@ChefGruel The properties of a molecule are only determined by its structure, not where it comes from, so as long as it is the same, if it’s cheaper to produce, why not?
Never meet your heroes???
Nah. Do it. Just be prepared.
It was amazing talking with Nobel Laureate Charles Rice.
Fulfilling to be able to have a good quality technical exchange with one of the world leading experts on Hepatitis C.
Clarity is one of the most underrated skills in research.
ONE clear statement of the research project's direction does 90% of the work. Once you have it, it's just execution.
Human engineers: "Let's separate this problem into several well-defined subproblems then solve each one using the most appropriate tool for that job."
Biology:
Class enrollment done.
I’m taking two PhD-level classes because they’re interesting. My GPA will probably not benefit from this
Sad to think about how grad schools look at GPA. Seems like people who want to challenge themselves are not welcome
Biotech is an experience-based business.
It’s not a “just do it” field. Every iteration is expensive and needs the right technology, materials and expertise.
It requires a lot of trials to learn, but also a lot of knowledge to try.
AI provides a universal framework that leverages data and compute at scale to uncover higher-order patterns
Today, @arcinstitute in collaboration with @nvidia releases Evo 2—a fully open source biological foundation model trained on genomes spanning the entire tree of life 🧵
The only way to learn is to do stuff.
I’ve never learned as much as when I worked in a lab or built something with friends. It forces you to understand the ins and outs of a topic.
Studying theory with no applicative purpose is useless.
@GLaDOUGHSandHiv@dabit3@eigencloud Thank you!! For me it was mapping clearly the needs of all parties using our app, the legalities and privacy behind it, and developing a good model that could work. I wasn’t very familiar with blockchain and integrating it into an issue like this was very interesting
We conquered Treehacks!
In just 36 hours, we brought our vision for revolutionizing healthcare to life — and took home a 2nd place web3 Track award. Our team won $7,000 & 7000 EIGEN from @eigencloud !
Here some highlights of our weekend 🧵:
3. Presenting to the judges was my favourite part. I talked about healthcare, Cynthia and Shayaan about blockchains, and Taarush about the UI.
We were able to showcase our interests and get more people passionate about the issue.
An unforgettable weekend: in my first hackathon ever, my team and I won second place in TreeHacks’s Web3 Track! Taking home $7000 and 7000 EIGEN thanks to @eigencloud — the coolest sponsors ever.
MediLedger revolutionizes how hospitals can collaborate. Powered by EigenDA and Merkle proofs, our decentralized inventory system enables trustless verification of drug availability while preserving supply chain privacy. LOTS more to implement, but here's some takeaways 🌲
