Excited to see the PhD work led by Sarah Danchuk published today at @PNASNews . Virulence hierarchies within the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Thanks to all the authors and collaborators, and especially kudos to Sarah: https://t.co/mNTbRuvW0F. .

We're about to create the 1st gen of scientists who can't research without AI. And honestly? I'm not sure if that's evolution or devolution!
๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐๐๐ฃ๐ง ๐๐ผ:
โ Extract key findings from dense papers in seconds
โ Design entire experiments from scratch
โ Turn complex studies into engaging content for public
โ Generate survey questionnaires that would take days to create
โ Respond to peer reviewers (yes, really)
& this book does a great job going through these details!
But missed the elephant in the room:
โคด๏ธ research inequality.
Universities with AI access will accelerate faster than those without. Researchers fluent in prompt engineering will outpace those who aren't.
We're creating new divides in an already unequal system!
It doesn't address how AI might bias research directions:
โคด๏ธ We're training AI on biased research. Now it's teaching us. See the problem?
Overall, this isn't another "AI will save us all" book.
Authors actually tested ChatGPT on real research tasks & documented both the wins and the spectacular failures.

In doing so, this talented young scientist discovered 1) a novel activator of ESX-1 gene transcription and 2) a novel vaccine that is as protective as BCG but does not compromise existing TB diagnostic tests.
Delighted to share our report in Microbiology Spectrum.
Slim Zriba (PhD student) engineered Mycobacterium smegmatis to produce a functional Mtb ESX-1 system.

VIDO is building a new animal housing facility that will expand our research capacityโhousing everything from mosquitoes to ticks to bats๐ฆ๐ท๏ธ๐ฆ. These vectors are crucial for disease spread, and access to them will help us better prepare for emerging threats. #VIDOis50
New TB research! ๐งซ A collab between VIDO & UBC shows the Parkinsonโs drug benztropine may help immune cells fight TB. VIDO confirmed it works in infected mice using our CL3 labs. Great example of shared expertise in action.

In 50 days, VIDO will celebrate its 50th anniversary!! ๐ Follow along as we count down by sharing a daily fact about VIDOโs evolution and innovations over the past five decades! #VIDOis50
Our paper is out! The Parkinsonโs drug benztropine possesses histamine receptor 1-dependent host-directed antimicrobial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Thanks @henok_sahile and team for your great work. #repurposing@UBC#TB#HDT https://t.co/vXIsuuj23G

Eliminating tuberculosis in Canada IS within reach if we work together. Read our statement for #WorldTBDay to learn how we are working with Indigenous and government partners to achieve this goal: https://t.co/HSWNFM9hN8
This #WorldTBDay, we stand in solidarity with the millions who are affected or lose their lives because of tuberculosis every year.
The effort to #EndTB is urgent. Global health budgets are being cut around the world and TB rates right here in Canada are rising.
Thanks to our volunteers, a record โจ51 monuments๐ท will be lit up in red TODAY in every province to raise awareness for TB. These lights serve as a call-to-action for decision-makers to take action to eradicate TB at home and abroad.
Plan an outing tonight to a monument near you to help shine a ๐ทhttps://t.co/LArD7zGCwqโฆ

Our @unizar colleagues, Ainhoa, Cris and Santi, were on TV today for #WorldTBDay2025 discussing publications on new compounds, the Hollow Fibre system, integration of AI in clinical trials and the upcoming public plenaries at our general assembly in May!
