When you can watch an entire series with a thoroughly unlikeable main character, you know the director and actor have done an amazing job!
Also, the attention to detail in the set pieces somehow manages to capture the beauty of that time and place without empty sentimentality, brilliant

If successful for drug delivery, this could be really be helpful for minimizing adverse effects of treatment for infections… question is, can it get into a non-vascular space? (Ie abscesses or granulomas)…and can it be done cheaply so that we all can use it?
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a #Microrobot capable of transporting drugs to specific locations within the body, with the potential for use in #Hospitals in the near future.

Thank you @tedpak.bsky.social for publishing the code for the LLM medical concept extractor you built for our recent paper! 2 things make this significant: a) This isn’t done enough in translational research and b) it’s designed for general use (ie Dockerized). Superb!

D'Angelo's music oeuvre is incredible but it was his song Africa that changed my entire perspective about what is possible with music. The acoustic demo version lifted the song to a new level, which I didn't think was possible.
