#phdstudentlife When your PhD project is a niche yet crucial area of PhD this happens #everydamntime 😂 Friend: so what’s exactly is your PhD on ? Me: synthetic data pipelines in medical data applied to massive public health databases 😅 Friend:

Many sea stars begin life as young fairy-like creature (called a brachiolaria) that float through the open ocean. Eventually, a small star forms within them (here in yellow). The fairy-like brachiolaria sinks under the star’s weight, and the star pops out! 🎥@the_story_of_a_biologist (on Insta)

The AuDHD paradox : getting diagnosed with a condition in which 1 of the symptoms is communication difficulties, and being forced to endure a lot of bureaucracy to assure your disability gets respected by society 🤦‍♀️ #audhdparadoxes “Here’s your diagnosis, now go talk with a bunch of people”

“Ai is the new frontier…it engulfs terabytes of data to give you insights”…. The internet is full of BS. We’ve known it for ages, ai systems are only multiplying it 100x. If you don’t heavily curate your dataset with experts your system will produce more bs. That simple #internetisaseaofbots

I hate windows 11 and copilot 😑 there I said it. Medical data is extremely sensitive and not being able to be sure that copilot is not screen capturing a pc is a major security concern. Microsoft did not think about this at all. Or maybe they did and we’re on “big brother is watching you world” 🤦‍♀️

My Autistic and ADHD mind is not a disease, it’s who I am. Autistic people and AuDHD people don’t need a cure, we need a world that doesn’t want to enforce “normalcy” on us 24/7. Low support or high support needs, we’re all people with our own individuality. #actuallyautistic

LLMs in Healthcare…what separates accuracy from medical quackery? 0.001% of Training Tokens with Misinformation
Link to the Paper: It is undeniable that tech is putting its eyes on healthcare and the gigantic amounts of data it produces. But are tech and the current waves of AI ready to tackle the issues medicine presents and is the current wave of Large Language Models (LLMs) able to deal with the bias in data and the medical misinformation that prevails online?

AI, Data Science and The New World of Misinformation
I know, the headlines since the 20th January 2025 look like from 1984 tech version of dystopia... Billionaires wasting billions of dollars and precious energy in megalomaniacal AI projects with limited ability to actually help people and an enormous ability to manipulate them and hurt them. It's not the greatest of times to call yourself a data scientist...when you're getting mixed with snake oil salesman, outright liars and people that disregard public health and safety in the name of money.

The biggest weapon in 2025 is not a massive military one. It’s misinformation. Pick on society, make them distrust all systems that keep them alive (science, democracy, medicine, education) and watch them slowly destroy themselves. Sit down, and watch the 💩 show. #1984timeline
