Here, in full directly on Twitter, is "A Hackers' Guide to Language Models". This 90 minute tutorial is designed to be the one place I point coders at when they ask "hey, tell me everything I need to know about LLMs!"

It covers both @OpenAI models and open source ones in depth.

I designed another #LEGO set inspired by the "model" organisms of biological research!

This time, it's the tiny but mighty fruit fly #Drosophila melanogaster, which researchers have used to study all manner of biological processes.

Why so few males? What are the mechanisms to produce skewed sex ratios in nematodes?

Check out the review "Fisher vs. the Worms: Extraordinary Sex Ratios in Nematodes and the Mechanisms that Produce Them"

Amazing case report. The medicine of tomorrow. 5 week old boy admitted to NICU. Within 37 hours he had his whole genome sequenced, gene defect identified, treatment ordered and received by patient. Within 6 hr symptoms resolved. https://t.co/UYSJSURQHW

OK, so you didn't have to, I climbed inside the mouth of a wax moth (Galleria mellonella) larvae, charted a path through its entire gut, and scrambled out of its butt #InverteButt

This curious photo shows two juvenile soil #nematodes as they attempt to grab a ride from a passing #springtail or #mite by gently swaying and questing in the air...

@sumie_dh great! I love bizarre Biology. The more bizarre the better.

This is my latest blog post about giant springtails. Originally written for another platform, I've redone and expanded the whole thing...!

@FSJSouza sim, muito legal. Foi um dos trabalhos mais legais que ja fiz. Mas tambem o que deu mais trabalho pra publicar.
