I don’t usually post personal news but Clinicians have told us to pull every lever.

Our daughter has with #dipg Brain cancer. There is no cure and typically 9m life expectancy.

If anyone knows of trials then please get in contact! #braincancer #childrenscancer @CR_UK

Awesome illustration! Love the highlight for napari-threedee, an amazing plugin by @DataNerdery, @AlisterBurt, and @ky396 that implements 3D object manipulation & interactivity in napari :)

In 2017, a team led by Andrew Ng published a paper showing off a Deep Learning model to detect pneumonia.

Andrew is one of the most recognized researchers in the world, and the paper showed excellent results.

But there was a big problem with their results:

@Czaki_PL @sofroniewn @camachodejay @napari_imaging @thefreemanlab @jnuneziglesias I think a lot of remote access scenarios would be having some beefy computer with large storage + fast GPU render the output into a buffer and sending that data to the client on your local computer. Or for standard use cases you can just run both client & server on local machine.

@sofroniewn @camachodejay @napari_imaging @thefreemanlab @jnuneziglesias We could also theoretically compile napari to WebAssembly which has ways to access the DOM.

[Kira Evans @kne42]

@sofroniewn @camachodejay @napari_imaging @thefreemanlab @jnuneziglesias This depends on if py-script provides access to the DOM.

IMO the most likely route to a napari browser version would be to have a front-end built with something like React and a back-end of Python that sends the current viewport info and receives inputs like cursor position.

@djhoese its so clean 😍

BTW the 800mg of ibuprofen they gave me? $200

Get me out of this shit country.

[Kira Evans @kne42]

Just found out my ER visit cost $2500 AFTER insurance. I went in for excruciating pain from an infection that wasn’t responding to antibiotics after 5 days and all they did was have a PA-C talk to me for less than 5 minutes, gave me an antibiotic shot, and sent me on my way.

[Kira Evans @kne42]

$2500 and they did no tests, took no cultures, nor had a specialist inspect the area for an abscess (the main reason I came). Unfortunately this is a chronic condition for me and I’ve been to many doctors, urgent cares, and ERs and none of them have taken it so trivialy.

Fun @napari_imaging fact, the initial commit for 6 out of 7 layers were from different authors!

Open source community collaboration for the win! 🚀

[Kevin Yamauchi @ky396]

Contributing to @napari_imaging has been a stable source of positivity during the recent turbulent times. I am continually blown away by the napari community's kindness, generosity, and ingenuity. I am grateful to be a part of the napari community!

[Kira Evans @kne42]

It was such a pleasure & a privilege to help set the ground work for @napari_imaging with @sofroniewn, @jnuneziglesias, @loicaroyer, & many more! Excited to see how this project will continue to grow in the future :)

[Kira Evans @kne42]

@sofroniewn omg congrats !!!

[Kira Evans @kne42]

excited to test this out!

I was seeing some people commenting on how there’s basically a mass shooting every day in America and I was like, surely we can’t have another one, we’ve had like 3 this week already. Guess what happened 2 hours ago? 🤦‍♀️
