We're proud to share that lab member @Tulachin's work on automating ARDS detection was published in @NatureComms!
The team developed an NLP/machine learning-based algorithm that can outperform clinicians in identifying this life-threatening ICU condition.

A study identifies the footprint of entities cooperating to produce scientific fraud at scale, including paper mills and brokers. The number of fraudulent publications is growing far faster than legitimate publications. In PNAS: ow.ly/CHkM50WBuLX
ALT Publication interactions among individuals flagged for retractions and/or PubPeer comments at PLOS ONE. Every individual is shown as a circle whose size is proportional to the number of accepted articles that they handled as editor (range of 1 to 852 articles).

"@ScienceMagazine and Retraction Watch’s investigation suggests authors, journals, and institutions all benefit from the scheme, which floods the literature with poor-quality publications and casts doubt on metrics of scholarly output and impact." science.org/content/article/…

Often find myself thinking of this great paper by @AmaralLab back in 2018 on why most of the genome is ignored

Our own Reese Richardson just defended his PhD thesis and received his program's Outstanding Dissertation award! Way to go, Dr. Richardson! 🎊
Thanks to the big event, we finally have an updated lab photo! Some people could not make it and were scaled up by 1000% as penance. 😊
📢 Exciting New Publication Alert! 🫁
"Robust Extraction of Pneumonia-Associated Clinical States from Electronic Health Records" by Feihong Xu, Félix Morales and Luís Amaral has just been published in the PNAS!
doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2417688… 🧵
🌍Broader Impact: This work represents a significant step towards more nuanced, data-informed approaches to ICU patient management, potentially improving mortality prediction and resource allocation in healthcare systems worldwide.
We hope you give it a read!
