#OTD in 1996, medicine laureate James Allison reported that blocking CTLA-4 with an antibody unleashes an immune response against cancer. In his @sciencemagazine paper, he showed that his new treatment successfully treated 90% of the mice with tumours he was studying.

Rico the porcupine gets his exercise in! Spending most of its time in the canopy, the Brazilian porcupine is an expert climber. Their muscular tail is nearly as long as the body and essentially acts as a fifth limb.

Moe and Lightning share a kiss 💋 behind the scenes! Although sloths are considered solitary animals, sharing a kiss between sloths is a great way for them to bond! These intimate moments are also thought to transfer enzymes and bacteria that could aid in digestion.

⚡️Really thrilled that #textgrad is published in @nature today!⚡️

We present a general method for genAI to self-improve via our new *calculus of text*.

We show how this optimizes agents🤖, molecules🧬, code🖥️, treatments💊, non-differentiable systems🤯 + more!

Beach day! The bloat hangs out together on the beach. Hippos secrete an oily red liquid, called blood sweat, which acts as a sunscreen, lotion, and even an antiseptic.

The cheetah cubs have been going on adventures around the zoo to get used to new spaces. They are doing great, running around with energy & then all cuddle in a puddle! The cubs are currently not on public view. This great video is brought to you by Great American Insurance Group

Orchid, Vora, & Lilypad 🐾 — the 3 rescued manatees are growing strong here at the Cincinnati Zoo! Once they hit their 600lb milestone, they'll be big and strong enough to return to Florida waters! 💙

New research in Science represents a notable step forward in designing enzymes from scratch.

With a new approach, researchers designed an enzyme that uses a covalent intermediate to catalyze a two-step reaction, analogous to what many proteases do when breaking apart proteins. https://t.co/GPG2UBTAYh

Happy Pi day! The current date and time (14 March, 1.59pm) resemble 3.14159, the approximation of the mathematical constant Pi, or π. Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. The ratio stays the same no matter how big or small the circle is.
