The design bureau ferdio has made a much prettier version: https://datavizproject.com/


But it doesn't link to any implementations as far as I can tell. It just asks you to hire Ferdio.


Neural networks are just used for prediction, not inference.


There have been twin studies that show genetics plays a huge part in schizophrenia and ADHD.

It's well known that trauma plays a part, but it is obviously not the whole story.

What absolute bullshit. All congenital disease is natural. That doesn't mean patients should suffer. We treat children for mental illness, because we have comprehensive studies that shows it improves their life.


This doesn't work, if you need expose patients to a novel drug to gather data.


The era of medicine where we administer a 100 mg pill of a small molecule to 3000 patients, calculate a P value and release it for sale is dead. There's a huge industry, so it's not aware of its death yet, but the research world has moved on. I think the paradigm will be based around deep understanding of the genomics, proteomics, histology, spatial distribution of the problem in the body, and licensing for sale platforms that produce custom proteins, T cells, small molecules, <intervention of choice>, designed on the fly. It's 30 years out, but if you're betting the bank on a small molecule in a phase 3 trial, that model is only going to hold up for so long.


This doesn't work for data gathered on humans, which has to be kept private.

Unless you have implemented some new method, I don't see why the code would be of any interest.


Because instead of vaguely describing what I did I can show you exactly what I did.

Instead of saying "we normalized the counts", I can show you EXACTLY what that was that I did.

If I can't see your code I don't trust you.

I think it's cleaner, more honest, more reproducible, and it helps teach younger researchers.

ps. Huge amounts of "human" data are normally public and available for anyone to work with, it's only specific subsets that need to be private.
