I’m testing out syndicating notes directly from my website to social media like Bluesky. Hopefully this works and any replies will appear on my site! (https://adamsaunders.net/notes/2025/11/10/2025-11-09_bluesky_syndication/)

Dr. Jing Zhang is using AI to reconstruct fragmented archaeological materials at the 1st International Workshop on Spatial Intelligence for Cultural Heritage at #CVPR2025. Super cool work on such a difficult problem!

Starting off the morning at #CVPR2025 with “the coolest project going on with @vandyvaliant.bsky.social” - imaging mummies to learn about health and aging from our past with Dr. Van Schaik!

#PhD #MedicalImaging @cvprconference.bsky.social @elyssamcmaster.bsky.social
A slide states “What can skeletal remains from the past teach us about today? And tell us about health in the future?”
