🚨 Introducing Project Cosmos, the world’s largest database of climate change research.

Carbon Brief has mapped the academic literature and evidence that underpins humanity's knowledge of climate change.

The Cosmos database includes 1.8 million studies.

Behold the human brain. It's amazing to realize that this spontaneously appeared, after billions of years, from the quark-gluon plasma of the Big Bang. The universe somehow taught matter how to dream.

My phone autocorrected "ducking" to "ducking" and honestly I respect the consistency.

ML research from #DSIAfrica2024! The Nairobi model shows how SHAP values can identify key diabetes risk factors, with body roundness index, triglycerides, and blood pressure emerging as top predictors. Great potential for improving clinical decision-in Africa. #HealthTech

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

This year’s #NobelPrize laureate in physics John Hopfield created an associative memory that can store and reconstruct images and other types of patterns in data.

The Hopfield network can store patterns and has a method for recreating them. When the network is given an incomplete or slightly distorted pattern, the method can find the stored pattern that is most similar.

Springbok captain Siya Kolisi wanted to visit Wynberg Boys since their war cry went viral. It was his idea to surprise the boys.

The cheer team, led by Leighton Morton (17), scripted a Bok-inspired battle cry ahead of Springboks’ Freedom Cup win 🏆✊🏽🇿🇦
