Ed Lein @AllenInstitute talking @humancellatlas general meeting on single cell brain atlases - exciting: mouse whole brain cell atlas is nearly complete in terms of sequencing, but annotation will take „a number of years to come“ - calls for ideas on #ML automation I feel!

@Muzz_Haniffa beautifully arguing that collaboration does make sense in science, in particular in @humancellatlas

What you can’t see @humancellatlas general meeting stream. Christoph @BockLab and team organized a beautiful venue - check out the main hall ceiling. Vienna …

Sarah @teichlab speaking about HCA’s state @humancellatlas and how it contributed to understanding Covid-19.

Aviv Regev @humancellatlas about its timeline - wow, it’s been already 6 years!..

@humancellatlas general meeting 2022 just being opened by Christoph @BockLab. Fun+work ahead :)

On train to @humancellatlas general meeting at Vienna - been looking fwd to this for some time, will be great catching up again!

Really fun PI retreat from @CompHealthMuc @HelmholtzMunich - currently with science speed dating - so much catching up to do!

@discovAIR_HCA consortium meeting @HelmholtzMunich - thanks everyone for coming by, really enjoyed discussions and exciting results towards a lung cell atlas and queries thereof for various disease settings!

Rooftop dinner at our @HelmholtzMunich SAB meeting - good food and discussions

Snapshot of @IdoAmitLab cupboard, with giveaways of their conferences - looking forward to another of these fun workshops again!

@MatthiasTschop speaking about how to educate the next gen of biotech startup leaders @HelmholtzMunich @helmholtz_en Innovation Summit.

Nadav Tamir @PeresCenter at podium discussion on innovation for peace, citing Simon Peres: need to keep ,a critical mind and a hopeful heart‘.

Otmar Wiestler @helmholtz_en kicking off our Helmholtz Innovation Summit on AI for global impact at beautiful Peres Center for Peace in Tel Aviv.

At Peres Center for Peace (in his study room) - big dream of using science, tech and innovation to help achieve peace.

Entrepreneurship at Tel Aviv, picked up at morning run&swim w @MatthiasTschop & @holger_gerhardt. Visiting Israel for @helmholtz_en innovation summit on ‚AI for global impact‘.

Interesting perspective by @mmbronstein @gradientpub on the future of graph NNs beyond message passing and why the “geometry” of graphs may be either too poor or too rich, so thinking of graphs as discretisation of cont system may be useful. thegradient.pub/graph-neural-n…

Rode the bike from south of Munich to Bressano across the main Alps ridge - strenuous; most fun stop was when I asked a local whether the water from a closeby fountain was drinkable and he just stared at me, uncomprehending: ‚All water here is drinkable‘ 🤩

Ivo Sbalzarini @ivos99 @tudresden_de giving the 2nd keynote at #HelmholtzAIcon about data-driven modeling in embryogenesis - learning PDE structures directly from 3d microscopy movies using stability selection.

@GuidoJuckeland kicking off day 2 at #HelmholtzAIcon presenting the @helmholtz_ai consulting concept - our way of democratizing access to #AI. This is actually working out - 169 consulting jobs done with @helmholtz_en scientists within the first 3 years!

#HelmholtzAIcon lightning poster talks - dynamic and exciting topics eg using AI for food security or for population estimation from space 🤩

Panel discussion at #helmholtzAIcon on fair & trustworthy AI, w Mrinalini Kochupillai @KochupillaiM, Ralph Müller-Pfefferkorn @tudresden_de & Kirill Bykov @TUBerlin, led by @HeidiBaya. (one) conclusion: learn about ethics, data management etc. not only about next hot ML method...

Exciting and impactful work @helmholtz_ai #HelmholtzAIcon by Shijie Jiang @UFZ_de on using explainable AI to identify flooding mechanisms in Europe - with worrying conclusions on impact of climate change.

@xiaoxiang_zhu kicking off #helmholtzAIcon at beautiful Dresden. So great to see so many colleagues across @helmholtz_en and beyond f2f!

Greetings from beautiful Dresden - looking forward to today‘s @helmholtz_ai conference 2022!

Just got my 9€ ticket @MVGticker - pays for a whole month of local public transport across all of Germany, nice! 🌻

Submitted a collaborative grant to @dfg_public today online - then had to print out a receipt after adding our digital signatures and send it by snail mail…

Roland Eils @CaptainSysBio @berlinnovation presenting in our @CompHealthMuc seminar today about getting from data to clinically actionable knowledge - and he actually dared to say big data more than once 🔫

Exciting second day @singlecellomics Spatial Workshop, with tutorials by @vitaliikl on cell2location and @aalmaander on her integration tool eggplant. Then Johanna Klughammer @GeneCenter_LMU wrapping the afternoon with important outlook. Thanks everyone for joining!
