I'm looking for a postdoc to work on deep learning for protein/antibody design. I'm in particular looking for candidates with biological background in the areas of biochemistry, protein design, antibody design. Please help retweet.

I'm building a lab @CSatUSC for grounding language in actions and multimodal observations using robots! I'm looking for PhD students interested in connecting language to plans and perception, dialog, and robot learning. #RoboNLP

The @DeepMind protein folding result is really incredible, and incredibly important. But I know it’s pretty tricky to understand, so here’s a megathread, with a bit of Biology 101, for @holland_tom @thehistoryguy
et al.

Whenever I compare AI to physics it always strikes me how small-scale our experiments actually are, both in cost and in rigor. Compare the training of GPT-3, which we were all super-impressed by to an experiment like LIGO.

Getting your first research paper accepted to a top conference is a challenging process. Instead of comparing yourself to others, focus on getting better day by day. If you’re better than the researcher you were a few months ago, it’s just a matter time.

It's grad school application season. This year I'd like to highlight one of the many difficult and most ignored barriers to pursuing an advanced degree: the financial cost of applying.

a 🧵 with my perspective and some suggestions for departments to alleviate this barrier

ICYMI there's proposal to make the max international student graduate visa to 4 years, with little info on extensions. Most PhDs take 5-6 yrs.

US research and the economy all benefit from talented students coming to study here! Add a public comment at:

Cases and hospitalizations are rising across the US

And I’m getting asked repeatedly whether we're heading toward lockdowns

Short answer – no – not if we are smart

Long answer? Its complicated

So let’s talk about lockdowns – and how we get through next few months

Vaccines usually take over 10 years to develop, test, and mass produce. But, scientists predict we could have an effective vaccine for Covid-19 by early 2021. How is this possible? They’re betting on a new vaccine strategy. If successful, it could be transformative. A thread.
