Congratulations to Alex Eala on her historic first win at Wimbledon!
From PH to Centre Court, Alex Eala has had strong start—and with Slazenger balls made in Bataan, the Philippines is right there with her on court. Good luck Alex!
NBI TO FILE CRIMINAL CHARGES VS. KIKO BARZAGA
NBI Director Melvin Matibag revealed that the bureau will file criminal charges next week against Cavite Rep. Kiko Barzaga.
The charges stem from Barzaga's social media posts accusing the NBI of an assassination plot during the Senate shooting incident. He faces violations of Article 154 (Spreading False News) and Article 142 (Inciting to Sedition) of the Revised Penal Code, on top of an ethics complaint seeking his removal from office. | via Marianne Enriquez/News5
Spotify announces new “Reserved” feature, which will allow artists to set aside concert tickets for fans on the platform.
It will use streams, shares and other forms of activity to identify an artist’s most dedicated fans and hold two tour tickets for them.
The fans will then have a day-long window to purchase the tickets.
magpaalam ka muna

natutulala pa rin habang nagsasaka at naisipang ilabas sa pagsusulat ang bigat na nararamdaman. mahigpit na yakap sa lahat. hustisya para kay alyssa, rj, mau, errol, lyle at sa buong #Toboso19. ✊🏼
Namumundok din kami.
Dahil sa mga bundok matatagpuan ang mga katutubo. Kami ay mga boluntaryong guro, hindi terorista.
Bago mo tanungin kung bakit may mga kabataang pinipiling tumungo sa mga kabundukan, tanungin mo muna kung bakit hindi inaabot ng gobyerno ang mga lugar na ito.

how i was caught in the theater knowing nothing about #projecthailmary on my first watch, when rocky broke out of his little ball to save grace and i didn’t know if he would make it back in time
Happy to see the work, GigaTIME, from my close friend, Hoifung Poon, highlighted by @satyanadella !
This is the @CellCellPress paper from Dec 2025 (paper: https://t.co/4fW1PFBam3). It's now open source on Hugging Face + Azure Foundry Labs!
A bit more technical background for GigaTIME:
Spatial proteomics tells you which proteins are active, where, at single-cell resolution. It's the closest thing we have to reading the immune "grammar" of a tumor. It also costs thousands of dollars per sample and takes days to run.
GigaTIME just broke that constraint.
Input: a routine H&E pathology slide. ~$5. Every hospital has millions of them.
Output: a full 21-channel spatial proteomics map. In seconds.
How it works:
— Trained on 40 million cells with paired H&E + mIF images (Providence health system)
— Learns cross-modal translation: cell morphology → cell state, at single-cell spatial resolution
— Not CycleGAN — beat prior SOTA by a wide margin on both Dice score and Pearson correlation
What they did with it:
— Applied to 14,256 cancer patients across 51 hospitals
— Generated ~300,000 virtual mIF images spanning 24 cancer types, 306 subtypes
— Discovered 1,234 statistically significant protein-biomarker associations (novel ones: KMT2D, KRAS pan-cancer links)
— Validated externally on 10,200 TCGA patients: Spearman r = 0.88 across subtypes
The real unlock: population-scale tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) analysis was previously infeasible. mIF data is too scarce and expensive to collect at scale. GigaTIME generates a virtual population — validated against real mIF — from what every clinic already has.
One modality (cheap morphology) implies another (expensive cell state). The model learns the grammar connecting them.
Next step they hint at: integrating with LLaVA-Med so you can literally query the spatial proteomics map conversationally. "Talk to the tumor."
