I mostly (re)post a mix of research software, open science, and heavy metal.

#MachineLearning and #GraphNeuralNetworks are improving track reconstruction in the @belle2collab experiment! The CAT Finder algorithm developed at @KITKarlsruhe detects and reconstructs particle tracks with unprecedented precision. New paper out today: https://t.co/57PUw9xJFU

Congratulations to UK physicist Mark Thomson on becoming the @CERN DG. His biggest job will be to persuade Cern members to pay £12bn for a new even larger supercollider to discover the particles that make up 95% of the missing mass of the Universe. https://t.co/0fWZ2Cbf6w

[Iron Maiden @IronMaiden]

Monday 21st October 2024

We are all deeply saddened to learn about the passing of Paul Di'Anno earlier today. Paul's contribution to Iron Maiden was immense and helped set us on the path we have been travelling as a band for almost five decades. His pioneering presence as a frontman and vocalist, both on stage and on our first two albums, will be very fondly remembered not just by us, but by fans around the world.

“It’s just so sad he’s gone,” comments Steve Harris. “I was in touch with him only recently as we texted each other about West Ham and their ups and downs. At least he was still gigging until recently, it was something that kept him going, to be out there whenever he could. He will be missed by us all. Rest in peace mate ⚒⚒.”

We were very grateful to have had the chance to catch up a couple of years ago and to spend time with him once more. On behalf of the band, Rod and Andy, and the whole Iron Maiden team, we extend our deepest sympathies to Paul's family and close friends. Rest In Peace Paul.

We've just released the "brainmapper" widget allowing analysis of cellular distributions in whole-brain microscopy images entirely within @napari_imaging.

[Paul Ayris @ucylpay]

Honoured to be giving an opening keynote today at the UCL ARC Festival. Collaborations between ARC [Advanced Research Computing] & the UCL Open Science Office are key. @UCLLibraries @UCL_Culture @UCLopenscience @profgeraintrees @AnthonySmithVP

[Prof Allison Littlejohn @allisonl]

Thoughtful keynote at the UCL Festival of Digital Research & Scholarship by Paul Ayris @ucylpay outlining the importance of Open Science and the achievements of @UCLpress in making knowledge openly available as the first university press to be fully open.

[SWC @SWC_Neuro]

Meet our Neuroinformatics Unit! Driven by an open science ethos, the team of research software engineers work closely with SWC and @GatsbyUCL researchers to build tools that improve data organisation, refine analysis pipelines, and more: https://t.co/4CGs2MfOgx @swc_niu

Comprehensive analysis of local and nonlocal amplitudes in the B⁰→K*⁰μ⁺μ⁻ decay https://t.co/36fBzW2gnp - The Wilson Coefficients C₁₀, C'₉ and C'₁₀ are all in better agreement than C₉ with the Standard Model and the global significance is at the level of 1.5σ.

CERN gets tail wind:

“Should the CERN Member States determine the FCC-ee is likely to be CERN’s next world-leading research facility.., the United States intends to collaborate on its construction and physics exploitation...”

What an incredible evening we had last night, with not a spare seat in the house!

A great way to be able to launch his new book, Space Oddities: the mysterious anomalies challenging our understanding of the universe

We'd like to introduce movement, a free and open-source Python 🐍 package for analysing body movements, designed to aid the study of animal behaviour in neuroscience.

Processing neuroanatomy data in @napari_imaging? You may find brainrender-napari (https://t.co/coin3dS9tL) useful.

We're slowly porting the original brainrender to napari to provide a consistent neuroanatomy data analysis and visualisation environment.
