The full scientific program for the 10th Annual ISDS is here! Here's a session you'll want to bookmark: PSO's Circa 2024, moderated by Lawrence G. Lenke, MD. When are PSO’s necessary for deformity correction and optimal constructs? Discuss where and how PSO’s should be done to optimize correction and safety, how to avoid neurological complications, and a Special Lecture by Steven Glassman on Intraop Hypotension correlating with Complications.

As part of RareCan's new Trial Matching service our team are having lots of conversations with people with rare and less common types of cancer about phase 1 trials. (As well as about later phase trials...) Coming from a non cancer background, I used to think of phase 1 trials only involving healthy volunteers. Here our Chief Scientific Officer Andy Hall talks about why phase 1 cancer trials involve patients. #cancer #cancerresearch #clinicaltrials

🌍November 10 marks the #𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭—a day to recognize science’s vital role in promoting peace and development. At a time of increasing global conflicts, this day reminds us of our power as scientists to drive positive change. Join in celebrating this day with a special webinar on 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦, a right even claimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. #HumanRights #RightToScience

I've designed a fun quiz! - UK, Minnesota, North Carolina Top Trumps! https://lnkd.in/gQ4Q_5hb Take our quiz and then sign up to our complementary webinar in collaboration with Blue Link Worldwide to learn more about the scientific and technological opportunities of these regions for life science companies !

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?
