Our story with @morpheus_lab has been more fortunate, but I can fully relate to this. Research software engineers #RSE are essential parts of science and need to be treated as such. Kudos to @petebankhead for this story and to his fantastic software @QuPath!
A small number of people know the real background story to @QuPath, but most don't.
I didn't plan to ever tell it publicly, until a Google Alert today caught my eye.
A thread about open science & academia π (1/n)
Job alert: Postdoc position in Biomedical Deep Learning available @IMB_TUDresden - my former employer. Task: Develop innovative machine learning methods on real-world medical data. Check it out.

Working at the intersection of #AI and #Health? Here some overview articles I found useful:

agree, nvtop is very useful. github.com/Syllo/nvtop
Just discovered a #gemforgeeks: a htop like monitor of @NVIDIADC #GPUs. Super helpful to see that @TensorFlow is allocating RAM from all devices it can grab, but apparently only uses 3/4 GPUs. Thanks #Syllo: github.com/Syllo/nvtop #OpenSourceSavesTheWorld

Hereβs a blog reporting on our hackathon work predicting the Elbe river flow and uncertainties using ConvLSTMs. Written by Lennart Schmidt.
Thanks, I much appreciate the praise. For those looking for an in-depth report of one of the "most accurate" teams, see the prequel blog post on high tide predictions of the Elbe river with #AI mlcdresden.gitlab.io/pages/2β¦

I recommend you @morpheus_lab those type of simulations can be run with very little effort. You can start here: morpheus.gitlab.io/blog/2018β¦
For the tissue modelers tweeps among you: @morpheus_lab is tweeting on our workshop / hackathon on standardization of multicellular models.
This workshop/hackaton is part of our multicell standardization project "MultiCellML", funded by BMBF e:Med Systems Medicine.
