Organoids + AI is the convergence everyone in the field is watching right now. ML is being used to stabilize culture conditions, segment morphology in real time, and integrate imaging with spatial omics.

Not all organoids are created equal — and that's exactly the problem.
Some look like this: perfect spheres, uniform, reproducible. Others? Amoeboid. Star-shaped. Irregular. Without standardized morphology assessment protocols, we can't tell signal from noise.
AI-assisted imaging may have the answer.
Today I ran the Morris Water Maze — mice navigate a pool to find a hidden platform using spatial memory. In autism research, these mice show altered exploration and learning. Animal models are imperfect mirrors, but they're how we start to understand.
They will learn very quickly that this doesn't make the problem go away

Israel and Hamas manage a ceasefire yet NYU continues it's war against people sitting on benches.
screenshot: Second, while cognitive science is best described as having embraced a representational paradigm, there is a line of research that is moving in a different direction and that has generated considerable controversy. Dynamical systems theory is alleged to offer a framework for understanding cognitive processes that differs greatly from both the classical computational tradition and connectionism. One of the key differences emphasized by many dynamicists is their rejection of representation as an explanatory posit. This claim, in turn, has generated a wave of pro-representational advocacy.
I know it doesn't matter, but I am so confused by this idea floating around that a dynamical systems approach is somehow without representations. It is not how I nor many other computational neuroscientists I know would think of these things. www.cambridge.org/core/books/r...
Wow. I don’t know how, but today is a lot worse than I expected it to be
So evil
I thought I'd be hearing more about this on here
Israeli forces have killed at least 82 people in Gaza, medical sources told Al Jazeera, including at least 30 people in Gaza City in the hours since Hamas and Israel announced they had reached a ceasefire agreement.

People are angry at a health insurance industry which denies people the care they desperately need while Big Pharma makes billions and billions of dollars in profit.
The time is long overdue to guarantee healthcare to every man, woman, and child in this country.
This Gaiman stuff is horrible. Awful what he did. No way can I look at his books the same
If you have to have people sign an NDA about what you did, like… wtf. Glad people came forward
The masterclass episode where he talks about “courage” with his kids is so f***ed now after reading that article
This is basically how I settled on doing computer vision for climate problems

Israel's relentless attacks across Gaza continue to worsen the humanitarian situation, with Doctors Without Borders warning of a 'catastrophic situation' for patients as hospitals run out of fuel for power generators.

Jeff Bezos’ two private jets spent nearly 25 days in the air over a 12-month period and emitted as much carbon as the average US Amazon employee would in 207 years. Carlos Slim took 92 trips in his private jet, equivalent to circling the globe five times. The Walton family, heirs of the Walmart retail chain, own three superyachts that in one year produced as much carbon as around 1,714 Walmart shop workers.
It cites this Oxfam report, which contains some insane statistics.
...and people say individual lifestyle choices can't impact climate change!
