What if robots that clean rivers could be designed in moments, not years?

AI2050 Fellow @Kriegmerica is advancing fully-biological, AI-designed “xenobots” that could one day do complex real-world tasks, imagined instantly.

General wisdom is that college gives students skills for good careers but what are those skills?

In a new study led by @ArjSabet in @ScientificData, we offer skills data based on millions of college course syllabi from US educational institutions.

Hard to overstate how pleased I am that the #flywire consortium converted our FAFB ("Full Adult Fly Brain") EM volume into a connectome, and that the resulting science has been (and will be) so impactful. Thanks to everyone involved.

University of Vermont leaders believe that building the school's research muscle — winning more grants, attracting more high-profile scientists, finding synergies — is essential to securing the future of the university and its place in Vermont https://t.co/4EWP2J8fHD

[Women in Network Science (WiNS) Society @WiNS_Society]

🚨The Landry Lab (@nwlandry) at the @UVA is recruiting a postdoc and graduate students🚨

The ideal candidates will be interested in network science, contagion processes, Bayesian inference, and software (see "research areas" on https://t.co/Ki3EcNlalO).

Billions of data points. Millions of CPU hours. Thousands of replicates. Hundreds of #xenobots. A dozen family members. Four years. One doctoral candidate. Zero flaws.

Congratulations Dr. Caitlin Grasso (@csgrasso10) on your successful defense today.
