ML & Computational Biology Lead @ Biolojic Design: using AI to design antibody therapeutics. Previously a neuroscientist researching brain networks and memory.
On a personal note, I am proud to be a part of this effort by the whole Biolojic Design team. Multibodies can be a game-changer to medical treatments across a variety of clinical fields, and I am looking forward to seeing them improve patients' lives soon.
Ever notice medial parietal cortex in neuroimaging studies of episodic memory and wonder what's going on there?
In our preprint (biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…) we identify interleaving subregions responsive to memory-decisions vs semantic content during recognition within individuals.
One of the best things on Twitter just started again - "live tweets" from World War II, following the war in real time (from September 1, 1939). Highly recommended. x.com/RealTimeWWII
Come join us in Philly! @epstein_lab@Penn has postdoc openings on NIH-funded projects that use advanced fMRI methods to investigate the neural basis of cognitive maps (broadly defined), spatial navigation, and spatial/nonspatial memory in humans. Collaboration with @NoraNewcombe
1/9 Paper is out rdcu.be/cNHoL
Here's some takeaways including new tidbits (good & bad!) since the preprint & even after the paper was accepted.
Large sample sizes are helpful for individual-level prediction. We have known that for quite some time, but the recent...
1/5 Our new preprint doi.org/10.1101/2020.08.10.2… uses meta-learning to boost functional connectivity based prediction of *NEW* phenotypes in small samples. We achieve 100%-400% improvements in many scenarios!

🚨9 DAYS UNTIL APPLICATIONS CLOSE FOR 2022🚨
Join us for our second annual #gradschool recruitment & mentorship weekend for #URM & #firstgen students interested in the mind sciences in collaboration with
@PennMindCORE.
Reply with any questions you may have about the event!
New preprint @PsyArXiv from @LinChujun & me! "Fooled by beautiful #data: #Visualization aesthetics bias trust in science, news, and social media." Across 4 studies, we show that people (mis)place more trust in more beautiful graphs. Paper: psyarxiv.com/dnr9s/ Explainer 🧵👇
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: You must cross-validate sorted plots!! E.g. peak-latency sorted colormaps of neural activity. Otherwise you WILL find "sequences" out of random noise. Don't believe me? A proof in four lines. Anyone feel like you have seen the last panel before?
