@DynamicWebPaige I am so lucky that is more-or-less exactly my job description (minus the presidio, but the UW campus is also not bad).

🎧🎼1/ דברים יפים לשבת בבוקר: ג׳וני מיטשל, המלכה האם, בת 80, אחרי שבץ, ועדיין מסווינגה לשיר הזה את הצורה בטקס פרס גרשווין (לאלטון וברני). היא כתבה מילים חדשות ויצא לה אחד הקאברים הכי נהדרים ששמעתי מזה זמן. אהבתי איך שאנני וברנדי והלהקה שומרות על השיר שלא יתפרק כי נדמה לרגע שכן

@barbgruszka @neurohackademy I don't know? What's labyrinth? Maybe the folks @PrincetonUPress can answer that?

[Ariel Rokem @arokem]

Our new book is finally out! A hands-on exploration of data science for neuroimaging, based on our experience teaching @neurohackademy, with plenty of examples using Python software tools and open data.

@flourn0 @neurohackademy I guess you'd have to invite me to give a talk at your department 😀

[The Neuro @TheNeuro_MNI]

Congrat to @BIDSstandard, who are Main Prize winners of the The Neuro – Irv and Helga Cooper Foundation #OpenScience Prizes! BIDS is a community-led standard for sharing #neuroimaging data.

Help celebrate their achievement at this upcoming symposium!

@choldgraf I knew it was a mistake logging on here. Going back to bsky now.

[Ariel Rokem @arokem]

@choldgraf For example, in the recent "cool and useful" side of things asking copilot chat to look up matplotlib key-word arguments for me sure beats reading the docs :-)

[Ariel Rokem @arokem]

@choldgraf I don't post much, but I'm strongly in the "some of this is cool and useful, but some of this is definitely grifting bullshit" camp.

"Because we had this large dataset to work with, we could really chart how babies’ brains change in the first few days and weeks of life." -- @arokem on how new software is changing our understanding of human brain development https://t.co/zATkQZen8u

[Ariel Rokem @arokem]

@OHBM Hello! Has the deadline for submissions also been shifted back? Would it be possible to publish the full timeline for abstract submission/review/acceptance? Thank you!

[Ariel Rokem @arokem]

Cool and encouraging work by @pearsekeane and colleagues (including @uw's own incredible @aaronylee and members of his group!), demonstrating that domain-specific self-supervised learning can create a basis (foundation, if you will...) for a range of specific tasks in that domain

🚨🚨 New paper alert 🚨🚨

Introducing RETFound, a foundation model for ophthalmology

We’re super excited about this and hope it will act as a #Cornerstone for global efforts to prevent blindness through #AI
