    Earlier this year I was getting frustrated with Claude's charts, fed this book to claude and had it generate a Tufte skill. Instantly got simpler/more beautiful visualizations.

    if you run an ai lab, pls ensure your team has read this before putting any charts out into the world

    My 8 year old nephew is watching lectures on quantum physics on YouTube for fun. We’re scientists (aunt and uncle) but this wasn’t our doing, we just bought him books. At his age I was watching power rangers and just really, really wanted to be the pink ranger.

    Everyone else: we need 500 H100s to find the next drug. Svensson lab: pretty sure this is just a regex string

    Stanford just found a natural alternative to Ozempic using some clever regex on the human proteome. Instead of manually searching through proteins, their one-liner “peptide predictor” regex narrowed down promising candidates. The calculation likely took just a few seconds.

    Nevermind - apparently he’s watching Stanford quantum computing lectures because he wants to figure out time travel. @keri_mckiernan

    Apparently I paid too much and now Navient now owes me $2. This is satisfying for unknown reasons.

    “UC Berkeley College of Chemistry used to require learning German because the language of science was German. You had to know it to read the literature. {That didn’t change until about 1945}…All I can say is that I hope that 100 years from now our chemistry students are still

    I started working in structural biology & protein engineering 15 years ago and never thought the day would come when I’d feel blasé about yet another protein design model announcement. Wild times we’re living in. I’m way more excited about the applications than the models now.

    I would argue they need a 6 month rotation in a wet lab followed by another 6-12 months of learning how medicine and drug development (or any industrial science e.g. materials) actually works. That's enough to humble even the most bio/acc CS folks.

    We desperately need to take all the people in SF who talk about accelerating biology but have only ever done math or CS and have them do a six month rotation in a wet lab.

    One of the things that makes being a scientist so ✨magical✨is secrets. When that new data comes in and, for a brief moment, you’re the only people in the world that hold that secret shard of insight into the inner workings of life & our physical world. Nothing can beat it.
