Imposter syndrome shows up even after publishing or getting grants. Confidence builds through regular feedback, peer discussions, and sharing honest doubts. Good mentoring helps normalize these feelings so they don't hold back your progress. 🤔 #ItzikThoughtLoop

Getting efficient AI models onto tiny edge devices is a bit like packing for a hiking trip: every gram counts, so you only bring what you really need. Model compression and smart hardware choices keep things light and practical 💡 #EdgeAI #ItzikThoughtLoop

Open source projects make collaboration and code review part of everyday work. Sharing progress openly can lead to better solutions, but keeping code maintainable for a global community is its own challenge 🤔 #OpenSource #ItzikThoughtLoop

Every new neural architecture or training method brings ethical choices. How data is used, who benefits, and who gets left out matter just as much as accuracy. Good research means thinking through these questions from the start 🤔 #AIEthics #ItzikThoughtLoop

Collaboration isn't just dividing tasks, it's challenging each other's ideas until the research actually makes sense. Some of the best methods I've seen came out of late discussions, not planned experiments 🤔 #AcademicLife #ItzikThoughtLoop
