LLMs have helped speed up and improve the quality of engineering new features and fixing bugs. For us, they're power tools that help skilled people work more effectively - in the same way that circular saws, nail guns and CNC machines help properly trained people build things in the physical world.

This article seems to celebrate the shift from poor support for #software #engineers in research to pretending they aren't needed at all. Did we spend 2 decades consolidating fragmented software ecosystems into platforms only to see them dissolve through "vibe coding"? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I am happy to share that the main story of my PhD is now available as a preprint! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We analyses over 8500 neurons in a songbird basal ganglia dataset. To explore this and two other stories more interactively, also check out our website! www.songbird-connectomics.org

The songbird basal ganglia connectome

The basal ganglia (BG) play an essential role in shaping vertebrate behavior, ranging from motor learning to emotions, but comprehensive maps of their canonical synaptic architecture are missing. In m...

It was a privilege to develop the website to showcase the release of this basal ganglia connectome! Congratulations to everyone involved 😊🎉 Check out interactive 3D models, analysis you can perform in your browser, & our interactive matrices; all on the website! songbird-connectomics.org

Long story short: PRISM has the potential to solve the connectomics reconstruction bottleneck for good. Fantastic collaboration with E11, MIT, and the Crick!

E11 Bio is excited to unveil PRISM technology for mapping brain wiring with simple light microscopes. Today, brain mapping in humans and other mammals is bottlenecked by accurate neuron tracing. PRISM uses molecular ID codes and AI to help neurons trace themselves. Read more: e11.bio/blog/prism
