📢 Hiring now!
Happy to announce that I will be opening a new mass spectrometry laboratory at the 🇨🇭University of Geneva🇨🇭 in January '24, and I am recruiting several PhD candidates and 1 post-doc.
Please #RT, forward to potential candidates, or apply ⏬

This raises the fascinating and/or disturbing hypothetical spectre of one of our award programmes presenting a giant string of coding with a trophy. Or would it be presented to the coders? Either way, it feels... somewhat odd. #NatureAwards

Today, we are announcing Future House, a philanthropically-funded moonshot focused on building an AI Scientist.

At Future House, our 10-year mission is to build semi-autonomous AIs for scientific research, to accelerate the pace of discovery and to provide world-wide access to cutting-edge scientific, medical, and engineering expertise. We have chosen to focus on biology because we believe biology is the science most likely to advance humanity in the coming decades, through its impact on medicine, food security, and climate. We also believe that biology research is set to scale, and AI will help us get there.

Future House is an independent, non-profit research organization, headquartered in San Francisco. At Future House, biology researchers and AI researchers will work together to build AI Scientists and to use those AI Scientists to make research 10x to 100x faster than it is today. We are fiercely committed to a flat structure, team science and individual contributions. We are also hiring, for AI researchers, wet lab biology researchers, and other roles. If this mission and these ideas are exciting to you, get in touch. Join our mailing list, follow us at @FutureHouseSF, and reach out to us at [email protected].

@BKowatsch @WFP @WFPInnovation Hello Bernard, I'm Head of Grants & Awards at the science journal, Nature. I'm wondering if we could have a conversation about The Algoritmi Prize, a brand new $1M prize for AI or Robotics innovations in the field of food security.?

[Helena Louring Jensen @The_STEM_Fan]

@BBCWomansHour, could you ask your guests what is being done to disseminate emerging research among UK clinicians? Far, far too many are still telling patients that LC doesn't exist and labelling them as hypochondriacs. Or telling them that there is nothing that can be done.

[Helena Louring Jensen @The_STEM_Fan]

Could we do more with images from this competition? Maybe work with the entrants for the Scientific Outreach category of #InspiringWomenInScience so they can share relateable images with the schools and children that they work with? Ideas warmly welcomed.

@tem_menina It was marvellous, not to mention properly inspiring, to get to meet all three of you. Thanks so much for coming all the way to London. These are the moments that remind me why I love my job.

@PhD_Genie About one third of the time, even among people who speak the same language that I do. My name is pretty ordinary but there are at least three different pronunciations in circulation.

Many people were curious to know how I created this illustration (cover proposal for @Nature) - so here is an *honest* stepwise thread on how my #sciart process typically looks like! ✨

This is a fun one--imagine field work with a sedated grizzly bear's nose between your knees! @NatureCareers Where I Work this week: https://t.co/Pd3eC9Sqp7

@emilyrverona I'm assuming we'll find out in the final episode that we've been watching one long flashback sequence as Nicola walks away from a poignant graveside in the pouring rain...

[Helena Louring Jensen @The_STEM_Fan]

You can see the #ScienceInShorts Top Ten collection here. With a bit of luck, you'll be inspired to give it a try yourself next time.

Part of me is wondering whether Gily's work will one day shed light on those of us who are a bit...erm...challenged, when it comes to spatial awareness. My car insurance company probably wonders too.

My 1min video was chosen for top-10 in the Nature portfolio's #ScienceinShorts competition. Check it out!
