- Introducing VoxelPrompt, an agent-driven model that can tackle a landscape of diverse radiological tasks, extending far beyond those addressed by today’s specialized models. VoxelPrompt addresses complex objectives with a solution grounded in interpretable vision operations. Paper: lnkd.in/ezWSX6zQ

- Reposted by Adrian DalcaWe’ve tried to shelter our minds but tonight we’re preparing for the genocide of Science. Entire NIH departments will have no leaders. World renowned Scientists kicked to the curb without cause, & grants will loose their lead investigators. Is this what they want? Chaos? Destruction?

- Reposted by Adrian DalcaFor decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

- Reposted by Adrian DalcaSo. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

- Reposted by Adrian DalcaPutting RFK Jr. in charge of the nation’s public health is a huge mistake. When dangerous diseases resurface and people can’t access lifesaving vaccines, all Americans will suffer — and RFK Jr.’s family could keep getting richer thanks to his serious conflicts of interest.

- Reposted by Adrian DalcaLet's create an #MRI researcher starter pack! There are a couple that are neuroimaging-based, but not really the method development community. I started putting together a few profiles, but please spread the word and tell me who else to add. If there is already one, let me know! go.bsky.app/EVqd6peat://did:plc:kk6ezaeyhzwv4dw6ewykkmy3/app.bsky.graph.starterpack/3lbcakrck4h2n
