💻 Day 2 AAI4Science summit has been full of activity! Participants dug deep in to design discussions, coding blocks, and a participant-led unconference. The questions taking shape go right to the heart of what #OpenSource is all about, and it's exciting to watch them develop. 👀 #AIFuturesLab

🌟 The Gateway is a place to make new connections & develop deeper ones. This matters, because BIDS initiatives are designed in collaboration with domain experts across campus, our global open source communities, & BIDS data scientists & software engineers. We are thrilled to be part of this future!

@ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social featured Prof. @dbamman.bsky.social in its 101 in 101 video series, where he talked about how he uses computational methods to analyze books, films and music, to reveal patterns in storytelling, representation and cultural change across the ages.
