    Want to learn #ML & #DeepLearning 🤖🧠 for #Radiology in an interactive way? Come join us at the #RSNA21 #DeepLearningLab in the Lakeside Learning Center (Level 3) - we've got 1️⃣5️⃣ sessions planned!! 😲🥳 I'll be highlighting them over the next few days.
    Sessions run in Google Colab. You will need your own laptop and a Google account. The Chrome browser is recommended.

    Thanks to @TDataScience for publishing my exploration of the #StanfordMLGroup MRNet data. Originally a means of imparting some domain knowledge to my @fastdotai teammates, I hope others benefit too. @mattlungrenMD @AndrewYNg @curtlanglotz @StanfordAIMI

    Today was my last day as an attending neuroradiologist @DukeNeurorad. I am so grateful for the lifelong friends I’ve made and the opportunities I’ve had as I’ve started my career here.
    A bittersweet goodbye to our friend @walterfwiggins , who is leaving @DukeRadiology for new adventures. May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back.

    Unreal...my last day of formal #MedEd training. 13 yrs in the making. Immense #gratitude for my family & all patients, teachers, mentors & colleagues I’ve met on this journey. Though this phase is ending, my work @DukeRadiology has only just begun. #RadTwitter #MedTwitter

    I didn’t quite get what I wanted for #FathersDay… my little girl is still in the hospital tonight. But my wife and I are hopeful we’ll get to take her home tomorrow. Would be the best #anniversary present. #CHD #arrhythmia

    I’m excited to join @RadKottler ‘s AI & Innovation team @Rad_Partners in January. They’ve really set the curve in AI validation & clinical integration, so I’m excited to learn from them & help out where I can with what comes next.

    I may have missed this but what’s next for you, Walter?

    Fellow attendings, if you really want to #ThankAResident properly, one or more of these is a step in the right direction: • Buy dinner on-call or breakfast on a weekend • Take them out for coffee/drinks • Take them for a hike/run/round of golf • Get to know them as people

    Little plug here for #nbdev from the lovely folks @fastdotai. I love it! This is how I learned Python and how I used to develop my own code in @ProjectJupyter notebooks, only much better. Thanks @jeremyphoward @GuggerSylvain! See below to get started. fast.ai/2019/12/02/nbd…
