Long term, I’m interested in how platforms like this can support young scientists, early-career researchers, and interdisciplinary learners.

Having a lot of fun vibe coding the Iris Sessions app with #replit ! Iris is a mentoring-focused scheduling platform that removes the hassle from scheduling 1:1 and group sessions.

[Yasin Şenbabaoğlu @shenbaba]

What I’m learning while building:

Product clarity > feature sprawl

UX details matter (timezones, lead times, race conditions)

Trust is everything in mentoring relationships

Michigan is a powerhouse for biomedical research, and the PIBS PhD program is truly exceptional. It was inspiring to see how PIBS alumni have gone on to achieve remarkable success. I felt humbled to represent my department at the 25th anniversary celebration. #GoBlue

I was giving consultancy about multimodal RAG to some external people, wanted to post it here

stop using OCR + LLMs. if you want to retrieve, use ColPali, if you want RAG from docs, use vision language models

Third, in collaboration with the Computational Biology team led by @shenbaba (Yasin Şenbabaoğlu), we’re looking for a Research Scientist at @czbiohub SF to develop multimodal Large Language Models (LLMs) that integrate text, omics, and image data in the context of our #zebrafish research! This is a unique opportunity to push the boundaries of AI in biology and contribute to groundbreaking discoveries in infection, regeneration, and development using zebrafish models. Apply here:

Spatial biomarker discovery with image-to-omic deep learning models, great collaboration across multiple Genentech departments!! https://t.co/mDl9CNicWu

@simocristea Great thread! Epithelial signatures read both (necrotic/non-necrotic) tumor and normal + mesenchymal signatures read both bona fide EMT and stroma. Makes one wonder whether it's possible to draw any conclusion from published EMT signatures...

She’s crystallizing the ideas even further by discussing how the legal system, as the operating system, is at the root of the issue, i.e how the British Common Law helped Dubai to prosper in just one generation… and how adverse laws in some African countries stunted their growth

[Yasin Şenbabaoğlu @shenbaba]

Wish I had found out about Magatte Wade’s work and ideas earlier, a true source of enlightenment for the widely perpetuated prejudices on Africa…

[Yasin Şenbabaoğlu @shenbaba]

Can’t help drawing parallels between her and Ray Dalio’s ideas on the importance of free economic markets for the prosperity of nations…

@rynrynrynnyryn @warren_craddock It’s the imperfect incentive structure. The decision to kill a project is generally not rewarded, unless the organization makes it a point to do so. Everyone follows incentives, both consciously and subconsciously.

[Yasin Şenbabaoğlu @shenbaba]

@SaberaTalukder I would also add that if you don't already have some level of resilience to prime this growth, the process will be a lot more painful and can lead you to drop out.
