🎶 Music promotes brain development in premature infants 👶
A team funded by the SNSF can now demonstrate which regions of the brain 🧠 play a role in this phenomenon. Their aim is to use AI to automate exposure to music in neonatal units.

A 67 year old amputee and wheelchair user lived with his son who had cerebral palsy.
They were killed in the Eaton fire while waiting for an ambulance that never arrived.
Many disabled people can not evacuate on their own. They need to be included in evacuation plans (yet almost never are)

(1st post @BlueSky) Preprint alert🚨a long thread. Cautions in the use of @nanopore sequencing to map DNA modifications: officially reported “accuracy” ≠ reliable mapping in real applications. We performed a critical assessment of nanopore sequencing (across different versions of models) for the 1/n
