Currently waiting on my 44th flight of the year and questioning my life choices.
Happy morning @HHMIJanelia! Today is going to be a great day.
Getting a lot of “Which lab do you work in?” this week. Is it such a stretch to think I might be running a lab and have for over seven years? (Wondering what to ask instead? I try and ask “What do you do here?” if I’m trying to figure out someone’s role. It could be anything!)
Fantastic piece about the importance of subjective decisions and the different situations when humans make them that we can’t yet outsource to AI.
i wrote about why understanding meaningmaking (the act of making subjective decisions about relative value) is nearly universally overlooked but essential for building useful and commercially viable AI applications. uncertaintymindset.substack.com/p/meaningmakin…
Good morning @HHMIJanelia! It’s going to be a great day.
So true.
"One of the most important things as a scientist is that you have to be an optimist. If you’re a pessimist, a failed experiment will tell you that the whole idea is bad and you’ll quit. When you fail you have to continue." - chemistry laureate Richard Henderson's advice.
Excited to be in Konstanz for a week and a half to think about principles that apply across scales to collective behaviors!
So happy to have @AllysonSgro from @HHMIJanelia presenting on cellular collective behavior . Today we covered so many aspects of how cells give rise to emergent behaviors @CBehav
Looks like I am now enjoying an extra night in Dresden after #chemt24 because I had a connection through Munich. Tips for Saturday fun here? reuters.com/world/europe/m…
