Today, we are proud to release Rainflow! 🌈⛈️☔️ Rainflow is a Desktop application for macOS designed to help researchers with reproducible analysis and integration of their Flow Cytometry data. Rainflow is available on the App Store now: apps.apple.com/us/app/rainflo…

Researchers at Endeavor Health and Northwestern University have created an artificial intelligence-based tool to help doctors recognize an underdiagnosed, often fatal respiratory syndrome found in critically ill hospital patients. trib.al/CQgZAi5

We're proud to share that lab member @Tulachin's work on automating ARDS detection was published in @NatureComms! The team developed an NLP/machine learning-based algorithm that can outperform clinicians in identifying this life-threatening ICU condition. doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

A study identifies the footprint of entities cooperating to produce scientific fraud at scale, including paper mills and brokers. The number of fraudulent publications is growing far faster than legitimate publications. In PNAS: ow.ly/CHkM50WBuLX

Today our lab presented two posters at CoDEx, hosted by @Northwestern_IT !

‘Patent mills’ sell scientists inventorship of bizarre medical devices - crazier and crazier - via @cathleenogrady | Science | AAAS science.org/content/articl…

Congrats @spencercodes on a great thesis seminar!

"@ScienceMagazine and Retraction Watch’s investigation suggests authors, journals, and institutions all benefit from the scheme, which floods the literature with poor-quality publications and casts doubt on metrics of scholarly output and impact." science.org/content/articl…

Often find myself thinking of this great paper by @AmaralLab back in 2018 on why most of the genome is ignored journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar… And came across this gem from last year on 'unknowmics' by Sean Munro @CellBiol_MRCLMB x.com/MRC_LMB/status…

Scientists Develop Approach to Accurately Predict Pneumonia Outcomes - Machine-learning approach using health records identifies five pneumonia ‘states’ with predictable prognoses. news.feinberg.northwestern.edu/2024/11/06/sci…

Our own Reese Richardson just defended his PhD thesis and received his program's Outstanding Dissertation award! Way to go, Dr. Richardson! 🎊 Thanks to the big event, we finally have an updated lab photo! Some people could not make it and were scaled up by 1000% as penance. 😊

We hope you give it a read! Article (paywalled): doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2… News release: mccormick.northwestern.edu/news/articles/…

🌍Broader Impact: This work represents a significant step towards more nuanced, data-informed approaches to ICU patient management, potentially improving mortality prediction and resource allocation in healthcare systems worldwide.

📢 Exciting New Publication Alert! 🫁 "Robust Extraction of Pneumonia-Associated Clinical States from Electronic Health Records" by Feihong Xu, Félix Morales and Luís Amaral has just been published in the PNAS! doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2… 🧵

Congratulations to Reese Richardson on his successful PhD defense. For a youngster 😛 he’s already had a huge impact on research integrity. 🥂 reeserichardson.blog/2024/10/15/the…
