Uncertainty‐Guided Selective Adaptation Enables Cross‐Platform Predictive Fluorescence Microscopy

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Deep learning models often fail when transferred to new microscopes. A novel framework overcomes this by selectively adapting the early layers governing low‐level image statistics, while freezing deep layers that encode morphology. This uncertainty‐guided approach enables robust, label‐free virtual staining across diverse systems, democratizing ...

Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market
