Every conversation with non academics 😭

The indiscriminate and ill-conceived slashing of indirects by the NIH yesterday must be amended if want to restore America’s leadership role biomedical research. 15% simply isn’t enough for institutions to provide the basic infrastructure needed to run a successful lab. I say

Rejection from #CVPR2025 ☹️ but we were close! 22% acceptance. Excellent work by my student, Yuan Sun! The feedback will make it better. Let's go!

This innate motivation is fluid and requires the right level of maturity, timing, and topic resonance. However, most people never get there.

Huge thanks to Profs Kristin Dana-Clark, #DarioPompili, Anand Sarwate, Jorge Ortiz, Daniel Burbano & #BokyungKim for an incredible Faculty Debate last week! 🎤👏 Engaging discussions, great turnout, and a fantastic event by Rutgers ECE GSA. #ECECommunity #AcademiaVsIndustry

I mention this in my recent interview with WSJ (wsj.com/tech/ai/artifi…) and blog post (medium.com/@jortiz81/next…). More work needed on composite systems with constraint checkers and training methods that discourage "stealth hallucinations."

Happy that Andy Konwinski is spearheading this effort! Especially today, this is filling a massive gap for research and broader societal progress!
