My professional career has been spent creating novel ways to analyse data and creating and leading rich, complex biomedical information systems that bridge the gaps between medicine, genetics, genomics, systems biology. Because of my work thousands of babies were born healthy 1/
You know you're old when your first instinct is to use a regex to parse something out of a json file, instead of, you know, an actual json parser in Python.
An amazing person and scientist. Just terrible news. He was a warm and giving person, the world is just reduced.

BTW @FedEx @FedExHelp these were the photos that were shown that were NOT at my address. I know this isn't my house because that is not my 'front door' ground, -- I don't have concrete like that there -- but geez, can they take better pictures anyway?

I understand completely. You're not over-reacting. I lost my dog in November. She absolutely ran the house on a timetable and she cared for us every day. I have the most difficult time thinking about her and keeping myself together.
@FedEx @FedExHelp Then I get a call at 7:49 this AM from your customer service @fedex cannot go and put in an inquiry into my package until @1800flowers puts in an inquiry but spending many hours on the phone with you and @1800flowers and vendor cannot initiate an inquiry.
Replying to @FedEx

Pretty absurd that chatGPT has passed the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE).
Today, it takes 4 years of med school and 2+ years of clinical rotations to pass. It tests ambiguous scenarios & closely-related differential diagnoses
medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The cited article (which has not been peer-reviewed) does not conclude that ChatGPT had “passed” the USMLE, as has been stated in this tweet.
Rather, the results approached passing but did not meet/reach it, with accuracy for Step 1 68.0%, Step 2CK 58.3%, and Step 3 62.4%. t.co/GGKbYfeUFR

White parents: please talk to your children about anti-Blackness. Ask them how they treat Black children and if they’ve ever heard or participated in racist behavior. I continue to see Black children who are suicidal because of racist bullying 😭1/2

Memories...My first personal *ix workstation was a Am486 processor I built in grad school in 1997 and had to compile my own Linux kernel to support the motherboard. Learned Unix & programming in the 80s as I was setting up local services like Usenet, MU* and IRC. #retrocomputing

In my experience, this has been said for about twenty years. It will never go away.

From another perspective: I have friends who absolutely hate the taste of chocolate. Pas pour tout le monde. 🤷♀️
Replying to @GntlmnScientist
Yup. I hire MS folks in bioinformatics. Sometimes not even in bioinformatics fields to start.
Heard from a friend that the entire USA research site for EMD-Serono was axed. All 150 people laid off. No news currently released though that I can find. Hope they're wrong. @EMDSerono
