Congratulations Robert Bilkovski, MD, MBA; John Beard; Sakari Lamminmäki, and our own Karen K. Giuliano, PhD, RN, MBA, FAAN on the reach of your research! It's wonderful that the article, "Comparative analysis of signal accuracy of three SpO2 monitors during motion and low perfusion conditions" has been read by so many thus far.

Have you ever considered using a Dome-Osteotomy or heard of a Stepped-Dome-Osteotomy? The contemporary fields of use of a Dome-Osteotomy compared to a single-cut are described and visualized in this highly interesting paper by Christoph Zindel in Nature Scientific Reports!

New Principal Investigators: you're not alone! Our latest blog explores the unexpected challenges and feelings of isolation faced by new PIs, drawing from a 2018 Science article from Elisabeth Pain (https://lnkd.in/e2B7t2CY). Learn how to navigate the transition from collaborative researcher to lab leader and find out how Lumos Scientific can support you in managing these complexities. https://lnkd.in/exKsikPJ

Some of the questions we will be thinking about at #SciFM24. Feel free to add yours in the comments section. 1. What are some characteristics of problems that make them suitable to be described by foundation models? 2. How do we conceive of and construct foundation models for problems in which no clear “building blocks” exist (in contrast to areas such as materials science)? 3. Is it possible for foundation models to produce Nobel prize-type discovery of new phenomena as this usually goes against conventional wisdom? Would it be able to produce a hypothesis contrary to most data that it is likely to see? 4. What [really] is emergence? How do we better better understand the factors that determine emergent properties in large models? 5. What are the scaling laws to describe the dependency on factors such as training data size, feature dimension, computational resources, and structure and size of model?  6. Methods for training models when the inference objectives are abstract, ill-specified, or misaligned 7. Methods to develop trust in Foundation Models 8. Mathematical challenges and solution strategies for training large models given limited energy, computation, and  memory 9. Mathematical characterization of the effect of data imbalance on accuracy and generalizability, especially with regard to exceedingly rare events and other phenomena in the tails of the training distribution.  10. What are the new mathematical and statistical frameworks that embody human-like properties of reasoning, insight, creativity, and critical judgment that could enable models to postulate well beyond the data used to train them?

Here's my first publication! "Analysis of electrograms peak frequency during ventricular tachicardia ablation. Insights into human tridimensional ventricular tachycardia circuits". Many thanks to Dr. Filippo Maria Cauti, Prof. Paolo Della Bella, and Dr. Nicolò Martini for allowing me to contribute to this very interesting work and for all the knowledge you have shared with me throughout this journey.
