Yes, there's "accessible" in my group's title. Come at me, Trump!

Just kidding, don't come at me, except if you're looking for a job in biomedical AI. Hiring at all levels, up to 100% of E13.

If you're enthusiastic about science and open source, consider applying! Please help spread the word. :)

Applying LLMs to biomedical research today can go one of two ways: we either use a closed-source web app, or we get coding ourselves. Many researchers lack training for the latter, so their only choice is the former. We want to change that. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Ich meine das mit dem Aufruf zum Wählen übrigens ernst. Laut Forsa könnten wir 28% (!) Nicht-Wähler_innen haben. Liebe Wissenschaftler_innen, liebe Wissenschaftsinstitutionen: Euch hören viele zu. Erinnert sie, wie wichtig Wählen ist. Für unsere Demokratie. & ermuntert sie, Botschaft weiterzutragen!

The workflow of using GridScore starting with the trial setup which is then shared using QR codes. People can then use the app on their phone to collect data in the field and look at specialised data visualizations all while the app keeps the data synchronised across all devices. Finally, the data can be exported into various formats.
