We're going to find out the results of the first @FathomNet @kaggle competition today during the @fgvcworkshop workshop, presented by @BioinspirLab's #EricOrenstein. Join us! kaggle.com/competitions/f… 2/
So excited to be here at #CVPR2023 with the @BioinspirLab + @OceanVisionAI + @FathomNet long-time collaborators. I'll be between @fgvcworkshop #CV4Animals #OpenWorldTracking sessions today. So much amazing content @CVPR!! Check out my keynote 👇 if #ocean #imaging is your jam. 1/
Thank you @MBARI_News for highlighting the work of the @BioinspirLab as part of your #MeetMBARI series. 🙏🏽 #onwardsanddownwards

MBARI’s @BioinspirLab, led by @KakaniKatija, develops tools to view deep-sea animals in groundbreaking ways. Bringing the laboratory into the ocean gives the team a close-up look at delicate structures like feeding filters made out of snot. Learn more: mbari.org/team/bioinspir……
🚨 #jobalert. Come work with us @MBARI_News @BioinspirLab @CVisionLLC @OceanDiscLeague @CeNCOOS et al as we build @OceanVisionAI @FathomNet.

See below for incredible ongoing work by the @BioinspirLab @MBARI_News to harness the power of AI in processing the overwhelming surplus of marine imagery currently in que, collected by instrumentation such as AUVs, ROVs, drop cams, landers, and cabled observatories:⬇️
If you haven't checked out @MBARI_News' 2022 Annual Report, you should. It's beautiful. @FathomNet + @BioinspirLab + @OceanVisionAI + #EyeRIS get a mention too. 🙏👏 annualreport.mbari.org/2022/

Professors are up to 25 times more likely to have a parent with a PhD--and this rate nearly doubles at prestigious universities nature.com/articles/s4156… A third of faculty at top-ranked universities report that their parent has a PhD 30% versus 19% at lower-ranked institutions.
New @MBARI_News website just dropped! Check it out. I need to update our @BioinspirLab pages still, but it is a massive improvement. Huge kudos 👏🏽 to the Comms team @susanvonthun @HeidiCullen et al!

I had a great opportunity to talk about why I think @FathomNet is important to ocean research, how exciting the work being done by @KakaniKatija and the @BioinspirLab is, and how @SchmidtOcean is leveraging it and collaborating
