Someone asks me every other week if AI is going to replace bioinformaticians.

A new npj Digital Medicine paper finally said what I have been telling them for two years.

I am thrilled to present the Mosquito Cell Atlas! We analyzed 367K nuclei from 19 tissues in male & female mosquitoes, creating a comprehensive resource for vector biology & infectious disease research.

Plus we made some surprising discoveries! 🦟🧵

Consider this advice from 2023 medicine laureate Katalin Karikó on managing stress.

Do you have any tips for stress management?

[Irish Coleen @icaasin]

Such a good talk! 🥰 Happy to have been there!

[SalehLab @SalehLabParis]

Hello Tokyo friends, I will be presenting our work on retrotransposons and antiviral immunity in insects tomorrow at 7 pm at @UTokyo_News. Please stop by to say hi if you are around!

Excited to share that the AlphaFold 3 model code and weights are now available for academic use.
Looking forward to seeing what new research this unlocks and how the research community builds on AlphaFold 3 for scientific discoveries https://t.co/GKIOGHm317 1/2

Free scientific illustrations for biologists! 😍

@NIH has released a library of 500+ free scientific illustrations to create figures, presentations, and illustrations!

all freely available in the public domain.

Retweet and spread the message!

Because of annoying complications with the use of images prepared on BioRender @iamscicomm for publication or presentations, our lab will be exploring open-source alternatives like https://t.co/bIsTovq6UY or drawing our own images with Illustrator.
