🎧🎼1/ דברים יפים לשבת בבוקר: ג׳וני מיטשל, המלכה האם, בת 80, אחרי שבץ, ועדיין מסווינגה לשיר הזה את הצורה בטקס פרס גרשווין (לאלטון וברני). היא כתבה מילים חדשות ויצא לה אחד הקאברים הכי נהדרים ששמעתי מזה זמן. אהבתי איך שאנני וברנדי והלהקה שומרות על השיר שלא יתפרק כי נדמה לרגע שכן
Replying to @efraimleaf
10/ האלבום Mingus שלה יצא והנה Goodbye Pork Pie Hat שגם התחלנו איתו. קטע שנכתב במקור לזכרו של לסטר יאנג, האיש והכובע. הנה ג׳וני מיטשל, עם להקה מהחלומות (מת׳יני, לייל מאייס, פסטוריוס, מייקל ברקר) מבצעת את זה ופשוט שרה לא פחות ממדהים (והפלירטוט של המוסיקה שלה עם ג׳אז תמיד קסם לי):

"Because we had this large dataset to work with, we could really chart how babies’ brains change in the first few days and weeks of life." -- @arokem on how new software is changing our understanding of human brain development washington.edu/news/2023/09/…
Cool and encouraging work by @pearsekeane and colleagues (including @uw's own incredible @aaronylee and members of his group!), demonstrating that domain-specific self-supervised learning can create a basis (foundation, if you will...) for a range of specific tasks in that domain

🚨🚨 New paper alert 🚨🚨
Introducing RETFound, a foundation model for ophthalmology
We’re super excited about this and hope it will act as a #Cornerstone for global efforts to prevent blindness through #AI

An incredibly fun and fruitful collaboration that started over zoom and email back in the midst of 2020 COVID lockdowns. Large publicly available datasets like @DevelopingHCP enable a plethora of analysis approaches, uncovering novel basic findings about human brain development.
Excited to share our new work now out in PNAS: We used the dHCP data to show that white matter myelinates faster in utero than ex utero. This difference in myelination rate, in turn, explains the reduced myelin content seen in infants born preterm. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2303491…

Do you wish you knew how to peer into the white matter? This course introduces basics of tract-based analysis, presenting software that can segment white matter into different major bundles and compare different approaches to statistical analysis of white matter tracts.
