@NogalesLab @berkeleyMCB Congratulations!!

We also introduced a new award for broader evaluation:

🏆 Generalist Prize: Team @altos_labs ranked highest across 7 metrics. They showed the most reliable generalization—robust performance across diverse criteria vs. optimization for a single score.

Fun Half. Esp the kids yelling at Mile 6.5 “yeah you made it to Mile SIIIX SEEEVEN!”

@mbeisen As a kid in Nürnberg we were paid by the kilo (50 cents) by the forest service to collect them. Made some decent money as a 12 yr old though 50 kilos is … heavy

Läuft nicht so toll für den Klub im Augenblick…

Excited to share our first preprint from the lab! We developed an image-based pooled screen to uncover regulators of HP1 condensates and discovered a link with intronic RNA and RNA processing. shttps://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.09.21.676939v1

👏 Congrats to all authors, especially Matthew, Shaopu & Chris! and a huge thanks to @genophoria for the collaboration

@acher_2 @mbeisen Well no- that’s not the point. I have lived here 25 yrs and use Clipper (which also does have issues...). But if you want to make it easier for business travelers and tourists- it’s got to be NY style or why are you doing it.

Back home traveling after a month to Bay Area realities. $600 3hr/day class for 11 yr old F1 that he was super excited about it for a big project. Arrived first day: oh class is canceled. Did you email me? We emailed the student, maybe in spam. Did you refund ? No. Nice moves.

[Bassem Al-Sady @Bazzoid]

@mbeisen In spectacular fashion! Thx Gary.

Last leg home on RTW ticket with @UnitedAirlines @Lufthansa_DE. Not one leg on time. Two intercontinental flights with maintenance issue or plane swap for maintenance issues. Not good. Delays up to 12hrs but let’s see what with last leg delays ends up. Hoping to get home soon.

[Bassem Al-Sady @Bazzoid]

Bayern. You couldn’t do it with 2 players up. Come on.

[Bassem Al-Sady @Bazzoid]

@lufthansa With United Airlines by this point issues are resolved via DM, email, or voice.

[Bassem Al-Sady @Bazzoid]

@lufthansa flight 717 from HND to FRA delayed 11.5 hrs and all you got is 20EUR voucher? Why didn’t you send out a message? Now stuck at HND for no reason. Why not hotel voucher? LH 716 left FRA 8 hrs late, should have emailed all customers. The crane is not what it once was.

[Bassem Al-Sady @Bazzoid]

@lufthansa What will you offer to make this right? No email or app notifications (we use both UA and LH apps- but email should be straightforward) In the complaint form I can’t comment on this flight with our booking reference by as it’s Roundtheworld ticket (it choses flight 1). Please DM

[Bassem Al-Sady @Bazzoid]

@lufthansa PS already went to first cafe that didn’t take our LH vouchers … probably HND issue but that’s not fun either.

[Bassem Al-Sady @Bazzoid]

@lufthansa Thank you, I will do that. The point is : why didn’t you prepare your customers since you had the lead time ? And help them out more once they are stuck (United 1K /Star Alliance Gold). You can DM.

[Bassem Al-Sady @Bazzoid]

@MoKhalilLab Sorry to hear that Mo. they are such loving creatures.
