Researchers introduce SPAN, a framework for gigapixel histopathology image analysis that keeps spatial relationships while focusing on informative areas. This method outperforms existing techniques, connecting digital pathology with advanced computer vision. https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.09333

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.

And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...
USDA accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is now trying to rehire them

Reassortment continues to produce novel genotypes. Recently reported HPAI H5N6 viruses with internal genes from H9N2 have increase pathogenicity in mice, and can transmit by aerosols = pose a greater threat to human health
