Are you interested in molecular evolution? Do you know the research centers/institutes which specialize in molecular evolution research? (1/n)

@Ishwariya13 During Covid times, we did the same. To save time, my mentor restricted all of us to just one slide per person and not more than 3 images/results per slide. It also teaches you the understand the most important thing to communicate.

I swear I was imaging this popular meme for AIxBIO. Interesting that chemistry is not even in the picture!

@dr_alphalyrae Oh god 🤣

I see a lot of parallels between LLM’s math proofs and ML’s biology effect prediction. Human understanding and interpretation of the black box is the key going forward. Humans have to come up with simpler models based on learnings from AI/ML models #AIxBIO

Not a professional mathematician but I feel for them. I hope they will not be robbed of the opportunity to explore things they are curious about. Doing so, really unexpected wonders happen. Mathematicians, keep doing that adventure of yours. #AI @OpenAI #maths

We can't keep going like this. We need to bring far more rigor into everything we do. 6/6

There is a reason I have consciously stayed clear of training and using large AI models in biology before understanding precisely how & what smaller incarnations learn. Here is the fundamental problem 1/

6 minutes and 52 seconds absolutely worth watching. Absolutely amazing moments in the game between the two Indian girls Divya Deshmukh and Vaishali Rameshbabu in the Candidates!

This game ended in a draw, by the way. But some draws are much, much more exciting than others!

Can you help us find guests for the Night Science Podcast? We received generous sponsorship from @research_theory and they're challenging us to host 5 scientists each working in flight, genomics, nuclear power, computing & space. Any ideas?@nightsciencepod https://t.co/nHsk2htGNv

I think that writing deep, important, and enjoyable things demands a sort of Prestige Death.

When I worked as a scientist, the most prestigious thing to do was publish in Cell, Nature, or Science. But I didn’t enjoy this. It forced me to always think about what other labs were doing, or what particular editors wanted to see. It made me think about how I could tell an artificial “story,” rather than just do the experiments that seemed most interesting to me.

Then, I became a science journalist. I was taught that writing for, say, Scientific American was the pinnacle of prestige. (Haha.) But then I did that, and realized that I didn’t enjoy it at all. The editors skimmed off all the technical details, to the point where my explanations became shallow and weak. Mechanistic details about the biology were cut out. The goal, instead, was to write a piece for mass consumption; something anybody could understand. But this is generally not a good thing if you're deeply serious about using writing as a vehicle to understand something!

So I started a blog, and began publishing 90% or more of all my writing there. A blog is probably the least prestigious thing you can do as a writer. My journalist friends thought it was foolish, because blogs do not pay bills. But I’m convinced it was basically the *only* way that I could be fully, unapologetically true to my own writing style and interests. When you write your own things — without consideration for editors or “mass appeal” or “prestige” — I think you will be more creative. Your writing will be deeper, more comprehensive, and more enjoyable!

In other words, I think that to do your best work, it's sometimes helpful to separate what you do for prestige vs. what you do for yourself.

The system is designed for control and productivity. Your nervous system is designed for play, rest, and the pursuit of meaning. Mental health issues are the end result of an evolutionary mismatch.

@ashwinravi99 I don’t know what we are learning from this. Isn’t this same as NRR? I feel like any team finishing at the top with a healthy NRR will have numbers like this. It will be nice to see numbers from previous editions.
