Our academic donation program is still open. Please send your requests with a quick description our way and accelerate your research in graphics and ML
Thanks to @intel for these early Christmas presents. We are looking forward to test what they can do in a scientific environment. Maybe using @PyTorch for training our #SkyGAN models or rendering with @CyclesRenderer in #Blender3d. 🖥️⛅️ 📷🧑🔬

Does your (EU) country attract or lose top researchers? AT, CH attract a lot. FR, DE, BE, ES are open places: as many leave as arrive. IE is a closed system. Italy, there is something very wrong: *very* few come, many go. Plot made with @ERC_Research data.

@stevenstrogatz My friend @DrDa5id made a style file for problem sets that's very feature-rich: you include the answers in the same TeX source and can turn them on/off, you can have the answers flipped upside down, etc. Available at https://t.co/ZCkXXeabEe

Have you ever heard of seismology of Jupiter? This set of blurred stripped black-and-white pictures of Jupiter represents a large part of my professional life... and it deals with seismic studies of Jupiter. Thread. 1/24
Our team has been working overnight the past several weeks on the JIVE. In collaboration with France and Japan, scientist are working to determine the interior structure and composition of Jupiter using seismology. Wrapping up their run, here is one of the images captured.
