The annual UC Health conference is a great place to connect with colleagues, both from Michigan and across the UC system.

- UCLA/Riverside/Davis efforts around health equity

Meta’s Llama 3.3 is multilingual. It technically supports English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Hindi, Spanish, and Thai, but it was trained on many others, including Punjabi!
