Pedro Sánchez shares three essential items in his office as Spain’s prime minister.

The second is a bottle with a message inside, written by a child refugee from Gaza, that reminds him of the suffering endured by Palestinians. What a PM to be proud of.

I have been deliberately silent on social media for a while. I use all my social media platforms to promote education & make dreams come true for young minds. I rarely post anything about family or politics.
This morning, Israel demolished the building I have an apartment in. It took 22 years of my work here & 20 years of my wife’s work to own this apartment. This madness has to stop.

Javier Bardem on his "Free Palestine" remark at the #Oscars: "It's important to understand that you can be part of the movie-making community and also be a citizen who uses this huge speaker to denounce injustice."

The blood-brain barrier can prevent therapeutic drugs from reaching the brain.

Researchers in @ScienceAdvances last year identified a peptide that increases the barrier’s permeability, showing potential for more effective drug delivery to treat brain diseases. https://t.co/zzMcqYs9ao #ScienceMagArchives

🚀Excited to share we've re-launched DeepScholar, with a set of updates and fixes to support the volume of requests we've gotten since launching our research preview two weeks ago

DeepsScholar is still openly-accessible, fast, and capable of efficiently processing 100s are articles from the web for research synthesis

... and hopefully its just in time to help you catch up on your post-neurips reading list

Let us know what you're using DeepScholar for, and what features you'd like to see next

Releasing a new "Agentic Reviewer" for research papers. I started coding this as a weekend project, and @jyx_su made it much better.

I was inspired by a student who had a paper rejected 6 times over 3 years. Their feedback loop -- waiting ~6 months for feedback each time -- was painfully slow. We wanted to see if an agentic workflow can help researchers iterate faster.

When we trained the system on ICLR 2025 reviews and measured Spearman correlation (higher is better) on the test set:
- Correlation between two human reviewers: 0.41
- Correlation between AI and a human reviewer: 0.42

This suggests agentic reviewing is approaching human-level performance.

The agent grounds its feedback by searching arXiv, so it works best in fields like AI where research is freely published there. It’s an experimental tool, but I hope it helps you with your research.
