The more conversations I have about the role of AI in academic education and research, the more I want to yell this poem at people. @academicchatter #highered #writing #academia

One more very successful open day of the life science dept. Our students, engineers and postdocs explained their own work, the department & @bsc-cns.bsky.social All with a personal & welcoming touch. Thanks to them, to the @bioinfo4women.bsky.social organised and all the many visitors!!

If you like modern AI with latent diffusion + flow matching, take a look at [1] well before latent diffusion, you will see how natural variation can arise naturally from statistical laws built with PDEs, continuum mechanics, + Bayesian priors that arise from these operators+their Green's functions.

I can't* fathom why the top picture, and not the bottom picture, is the standard diagram for an autoencoder. The whole idea of an autoencoder is that you complete a round trip and seek cycle consistency—why lay out the network linearly?

Lab retreat to beautiful Sylvenstein lake (Little Canada in Upper Bavaria), with lots of interesting scientific discussions, hackathon, speed science-dating, team building and fun despite rainy conditions. Quick walk during rain break, mountain hike postponed to hopefully more sunny departure day!

Wow. Some authors hit a new low… www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Ortega y Pacheco, el origen, la inspiración. "Ortega" lo saqué de una película de serie Z llamada "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-up Zombies". Ortega era el criado deforme de Madam Estrella, una bruja que mataba adolescentes en la feria.

🤖 AI is shifting the writing map A study of 1M+ abstracts shows global academic writing is getting more complex and more equal. China now leads in writing quality, helped by AI tools and better internet access. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #SciComm #AI #EduSky #AcademicSky 🧪

🧪 The entire Fulbright Board resigned, citing the Trump administration's alleged usurpation of authority and denial of selected recipients. They assert these actions contradict the Fulbright-Hays Act and undermine the program's bipartisan mission. #AcademicSky

⭐️ El doblatge en català de Bola de Drac és més que una adaptació: és cultura, identitat i un fenomen generacional. Va normalitzar el català a la TV, va unir una generació i ens va demostrar que l'entreteniment pot ser també una eina de cohesió i llengua. Un llegat inesborrable.

How academics imagine their lives would look like if they decide to work in tech

Contrary to popular belief, what is important in science is as much its spirit as its product: it is as much the openmindedness, the primacy of criticism, the submission to the unforeseen, however upsetting, as the result, however new that may be. – Francois Jacob www.nature.com/articles/s41...
