They buried the lede on this new study. It's not that exercise beats out SSRIs for depression treatment, but that *just* dancing has the largest effect of *any treatment* for depression.
That's kind of beautiful.

Talk: "Digital Twins for Ambient and Embodied Surgical AI"
NSF CAREER + NIH Trailblazer awardee. His lab sits at the intersection of CV, robotics, AR, and clinical decision-making.
Digital twins that model the OR in real time — surgical AI that doesn't just observe, but anticipates. 🤖🏥

Matmos tour scene report: for the last two nights we played bills in Italy w the divine @lucreciadalt and her tight af band; today: a walk through the Friulian vineyards and a dip in the pool- tonight we fly onwards to shows in Lisbon, Braga & then Barcelona for Primavera Sound
"Biology is moving into an era where patents might not be the moat at all. starting to look like software IP. In software, code is patentable in theory but nobody cares lol distribution, brand, execution speed, and ecosystem are the moats."
it is a patent lapse strategy.
Canada has the Patented Medicines Prices Review Board (PMPRB). It caps prices on patented drugs. Unpatented branded drugs aren't subject to it.
By letting CA 2601784 lapse, Novo escaped PMPRB regulation on Ozempic and Wegovy.
@_eleanorina Yale has ~6.5k undergrads + almost 9k grad/prof students. It also has museums, libraries, research labs, and other facilities that all require staffing. This narrative is counterproductive.
White Sox Twitter is a fuckin’ great hang. It’s like a psychotic townie bar where they allow smoking cigs inside and everyone shows up for a beer even if there’s a tornado outside.
In addition to the workshop, we are hosting a multimodal Theory of Mind challenge. Winner of each track will receive $3k Lambda credits! Submission due by May 3. Challenge page: https://t.co/jx39K1uyvE
A small fraction of online actors now exerts outsized influence over what the public sees, believes, and argues about.
In a new short review paper, we trace how social media influencers can turn fringe claims into viral narratives—often by exploiting a feedback loop between influencers, algorithms, and crowds.
As such, the modern information environment enables a tyranny of the minority: extreme and coordinated voices dominate attention, distort perceived social norms, and create a “funhouse mirror” version of public opinion that makes fringe positions look common and conflict look inevitable.
We synthesize emerging evidence that a tiny number of highly active users drives a disproportionate share of misinformation and toxicity, and explain how platform incentives reward moralized, identity-salient, and emotionally charged content.
We conclude by outlining pragmatic responses—individual, institutional, and policy-level—and by highlighting how generative AI could either accelerate bespoke realities or help rebuild shared understanding, depending on how these systems are designed and governed. https://t.co/9oZRF8y8mL
We (@PillaiRaunak & @steverathje2) reviewed @noUpside's fantastic book "INVISIBLE RULERS" and connected it to the research we have been doing on this topic for the past decade.
For those attending AACR26 in San Diego, I will demonstrate how CODA can map whole tumors, organs, and organisms in 3D and at single-cell resolution.
I will also show how CODA can integrate spatial transcriptomics, spatial proteomics, IHC, IMC, etc.

Detection of metastatic burden in mouse models should be done in 3D and at single-cell resolution.
The solution is CODA, a workflow that maps organs, tumors and mets exhaustively, in 3D, and at single-cell resolution.

Important work by Hopkins colleagues Profs Sean Sun and Jude Philip on how microplastics affect gene expression and associated cell growth and motility in vitro and in vivo.

#HopkinsBME Professor @NTrayanova and cardiologist @JonChrispinMD are creating digital replicas of patients' hearts, and testing procedures on those twins before performing them on the real thing. 🫀

New paper from Kiemen and Wirtz groups.
Using a new workflow, we map the 3D spatial distribution of immune cells in the vicinity of precancerous lesions.
These maps reveals localized immune remodeling during early pancreatic cancer progression.
