1/7 🌾🐄  Our letter is out in @Science: AI biosecurity must include agriculture.

Recently biological AI has brought biosecurity to the center of public debate, but most attention is on human pathogens. Crops and livestock are a major blind spot. 🧵

Join us on Thurs. October 29, from 6-8 pm for Discovery After Dark! Experience science firsthand through interactive activities, take on the challenge of an Operation Outbreak simulation, and meet Broad scientists! Advanced registration required. Register: https://t.co/Ut3QP1rzzj

[Xavier Lab @TheXavierLab]

Applications are open for the Klarman Fellowship at @broadinstitute! We are looking for postdoctoral researchers to join the GaMBiT Initiative to develop innovative technologies that translate human genetic discoveries into disease mechanisms, biomarkers, and therapeutic leads.

[Human Cell Atlas @humancellatlas]

As we celebrate a decade of collaboration, HCA Co-Founder Sarah Teichmann shares why she and Aviv Regev joined forces to bring this international scientific consortium together. Hear Sarah tell the story.

Open AI released around 400 solved math problems challenging traditional scientific discovery pipeline and raising even more questions who owns scientific discovery now. we asked editors-in-chief of Nature, Science and Cell who owns the credit human or AI: https://t.co/T5TX8Mitzz
