It's #Microscopy Monday! Under certain conditions, a mutant strain of budding yeast forms ‘comets’ that move autonomously across the surface of the media, highlighting a striking display of multicellular behavior in this unicellular organism. @Halfmann_Megan (@HalfmannLab)

One of the sustained rays of light over the last two years has been editing a book on the evolution of multicellularity with @peterlconlin and @xprinceps. Our goal with here is to provide a broad overview of the topic- a one stop shop for those entering the field. 1/32

Yesterday I released "Sinuous Rills", a video I've been working on, where I use machine learning models to illustrate the poem "Kubla Khan". It's slightly too long for Twitter's video limits, so you'll have to watch on Youtube: youtu.be/Jbn1aJuarIU

Course it could all be bollocks, because the person saying it is himself someone who doesn't care about truth. Haha! What fun. A festival of bullshitters.

Have you been taught that neural networks are black boxes? That you can't interpret/explain what they learn? This is a common misconception. This blog post demonstrates how to design neural networks that are truly transparent, and hence interpretable. ryansaxe.com/transparency/20…

Sometimes we need to call on extra developers (android/iphone/web/database) or pass on work that's not quite in our scope. We're looking to build a little list of new people - if you have these skills, want to work open source and for purpose, let us know here or DM.

Here in Italy people started to share this figure claiming that this is the diagram of the 5G chip that has been inserted in the covid vaccine. In reality it is the electric circuit of a guitar pedal and I believe that putting it in the covid vaccine has been an excellent idea💡
