Expert explanations via video: The key to unlocking scientific journal articles for STEM students?

Scientific research papers are complex, dense, and filled with jargon, so traditionally the valuable knowledge they contain has been accessible to only a handful of experts. SAGE publishing, one of the world’s largest academic publishers, and Dr. Adam Frost, a cognitive neuroscientist, independently created video formats that help scientists directly communicate their discoveries and practices […]

Hypothesis transfer in medical image analysis

Recent years have seen a wealth of clinical evidence accumulate in favor of the radiomics hypothesis, wherein standard-issue oncological medical images, such as CTs, PET-CTs and MRIs, exhibit reliable fingerprints of cancer tumor genetic makeup, enabling predictions of patient prognosis, treatment resistance and side effects to be made directly from an analysis of imaging data. […]
