1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

New research published today in Environmental Health Perspectives! 👩‍🔬 Forecasting climate-sensitive Vibrio vulnificus infections 🦠 (marine bacteria causing wound infections) using machine learning, environmental data 🌡️ (including EO 🛰️), and epi incidence data. Read here: doi.org/10.1289/EHP1...

🦠❗ New paper! Machine learning to predict Vibrio parahaemolyticus ST3 expansion dynamics using genomic isolates. Using ecological and evolutionary features in combined models best delineated population structure, introduced vs established isolates, and isolate success. doi.org/10.2196/62747

Uncovering the evolution and successful pandemic expansion of marine bacteria Vibrio parahaemolyticus ST3 into the distinct climate of Latin America 🔍🦠 🌎 A thread on our paper in Nature Communications🧵 ⬇️ nature.com/articles/s41... @natureportfolio.bsky.social

New research in Microbial Genomics! We quantified how El Niño events increase Vibrio parahaemolyticus detection in South America, and gene-level plankton attachment mechanisms facilitating this, using genomics, machine learning and distributed non-linear time series models. doi.org/10.1099/mgen...
