Congratulations @marinkazitnik !

Excited to share our @Nature paper on the role of AI in scientific discovery 🌟🔬 #AI4Science

AI is transforming discovery across sciences 🤖🔍 From hypothesis generation to data interpretation, it is reshaping all stages of research in ways we could not imagine using traditional methods alone

https://t.co/70MrHsjsEe

Scientific process can benefit tremendously from powerful AI methods. The past decade has seen breakthroughs:

We can leverage vast amounts of unlabeled data thanks to self-supervised learning

Generative AI is a game-changer in molecular design

Analyzing diverse data modalities like images and sequences sparks innovation like never before

Grand challenges remain as we venture into uncharted AI territory:

1⃣ Implementation: Self-driving labs and autonomous discovery, open data and data re-use, transparency and practical considerations

2⃣ Machine learning foundations: Causality and OOD generalization, multimodal learning, model understanding, knowledge-grounded models

3⃣ Changes in scientific enterprise: Conduct of science, big science, stewardship and education of workforce, misuse and safety

Join us at the 4th AI4Science meeting @NeurIPSConf later this year to continue these conversations @AI_for_Science

Grateful for a stellar team of brilliant first authors, Hanchen Wang, @TianfanFu @YuanqiD

Thankful to collaborators across 38 institutions and three continents @Harvard @Stanford @MIT @GoogleDeepMind @HarvardMed @MSFTResearch @Cornell @BrownUniversity @Cambridge_Uni @Caltech @GeorgiaTech @UofIllinois @Princeton @CarnegieMellon @nyuniversity @mbzuai @Mila_Quebec @nvidia @HEC_Montreal @genentech

Thanks to A. Brandt @HarvardHistSci for sharing lessons from history and philosophy of science

„Wir haben kein Problem mit einem mRNA-Vakzin im Körper, aber eine geneditierte Tomate geht nicht?“ Mit der FAZ habe ich über die Chancen der Genom-Editierung in der Landwirtschaft gesprochen. Wenn wir sie nicht nutzen, verlieren wir in 🇪🇺 den Anschluss.

[Falling Walls Female Science Talents @FW_FST]

A very engaging #FemaleScienceTalents workshop on #leadership and hidden ambitions today. 👏Thank you to the great female scientists who took part, our trailblazing Role Model @pcarrillobustam & our coaches Magdalena Geissler and Nina Spiri.

[Bayer Foundation @BayerFoundation]

What a great evening with young talented scientists from all around the world!
Thank you all for joining! We very much enjoyed the discussions and small competition on #NobelPrize 2030”. Can you guess the three winning topics for the next Nobel Prize? #LINO23 @LindauNobel

Investing in our bioeconomy = investing in American workers who will unlock sustainable solutions across industries.

Today, the Biden-Harris Administration released a plan for more Americans to join the growing biotechnology & biomanufacturing workforce. https://t.co/tO02K6Uyjl

Very interesting new findings that could open the door for new treatment regimen of Endometriosis- which are urgently needed!

[New Scientist @newscientist]

The causes of endometriosis are not fully understood, but research suggesting it may be due to a bacterial infection means it could potentially be treated with antibiotics https://t.co/nsxIa9Uawi

[BMFTR @bmftr_bund]

In Brüssel diskutierte BM @starkwatzinger mit Expertinnen und Experten auf einem Workshop zum Thema #NeueZüchtungstechniken. „Das Gros der Wissenschaft sagt Ja zu den Neuen Züchtungstechniken", hob die Ministerin hervor. Derzeitige Gesetze seien „völlig veraltet".

Wer übernimmt die Verantwortung für die Risiken für die Ernährungssicherheit, wenn wir das Potential neuer Technologien ungenutzt lassen? Es wird Zeit, dass die EU bei neuen Züchtungsmethoden den Turbo einschaltet. Dazu habe ich mit der FAZ gesprochen.(€)
