Wishing everyone a happy Friday! ☀️
To celebrate, we'd like to share a recent publication of ours. iMind: Artificial and Real Intelligence is the first comprehensive popular science account of and .

🤔 Why has so much of our recent attention been focused on AI while RI ( ) is all but forgotten? And why are we spending so much energy debating the future of AI rather than that of its human original? Why can't those who are concerned about AI and those who care about RI talk to one another using a common language?

Perfect for those with a keen interest in the interdisciplinary science of AI and RI, this book discusses smartphones, smart sensors, the brain-mind connection and more!

🐶 🦠 COVID-19 lockdowns around the world had, and continue to have, a major effect on animal's welfare, influencing pet ownership and care, as well as impacting on the work of conservation institutes due to the lack of visitors and funding and lack of tourist presence in the wild which impacted on anti-poaching efforts.

💉 With the rollout of human vaccines, some countries started developing animal vaccines, only some of which were deployed. In summary, the pandemic had a wide-ranging influence on animal welfare around the world🌍

📖 🐾 Authored by members of the University of the West of England, Bristol, Animal Welfare in a Pandemic explores the impact of COVID-19 on a wide array of animals, from those in the wild to companion and captive animals.

💡 The lungs are the organ for gas exchange between the body and the external environment. Dysfunction of upper airway epithelium and smooth muscle cells leads to pathogenesis of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis and other conditions, resulting in airway inflammation and narrowing.

In addition to lung structural cells, immune cells, including alveolar macrophages and lymphocytes play critical roles in the maintenance of lung function.

🎨Today's students have expressed a strong preference for multiple modes of information delivery, including visual, auditory and kinesthetic 💉

🧠 This unique book by Dr. Karen Sladyk is based on evidence that suggests that a multisensory approach that includes doodling can promote better knowledge retention than traditional methods in learning medical terminology. By drawing or doodling related images, students will create permanent connections between the brain and the terms. Using visual cues to remember information will encourage students to review the material at hand and will also help them understand the way that terms connect to larger medical concepts.

📉 Without fully understanding what goes into data science projects, 80% of analytics projects will continue to fail, costing enterprises and society hundreds of billions of dollars.

The field of artificial intelligence, data science, and analytics is crippling itself. Exaggerated promises of unrealistic technologies, simplifications of complex projects, and marketing hype are leading to an erosion of trust in one of our most critical approaches to making decisions: data drive.

Written by two experts in the field, this book aims to fix this by countering the AI hype with a dose of realism. For the first time, business leaders, practitioners, students, and interested laypeople will learn what really makes a data science project successful.

🎨 From Roentgen to Rembrandt, Hounsfield to Hollywood and Vesalius to video games, Imagining Imaging explores the deeply entwined relationship between art and radiology.

🦴 📷 Dr Jackson argues that the foundations of medical image construction and interpretation were laid down in artistic innovations dating back hundreds and thousands of years. Since the discovery of X-rays, artists and moviemakers have, in turn, drawn rich inspiration from radiographic imagery and concepts, but the process of cross-pollination between art and science has continued, with creative endeavor continuing to mold medical imaging examinations to this day.
