I've spent a big fraction of my week reviewing proposals, and it makes me so optimistic. Such great ideas from so many clever people. #TeamScience

Spent the day learning @MLflow. Feels like how I usually to track experiments, but much easier and with an actual UI.

Sitting on an internal review for a proposal, and got a great bit of wisdom from a reviewer:

"Proposals are meant to be scored, not read."

A team I'm on at @LabsGlobus , led by @z_H0NG, is excited to introduce ScholarBERT, an #LLM for science trained on 85M English language research articles! We're using it to discover molecules for safely transporting #GreenHydrogen. #LLMHackathon

Started with a small lobe to figure out if I wanted to prep it another way.

Went out on my first mushroom forage with the wonderful people of @gamushroomclub this weekend! My contribution to the collection table was some oyster mushrooms, and I just enjoyed part of my share today 😋🍄

@IPDPS The code to try this application out yourself is on GitHub https://t.co/oE0Gp2ccL6 and all my results are on @DataFacility https://t.co/Hxj55gUsHl

My team's second paper on Colmena, a main focus of my work, is now accepted at an @IPDPS workshop and on ArXiv - https://t.co/0dC5YfWlz6

We show you can span AI workflows across multiple computing sites without networking hassles _and_ without giving up performance

Met one of our neighborhood possums at the end of a walk with Dolly. I was glad she was disinterested or failed to notice him 😬

Took a break from deadline madness to make risotto. Hope my fellow busy scientists are also taking time to relax #AcademicChatter
