Very happy that this paper is out!

TLDR: you can embed a detailed mechanistic model of a small metabolic network (eg the methionine cycle) inside a Bayesian statistical model, then make pretty good predictions based on measurements, even with bad kinetic parameter info.

See this work by Groves et al. in which they introduce Maud (@teddygroves, @ScienceCluster, @novonordiskfond):

Bayesian Regression Facilitates Quantitative Modeling of Cell Metabolism

Check it out right here ➡️ https://t.co/aQyFQufcAS

Recordings of StanCon '24 are now released on @mcmc_stan's youtube channel!

These talks are a wonderful snapshot of the applied and methodological work happening in the Stan, and more broadly, Bayesian community.

(1/4) Our new preprint: a metagenome binner TaxVAMB that uses taxonomic labels to create better bins. In a nutshell, TaxVAMB is great for small number of samples, incomplete genomes and non-bacterial entities @AiCentreDK @Metabolcenter https://t.co/xQflAo4ws7

Please circulate: we're hiring a postdoctoral research associate with expertise in philosophy of scientific method and philosophy of causality. Apply here: https://t.co/rl2f8uq89o. A 2nd postdoc job, for someone with expertise in evidence review and research methods, coming soon.

Our article in Nature Communications! https://t.co/l1px8wjoU0 our DL tool Taxometer can improve taxonomy annotations for metagenome contigs using binning features and hierarchical loss, bridging the gap between taxonomy and binning

We're making a game where you play a courier rider in 13th century Mongolia

No combat, just you, the horse(s) you've tamed, bred and trained and the vast wilderness.

Would you play this?

[Colin Carroll @colindcarroll]

Excited that our paper "Scalable spatiotemporal prediction with Bayesian neural fields" (led by Feras Saad) was just published: https://t.co/YmyjwTheID

There is also a python library at https://t.co/4XzKBGE7aZ - give it a try if you've got some spatiotemporal problems!

[Teddy Groves @teddygroves]

This is true but beware, this book may permanently scar your brain with the words “moist millimeter”

StanCon '24 starts in 8 days!!

The full schedule is now up: https://t.co/wKW1syC2wv, and gives a great snapshot of the problems people are solving with and around Stan.

[Richard McElreath 🐈‍⬛ @rlmcelreath]

Almost nothing scales linearly with population. Fun example: What if instead of scaling Olympic medals by population, we did some math? Chance p each of N is elite, then 1–(1–p)^N is prob at least 1 person is elite. Repeat for each event/slot. Fit to data:

As a country we must never forget exactly how bad the London 2012 closing ceremony was.

horrifying racial violence in cities & towns right across this wretched country.

THIS IS NOT NEW.

racist pogroms against Black & Asian ppl in port towns in 1919, in Liverpool 1948, in Notting Hill & Nottingham 1958, in Oldham, Burnley, Bradford in 2001, echo our awful present

[Michael Caley @MC_of_A]

a penalty given for a foul after the shot!

this game is truly about what can be, unburdened by what has been

[James Greig @jamesdgreig]

It’s gladdened my heart to see so many prominent figures on the Labour right be tetchy, defensive and oddly embittered about winning a large majority instead of just smugly triumphant

[Liam Bright @lastpositivist]

Cameron and Osborne have got away remarkably lightly in the public imagination for just how awful a thing austerity was. It wasn't a flashy and dramatic moment of violence, it was a slow insidious sort that killed many and made lives so much worse, all based on junk economics.

This spring I had a chance to teach a 3-week course on "Bayesian Modelling & Probabilistic Programming with Numpyro" for the "AI for Science" MSc at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (@AIMSacza), SA🇿🇦. Lecture notes (some to be finalised): https://t.co/Mc9BjM3jtr

[Teddy Groves @teddygroves]

I really enjoyed this: lots of facts about woods, found out what coppice and pollard meant, some nice hopeful politics 👍

[worm from home @WormFromHome]

WAR AND THE WOODS: episode one is out now! the first in a series exploring woodlands, warfare, the histories they share - and the story of how a woodland came to grow in bethnal green

[Teddy Groves @teddygroves]

Makes it very clear what is going on and what both sides stand for!

[Teddy Groves @teddygroves]

I think one reason university protests work well is that they reliably produce distilled authoritarian responses like this: “sitins are intrinsically violent and beating up those who take part is fine as long as a rule was broken. This is all ~prudentially speaking, you see!”

[Jennifer A. Frey @jennfrey]

As usual, I both agree and disagree with Michael. If protestors do not abide by the rules, and refuse to move, they are by definition breaking the peace on campus. The bar for peaceful isn't set at refusal to engage in direct violence.
