I am now hiring a PhD student in deep learning for medical images, for our DDLS (data driven life science) project on early detection of lung cancer. Application deadline May 15. liu.se/en/work-at-l...

A weird feeling to tell your PhD supervisor that you are now professor

Helt rätt, man hinner knappt forska pga all administration www.sydsvenskan.se/lund/forskar...

Are you aware of any shared synthetic neuroimaging datasets? Let me know.

So I'm debugging my CUDA installation using a language model, trained on thousands of GPUs requiring CUDA 🤔

Vibe coding is fun, I feel like a PhD student again when I dont understand my results

Exciting

New PhD grant youtu.be/LeRoQhsEmME?...

If you apply for a job within a few months of starting another one, please explain why in the application

BME@LiU is a day filled with activities related to the field of biomedical engineering (BME) at Linköping University (LiU), Sweden. From invited and contributed talks, to posters, exhibitions, and mingling. These activities reach out to all researchers, companies, liu.se/en/research/...

Reviewing PhD student applications...

Is there a way to go from fMRI ICA maps to a list of words that are most relevant for those maps?

Now this is a movie plot!!! Someone understands grad school.

When you discuss a topic with Gemini, it mentions your paper but summarizes it incorrectly

Is it a new trend that job applicants want to have a meeting BEFORE they apply??

I have finally come to the point where I cannot find one of my computers

I wrote about Clawdbot/Moltbot/OpenClaw and Moltbook, the fascinating, weird and sometimes even useful social network for digital assistants to swap tips and gossip with each other simonwillison.net/2026/Jan/30/...

Somebody created an Reddit clone exclusively populated by personal digital agents and let them interact with each other. It’s bonkers, fascinating and terrifying in equal measure. www.forbes.com/sites/amirhu...

A useful thing about MoltBook is that it provides a visceral sense of how weird a "take-off" scenario might look if one happened for real MoltBook itself is more of an artifact of AI shared roleplaying (not new), but it gives people a vision of the world where things get very strange, very fast.

I'm hysterically laughing at so many of those posts (from the terror)

Will I give a lecture or not?

Thinking of all the hours I spent on rejected grant applications, could have spent them on social media instead

Applying to the same funding agency after 16 straight rejections, am I stupid or persistent?

Submitted application for promotion to professor, included 37 attachments. Got the feedback that they want some more attachments, so ended up with 47.

When you realize that your poster from 2006 is still up at the university

Are you OK reviewer 2??

Im now looking for a postdoc in AI-Driven Precision Orthopaedics. We have huge datasets and plenty of GPUs. liu.se/en/research/...

They gentrified the tinfoil hat

Happy birthday my new hair, 6 months

Started 2025 with several grant rejections as usual but ended up with 4 approved applications, best year so far. Thank you Claude and Gemini.

Any language models which can handle pdfs larger than 100 MB (3000 pages) ?

Too bad I threw away a bag of RAM sticks, lost a fortune...

Another grant approved, makes 4 in 2025

When the paper you spent 6 years on finally gets a citation

Just reviewed a paper which shared data and code on Google drive 🤔

Fina minnen

How would you react as a reviewer if you review a paper with 4 types of data from two groups, and the group comparison using each type of data is done in a (slightly) different statistical way?

How common is it to do the data analysis as a PI?

Did not make it to step 2 for ERC, meaning that part B2 (14 pages) was never read 🥲

Grant funded, more than 4 years since the last big grant. More than enough to hire a PhD student.

Trying to get funding for AI research in medicine Technical funding agencies: you have not published in NeurIPS and ICML Medical funding agencies: you have not published in medical journals

How do you deal with grant rejections when the researchers who got grants have substantially weaker CV than yourself?
