Within a couple of years, AI will have to be a standard & required tool in the daily clinical practice of doctors. Millions of people are misdiagnosed or receive incorrect treatments each year & AI is the only reliable way to prevent this. In fact, not using AI may eventually become malpractice.

For me, the greatest gift this holiday season has been the exhilarating realization that every problem we once thought was incredibly challenging is on the verge of being solvable!

Happy holidays all! 🎉🎊🎄

🧠 We have measured the speed of thought

Researchers measured human thought at 10 bits/s – far slower than our sensory systems, which gather 1 billion bits/s, equivalent to streaming 125 MB of data per second.

The unbearable slowness of being: Why do we live at 10 bits/s?
Zheng and Meister write about the paradoxical slowness of human behavior. Although our senses gather data at 109 bits/s, our overall information throughput is only 10 bits/s. This stark contrast touches on many fundamental aspects of brain function.

I am excited to share our study showing how the immune system strikes a delicate balance between tolerating food and defending against helminth infections.

Identification of antigen-presenting cell–T cell interactions driving immune responses to food
The intestinal immune system must concomitantly tolerate food and commensals and protect against pathogens. Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) orchestrate these immune responses by presenting luminal ant...

Danger theory is one of the most important paradigms in immunology. This review provides an excellent revisitation of the theory, complete with historical context that younger immunologists might not be familiar with—not mentioned is how a sheepdog inspired Polly Matzinger this concept.☺️

A few more letters... and we can finally write amino acid sequence with protein structure encoded by amino acid sequence? 🧬🤔😀

In brokenness, a soul takes flight,
Through fragile lines, there blooms the light.
For where life cracks, resilience stays,
Reborn in fractured, endless ways.
