition should mean only the best-formulated and executed work is accepted for funding and high-profile publication?

[ARIA @ARIA_research]

Current mechanisms for training AI systems utilise a narrow set of algorithms/hardware building blocks and require significant capital to develop + produce.

In Scaling Compute, we’re funding 12 teams of Creators in an effort to reduce the cost of AI hardware by >1000x ↓ (1/2)

@Eric_Betzig What about Heaviside?

[Achillefs Kapanidis @AchillesKap]

We have 2 postdoc openings for an imaging biophysist and a data scientist at @kavlioxford. Intrigued by super-res microscopes🔬, single molecules, RNA, condensates, AI and bacteria 🦠? Read on! #ScienceJobs #Postdoc #bacteria #singlemolecule Pls RT.

[Prof Martin J Booth @ProfMartinJBoo1]

Great to be leading a project with @patrickssalter on this exciting scheme.

[ARIA @ARIA_research]

We’re excited to announce our seed funding recipients for the Nature Computes Better opportunity space.
Designed to open up new research paths, seeds are small but powerful ways we empower ambitious researchers to pursue research that might otherwise fall through the cracks. 1/4

#FluorescenceFriday #zebrafish #bioart To see cells as they really are, it's necessary to see them in the native multicellular environment in which they evolved. However, the deeper we peer into living tissue, the more our view is obscured by optical aberrations. Here, take a trip as we dive 200 um down from the optic tectum to the hindbrain in a living zebrafish, turning on adaptive optics to correct these aberrations as we go, to see oligodendrocytes (orange) and neural nuclei (green). https://t.co/VtRNfzY6np

Sad news with the passing of optics pioneer Andy Weiner last week. His impact is everywhere, especially for inventing spectral domain pulseshaping. If you've ever used a "waveshaper" you've used his work! His bio on winning @Optica Townes medal is here https://t.co/cWc1aTEJWP

Excited to reveal our new paper out in @acsnano By varying the laser dose and process history we can engineer wires in diamond with asymmetric barrier potentials. High-res TEM reveals structural differences at the nanoscale https://t.co/FND5tDntZT
