a.k.a. why I'm barely even scrolling Twitter these days 🤢 One more post in the style of "ChatGPT-4 has revolutionised the world...🌍 but only 0.5% of people use it to save 99% of their time...⌛ here's a few tips from a renowned AI expert (who opened the Kaggle page once...)" 😩

@HenriquesLab
Let me twist this around: would you rather hire a post-doc who has a Harvard PhD but worked on a single technique for the entire training OR a person from a less hyped institution who did a multidisciplinary PhD & learned coding, CS, microscopy, data analysis & wet-lab skills...?

Hi 👋 I'm Kristina & I let my super smart computer 💻 tell me why some cells divide really fast & have many children, while some cells divide much slower 🧫. I think it's because their parents tell them so, but who's got the evidence? ➡️ graphical abstract

The worst thing that can (and will) happen is no response🚫. The best thing that can (and will) happen is when they DO respond... 💬 If ➕vely, that's amazing - you potentially found a PI match! If ➖vely, that's even better - you just eradicated a toxic person from your life! 🤩

📚 Busy refining my

hypothesis ⤵️
💭 Can you train a
#DeepLearning
#model
📈 to predict
#cell
#cycling
duration⏳ from individual cell images❓
- 🔬 Time-lapse imaging ✅
- 👣 Cell detection & tracking ✅
- 💻 Data collection ✅
- Rest? ➡️ Work in progress! 🚧👷♀️🏗️
Task = based on visual appearance, how long will a specific cell take to divide?
@KristinaUlicna
#PhD
work in progress!
Trying to train a DL model that can regress/predict cell cycle time.
Supply tiny cell image crop + 'answers' i.e. labels > train model = supervised learning
