Another great meeting #AMPath25
Glad to be able to talk about our #BodyOfKnowledge series that puts #ClinicalBioinformatics on the map for laboratories.
#Grateful to have worked with a talented and passionate group of people who care deeply about the field.

Here is the link to the series for anyone interested: https://www.amp.org/clinical-practice/body-of-knowledge-for-the-clinical-bioinformatician/

A great meeting with some stories that sounded like #ScienceFiction, but they're just #Science

See you next year in Seattle, WA

#AMPath2025

Second day at #AMPath2025
Great talks by many pushing the boundaries of current testing practices to benefit patients

First day at #AMPath2025 in Boston!
What a start!
The plenary sessions by #ElaineMardis, #OlaLandgren and #WalterLipkin were outstanding.
Looking forward to the next couple of days.

Journal editors struggling to find reviewers — there are some bloody good reasons why

I used to think it was merely a post-COVID19 hiccough, but the extensive delays in receiving reviews for submitted manuscripts that I am seeing near constantly now are the symptoms of a much larger problem. That problem is, in a nutshell, how awfully journals are treating both authors and reviewers these days. I regularly hear stories from editors handling my papers, as well as…

These are some #NIH grants that have been canceled. Pediatric research? #Alzheimer's? #Covid? Pregnancy & assault? If anyone thinks they aren't affected by #RFK's idiocy, they are living in Lala land.

In this link, researchers describe the work, its benefits, & the impact of its termination. Read it & weep & then write, call, vote, protest -- but don't back down! If anyone thinks it's happening to "them" & not you, think again.

Federal Grant Cuts in Researchers’ Own Words (opinion)

Researchers whose federal grants have been terminated since the start of the Trump administration describe some of the myriad impacts.

Fascinating!
"We found that large language models were better able to predict shared brain activity compared with different features of language [...] This suggests important similarities between the brain and artificial neural networks."

AIs encode language like brains do − opening a window on human conversations

Brains encode language by matching words to patterns of activity. Large language models can do the same thing.
