Impressive life science research that would not have been possible w/o machine vision #AI (that they developed)

Aftershock on aftershocks.😉
Remember the recent @nature paper using deep learning #AI to predict aftershocks after an earthquake?
Well, this one under the heading "Matters Arising," says it ain't so, by @ArnaudMignan and Marco Broccardo

@nature @ArnaudMignan Aftershock after the prior aftershocks
nature.com/articles/s4158…
response from the original paper's author, along with original paper and @NatureNV nature.com/magazine-asset…
@nature @ArnaudMignan @NatureNV And, likewise, going back to the earthquakes:
"we demonstrate that simpler models seem to offer similar predictive powers, if not better ones."

On red meat: "this is sure to be controversial"
5 systematic reviews, including 100's of studies, millions of participants, RCTs, show little evidence for adverse #cancer or cardiovascular outcomes
annals.org/aim/fullarticl…
@AnnalsofIM ★editorial- 6 papers
@aaronecarroll @DrTiff_
@AnnalsofIM @aaronecarroll @DrTiff_ @IUMedSchool The 6 papers/guidelines are all #openaccess
annals.org/aim/latest
This does indeed fulfill the Dunning–Kruger effect
(The less people know, the more they actually think they know) owing, in part, to poor methodology/analysis/bias of #diet studies
@AnnalsofIM @aaronecarroll @DrTiff_ @IUMedSchool What a wacky day for #diet research:
1. Red meat may not be so bad for health risk, after all? (I haven't had for ~40 yrs)
2. ⬆️vegetarian diet by increasing choices; see @PNASNews by @eegarnett89 @MarteauTM
3. Cooked plant food ->⬆️ gut #microbiome diversity @NatureMicrobiol

Africa generates less than 1% of world’s research.

Africa has 79 scientists per million compared to Brazil (656), Chile (428) & United States (4,500).

South Africa’s research foundation and Tunisia’s science ministry are the biggest funders of #science #research in Africa. /1
Woeful Africa:
1. 15% of the world’s population
2. 25% of the global burden of disease
3. 1% of global investment in R&D
4. 0.1% of the world’s patents

Scientists trained in Africa most likely work elsewhere due to lack of infrastructure and resources. /2

#science #research
More than 80% of patents filled in Nigeria are by foreign entities. /3

AI has met a fork in the road; which path will dominate?

While pure #AI, or open API, will soon allow #robots to become more human-like, pragmatic AI is alive well today and driving true business transformation

Charlie Rose interviews…a robot?

What happens when Charlie Rose attempts to interview a #robot named "#Sophia" for his 60 Minutes report on #ArtificialIntelligence (#AI)

#ArtificialIntelligence positioned to be a game-changer

It might not be long before machines begin thinking for themselves -- creatively, independently, and sometimes with better judgment than a human

#AI is massively transforming our world, but there's one thing it cannot do: LOVE.

"AI is serendipity," Lee says. "It is here to liberate us from routine jobs, and it is here to remind us what it is that makes us human."

Dr. Kai-Fu Lee, one of the world’s most respected experts on AI & China, former President of Google China, Author of:

AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order

reveals that China has suddenly caught up to the US at an astonishingly rapid and unexpected pace

Are you interested in basic #molecularbiology #research in #Europe, but lacking insights on the top institutes with a twitter presence? Search no more – this thread features a selection of Europe’s leading molecular biology hubs to follow. 👩‍🔬👨🏿‍🔬👩🏼‍🔬
The ‘mother of molecular biology institutes’ first, the #MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (usually called ‘The LMB’) in #Cambridge. Dubbed the #NobelPrize Factory, I consider it a ‘must-follow’ for any biologist on twitter. | @MRC_LMB
The European Molecular Biology Laboratory in #Heidelberg is associated with #EMBO. Alongside the LMB, ‘EMBL’ is the flagship of molecular biology research in Europe – and expanding, with branches in #Hinxton, #Monterotondo, #Grenoble, #Hamburg and #Barcelona. | @EMBL

Yesterday I had a pointless discussion with TRAs who couldn't understand why any study on transgender people that doesn't account for homosexuality as a variable is flawed. It's because whenever it is accounted for, this happens 👇
This study was reported in the media under such headlines as "Transgender people’s brain activity matches gender identity, not biological sex". Study wasn't linked, and unless you have access to PubMed and the original journal, you won't be able to read it. However
When you do get to read the article, one thing immediately jumps out:
"Most transgirls and all adolescent cisgender girls were androphilic and all transboys and adolescent cisgender boys reported to be gynephilic".

It’s #WorldSleepDay

Sleep is absolutely essential to your physical and mental health.

Sleep’s rhythms underpin everything you do, ensuring your brain and body are working at their best.

But we’re often bad at recognising that, and prioritising sleep in our lives
If you’ve had the right amount of good quality sleep, you should be waking physically and mentally ready to tackle the day ahead

#WorldSleepDay
... many of us don’t feel that way though, especially on a weekday!

Most adults in the UK get about an hour’s less sleep than they need ... the equivalent of missing an entire night of sleep every week!
