My professional career has been spent creating novel ways to analyse data and creating and leading rich, complex biomedical information systems that bridge the gaps between medicine, genetics, genomics, systems biology. Because of my work thousands of babies were born healthy 1/
You know you're old when your first instinct is to use a regex to parse something out of a json file, instead of, you know, an actual json parser in Python.

Replying to @FedEx
@FedEx @FedExHelp you lost TWO perishable Valentine's Day flower shipments from @1800flowers. First mis-delivered 2/8 & you located it 8hr later, flowers browned :(. Replacement mis-delivered AGAIN 2/9 still missing and hours on the phone with you and vendor, everyon'es like🤷♀️
BTW @FedEx @FedExHelp these were the photos that were shown that were NOT at my address. I know this isn't my house because that is not my 'front door' ground, -- I don't have concrete like that there -- but geez, can they take better pictures anyway?
I just discovered this website, and it's pretty neat. paperswithcode.com/

Pretty absurd that chatGPT has passed the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE).
Today, it takes 4 years of med school and 2+ years of clinical rotations to pass. It tests ambiguous scenarios & closely-related differential diagnoses
medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The cited article (which has not been peer-reviewed) does not conclude that ChatGPT had “passed” the USMLE, as has been stated in this tweet.
Rather, the results approached passing but did not meet/reach it, with accuracy for Step 1 68.0%, Step 2CK 58.3%, and Step 3 62.4%. t.co/GGKbYfeUFR

White parents: please talk to your children about anti-Blackness. Ask them how they treat Black children and if they’ve ever heard or participated in racist behavior. I continue to see Black children who are suicidal because of racist bullying 😭1/2
Heard from a friend that the entire USA research site for EMD-Serono was axed. All 150 people laid off. No news currently released though that I can find. Hope they're wrong. @EMDSerono

ALT Figure 1. The timeline of gene discovery in the epilepsies, including 126 manually reviewed genes across the three main eras of epilepsy gene discovery including the Channelopathy era, the Dark Ages, and the Genomic Era. Of note, not all genes contributing to the timeline are highlighted, but they are listed in a Supplement. The inset on the left highlights genes official review by our ClinGen Epilepsy Gene Curation Expert Panel (GCEP). Please note that this is v2 of the 2023 timeline and that future iterations may follow.

Children dying from Strep throat and other immune consequences
This virus season has been like no other with high hospitalization rates from RSV, Influenza and now more children are dying from Strep A bacterial infections. This long thread looks at what might be going on.🧵1/
