3/ AI breakthroughs like AlphaFold wouldn’t be possible without decades of work on datasets.

e.g., AlphaFold was trained on protein structures from the Protein Data Bank (PDB), which took 50+ years and ~$20 *billion* to create.

This is the kind of foundational effort AI needs.

[Anshul Kundaje @anshulkundaje]

Yes and the most boring of them all but the highest impact is dataset curation with great metadata, preprocessing and QC + expert curation of annotations and knowledge.

[Paris-Saclay Institute of Neuroscience @NeuroPSI_saclay]

We grieve the passing of Dr. Yves Frégnac.
Yves has shaped the study of cortical processing and plasticity. He heralded interdisciplinarity and was one of the founding fathers of our institute.
Our thoughts go to his family and to his friends in the community and beyond. https://t.co/BGE4QGcg8g

[Mark Hahnel @MarkHahnel]

Big shout out to those researchers who made their data available in PDB over the years

The Chemistry Nobel Prize winners today relied on that open academic data to train their models

We wouldn't have these advances if researchers hadn't made 200,000 protein structures available

"In this paper, we will argue that the existing ecosystem of neuroscientific open source software is brittle, and discuss why and how the neuroscience community needs to come together to ensure a healthy growth of our software landscape to the benefit of all."

A few days ago, the journal eLife published a self-study on the first year of its new publishing model, and it is well worth a look. Here are some notes based on my own experience with the journal as author and reviewing editor: https://t.co/aT0bNA4qHu.
