Today we open source Nomos 1. At just 30B parameters, it scores 87/120 on this year’s Putnam, one of the world’s most prestigious math competitions.

This score would rank #2/3988 in 2024 and marks our first step with @hillclimbai towards creating a SOTA AI mathematician.

Forget AI, write your essays while having a panic attack 45 minutes before deadline, as God intended

Still looking for work! Just FYI!

[Ayesha Spanfelner @a_idelina]

The more I use generative AI, the less I need it. It's a cool thinking partner, but I still prefer the ideas that come from my brain.
IMO, this wave is going to pass soon. What do we think is next?

[Ayesha Spanfelner @a_idelina]

would love to be hired in the "tech" side of biotech. normalize having impossible dreams!

If you’re choosing a research group to join, pay just as much - if not more - attention to the culture and mentoring style in the group than the research.

You can succeed in lots of research areas or projects, but it’s tough to succeed in an unsupportive environment.

Thrilled to share our new paper published today in
@NatureComms: "Motion blur microscopy: in vitro imaging of cell adhesion dynamics in whole blood flow"

Motion Blur Microscopy (MBM) integrates microfluidics and light microscopy with #AI to provide a low cost, easy to implement alternative to intravital microscopy. We use MBM for visualizing cellular interactions, adhesion, and motility in whole blood flow. MBM is generalizable to studies of various diseases, including blood disorders, cancer, thrombosis, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. MBM provides rich datasets for theoretical modeling of cellular adhesion dynamics in complex media.

New Preprint! Excited to be part of this work where @utkugoreke lead a collaboration between the @UAGurkan Lab the @hinczewskilab Lab to develop a novel method of imaging adherent cells in whole blood, despite the high opacity 🔬🩸

Do you guys ever think about quitting grad school?

[Cleveland Orchestra @CleveOrchestra]

It's always a great week when the @COChorus lend their voices to the Mandel stage! Hear Franz Welser-Möst conduct Schubert's Mass No. 6 in Cleveland this week and @carnegiehall on January 18.
