This fall, I'll probably take a "harm-reduction" approach to LLMs in the big 1st-year lecture course I'm co-teaching. The course requires us to teach writing, and I don't think it's possible to eliminate AI use, so I'll combine measures to discourage or mitigate it. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

We co-wrote this paper and would love some feedback from NHS staff involved in bed management for others' thoughts on its potential practical utility in practice (no knowledge of maths necessary!)

Thank you Kit, still lots to learn from you and hospital work. Very honoured to be your co- author in this project.
Delighted to report that a paper I co-authored with @tasalk.bsky.social has been accepted for publication.
It will be open access, thanks to the support of @essexuni.bsky.social.
Preprint available (minor revisions since then).
Excited now to move on to phase 2, validating the model!

We used DL characterize sectored colonies in yeast.
They sometimes get ignored but have SUCH RICH information we worked to make it easier to study them.
This work was funded by the Joint DMS/NIGMS Initiative to Support Research at the Interface of the Biological and Mathematical Sciences. :D
