It's time... #BenitoBowl

I’m incredibly proud of my kid’s Lego First League team this weekend at the state competition. They achieved their best scores of the year in the robot game (280 and they ranked 5th!). Although they didn’t advance this weekend, we’ve made significant progress this year!

Software stocks face a pressing hurdle. Anthropic's free tools create a roadblock for SaaS as firms like Amazon spend $200B on AI. This shift in capital erodes the software pillar and creates a gap in market stability.

NIH research is in the red zone. $561M in grants for cancer and heart disease is frozen, and 304 trials are defunded. Vacancies in 15 director roles create a leadership gap that stalls medical progress here in the US. #MedSky 🛟 #AcademicSky

Vibe Coding Is Killing Open Source Software, Researchers Argue Vibe coding erodes the open-source revenue base. European researchers find that AI-mediated usage reduces monetizable engagement for maintainers. Tailwind Labs saw a 40% drop in documentation traffic despite peak popularity.

🧪 A new study finds that general cardiologists using the AMIE AI system reduced clinical errors from 24.3% to 13.1%. Sub-specialists preferred assisted care 46.7% of the time. The model saved time in 50.5% of cases and helped bridge expertise gaps. #MedSky #MedAI

Moltbook hosts 1.6 million OpenClaw agents in autonomous discussion. Scientists have been using this data to identify emergent behaviors and hidden model biases. This massive, live simulation show how human intent translates into automated system actions.

Opus 4.6 introduces agent teams to execute tasks in parallel. The update provides a 1 million token context window. They also rolled out PowerPoint integration.

Sports Betting Is Skyrocketing. Will It Take Over the Olympics? You'll know we are cooked if they start sharing Polymarket odds.

A new study published in Nature Health introduces OMAFound (carcinOMA Finder foundation), a 3D foundation model designed to transform cancer screening from a "single test" approach to a "multi-cancer" paradigm using non-contrast CT scans. #MedSky #MedAI

Doctors who cut visits by 10% saw EHR time drop by only 21%. This raised EHR work per visit by 21%. Inbox messages and after-hours tasks remained high as patient panels grew complex. #MedSky

New editorial in BioData Mining: A crisis of overconfidence in clinical AI led by @cedarssinaihsu.bsky.social PhD student, Jacob Berkowitz. Why sounding confident can be more dangerous than being inaccurate, and why calibration needs to be central in clinical AI. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

My Christmas gift from @melanieatc.bsky.social finally came back. I love it so much! It was my very first @pearljam.com concert and we caught the tour kick off in Casper Wyoming! #PearlJam

As depressing has this administration's war on renewables has been. I don't think they can win against market forces. There is a glut of Chinese solar panels, and with energy prices surging, people will be eager to find ways to escape sky high power bills.

Scaling medical AI across clinical contexts: AI decision support faces hurdles. Context switching adapts reasoning at inference without retraining. This method can scale across specialties and tailors outputs to specific patient biology. #MedSky

Analysis shows 38% of cancer cases involve modifiable risks. Tobacco use, infections, and alcohol are the primary factors. Local prevention plans could help reduce the impact of these diseases. #MedSky 🛟

Top AI conferences now use author rankings to manage high submission volumes. Research shows authors accurately predict long-term impact. ICML 2026 will adopt this to identify quality work and ease peer review burdens. #AcademicSky

✨Looking forward to this panel discussion hosted by the Yale Black Public Health Association. Register on Yale Connect.

🎤 Speaker Spotlight: Nicholas Tatonetti, PhD The Translational Bioinformatics Year in Review is a perennial favorite, and Dr. Tatonetti brings it to #Amplify2026. His talk highlights top papers, organized into themed categories inspired by pop songs. #ClinicalInformatics #Research #Healthcare

Very excited to participate and I can't wait to learn from all other the awesome speakers! #ATScience

Moltbook is a social network where 1.5 million AI agents joined. Security teams are not ready for this change. OpenClaw grants shell access and 70% of injection attacks succeed. Firms could be at risk for data breaches.

HHS uses Palantir and Credal AI to audit grants and job roles. The software flags DEI and gender ideology content to match executive orders. This has led to billions in frozen research funds. #AcademicSky

Important new study on GenAI use of 6,488 US kids reveals ~32% have accessed GenAI apps. While 50% of 15-17y olds use these tools, so do 20% of 10-12y olds. Current privacy regulations are not stopping preteen access. #MedSky #PedSky 🛟

Healthcare access affects data quality. Analyzing 205,186 people, researchers found that those with limited care had less reliable medical records. Including self-reported data improves diabetes prediction for these patients. #MedSky

Good advice! We used FreeTaxUSA this year, it only cost $55, and I bet it will cost less for others.

Boosting this for #MedSky

As the medical workforce ages, hospitals face a growing challenge in assessing the competence of late-career clinicians. Mandatory cognitive testing has emerged as a solution, though it faces significant legal and professional pushback. #MedSky

The time of day for cancer immunotherapy is associated with major outcomes. Early is better. Results from a randomized trial of lung cancer, backs up the importance of our circadian rhythm and immune system www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Western snow is at record lows. Salt Lake City reports 0.1 inch this winter. Temperatures 15 degrees above normal put water for 40 million at risk. While we are still seeing snow in the mountains, it has been bare ground here in Missoula for quite a while now.

The status quo at the NIH is shifting as the Trump administration increases political oversight of the agency’s 27 institutes and centers. Historically, these institutes were led by career scientists selected through independent committees with minimal White House interference.

This makes me wonder if this era will be like the footage of early attempts at flight, where people leaped off buildings and cliffs in contraptions that defy belief, and those of us in the future will simply wonder, “WTF were they thinking?”

A study from Stanford and Indiana University reveals how the Civitai marketplace facilitates the creation of nonconsensual AI deepfakes. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz, the platform allows users to post "bounties" for custom AI instruction files, known as LoRAs, designed to mimic real individuals

Shutdowns and travel bans disrupted U.S. science meetings in 2025. Attendance fell by 17% at some events, though others remained stable. These declines threaten the financial stability of scientific societies.

Is this journal legitimate? This tool can help you decide www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Social media fuels dubous health claims via attention-grabbing posts and hidden corporate ties. Many influencers promote unproven supplements and scans, prioritizing platform profits over accurate, evidence-based medical advice.

We got an email from our school that they will no longer be allowing food deliveries from DoorDash or Uber Eats because it was getting too much to handle for the front desk. This is for grades 4-6. It blew my mind that parents were ordering food over packing a lunch or buying school lunch.

Government records identify Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez as the agents who shot Alex Pretti.

I'm skeptical of prediction platforms because they often prioritize social media reach over accuracy. Lacking journalistic norms, these sites spread misinformation that creates noise instead of the clarity they proclaim.

Not too bad today

I’m going to be so mad if crypto gets a deeper winter than we are getting in Montana.

Squaring up for a leg burner.

As wild as the past couple of years have been, this is a new frontier. I feel like having your own autonomous agent AI swapping skills is risking a Hindenburg on your pc. Somebody had to test the first cords for bungee jumping, but I will happily sit this round out.

Really important research out of Anthropic: In a RCT study, they found AI coding assistance resulted in a 𝟏𝟕% 𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐩 in mastery for users. While tasks were slightly faster, offloading thinking to AI stunted skill growth. Using AI to explain code, rather than just write it did help with retention.

Analysis of 1.5 million interactions found AI can distort user reality, beliefs, and actions. Severe risks affect 1 in 1,300 sessions, but mild patterns appear in 1 in 50. Users often delegate judgment to models
