It took us many years to improve idtracker.ai in both accuracy and tracking time. Here it is.

I don't really understand why a table of contributions is bad. It seems like a straightforward way to give credit to people whose work contributed to the paper in different ways.

Mathematics in Biology Biology has turned into a quantitative science. The core problems in the life sciences today involve complex systems that require mathematical expression, ye...

If you're planning a course with mathematical methods content, or use such methods in your own work, please take a look at "Mathematics in Biology", by Meister, Lee, and Portugues, published at MIT Press. 1/2 @portugueslab.bsky.social mitpress.mit.edu/978026204940...

Greatly deserved! Congratulations!

Unforgettable trip to Lisbon! Packed with amazing food, wine, science, art, sightseeing, and a healthy dose of exercise! Huge thanks to my hosts @ribeirocarlitos.bsky.social at Champalimaud and Razmik Panossian at the Gulbenkian Foundation for the warm welcome.

The latest paper from the Chiappe lab is out!! Congrats @merterginkaya.bsky.social and everyone involved - now you definitely have to come visit Lisbon so we can celebrate!🥳 @champalimaudr.bsky.social

Neural microexons modulate arousal states via cAMP signalling in zebrafish Arousal states, often dysregulated in neurodevelopmental disorders, shape how organisms perceive and respond to their environment. Here, we show that srrm3, a master regulator of neural microexons, is...

Neural microexons fine-tune protein function - but how do they impact arousal states and underlying neuronal signaling pathways?

It is hard to imagine a more prescient compilation than 1992's Artificial Intelligence, not just in terms of the careers of the contributing artists, but how the featured sounds have permeated popular culture over the last 30 years.

I think the more rewarding goal would be to get closer to @andrewtanyongyi.bsky.social 's judgements than to the average.

A beautifully curated resource for zebrafish research enabled by NIH funding.

Clinical assessment is the gold standard for autism diagnosis, and by using amply pre-trained language models paired with a suitable interpretability strategy, thenative analysis of clinical intuition itself is now possible, guided by detailed observational text reports from clinicians. This interpretable language model framework identified repetitive and stereotyped behaviors as being empirically more relevant for autism diagnosis than social signs in the reports, motivating the possible revision of existing diagnostic instruments.

Trained language model finds repetitive behaviors and special interests are more indicative of an autism diagnosis than a lack of social skills. https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(25)00213-2

Guinness WR is claiming a new record for the most digits of pi recalled in one minute at 280 (www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-record...). Congratulations - however, it might need an update, as here is a video of Owen reciting 350: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL-j... @guinnessworldrecords.com

For anyone concerned about the unlabeled horizontal axis, it should read 'Basic humanity (arbitrary units)'.

Chart showing amount of 2020 campaign materials devoted to disability rights. Sanders, Warren, Buttigieg and Klobuchar are far ahead of all candidates, with Trump and Biden at 0.

In light of the attack on protections for children with disabilities, I share this chart I made of the amount of attention given to this topic (which should be a winning one for any party) by 2020 presidential candidates.

It is full of bizarre nonsense like this, that shows the compilers had no understanding of what they were reading. What an embarrassment!

I found almost immediately one which funds development of a light-sheet microscope for imaging brains. Why is this problematic to Ted Cruz? Because the authors say that by reducing costs for this technology the methods will become more accessible to a wider community.
