Some folks have wanted to list Claude as a co-author on @arxiv.bsky.social submissions, which is not permitted. But if it had been allowed, so many Claude-written papers have been rejected at this point, that Claude would be banned from the platform

After 5 years of data collection, our WARN-D machine learning competition to forecast depression onset is now LIVE! We hope many of you will participate—we have incredibly rich data. If you share a single thing of my lab this year, please make it this competition. eiko-fried.com/warn-d-machi...

This is such an important point. #PSB2026 -- a scientific meeting with lots of AI & biomedicine researchers -- was full of this sort of anthropomorphizing language. We as researchers need to be much more careful! And I have been citing that Drew McDermott article forever. It's great throughout.

Letter of resignation from @jennifer-troyer.bsky.social former Dir of Extramural Ops at NHGRI "The NIH is not only no longer the organization that I love but is now an organization that I can no longer be a part of and retain my integrity and self-respect." www.linkedin.com/posts/jennif... 1/6

I loved this 🧵. I was peripherally involved with both "mainstream" (ha!) and contact juggling communities, but had no idea the complicated history!

The district court injunction that prevented NIH from capping indirects at 15% was upheld today on appeal! www.reuters.com/world/trump-...

Mildred Cho's #PSB26 Teri Talk: Will Generative AI Ruin Science?

Eric Green’s title

Phil Bourne (virtually) introducing Eric Green's PSB keynote #psb26 @pacsym.bio

First day of PSB plenary getting under way. @pacsym.bio #psb26 to follow...

Naively, I never considered it - if we are to successfully ‘colonise’ space we need to get much better at understanding & building functional ecosystems that include recycling & environmental regulation. We know how to build rockets; time to better understand biology 🧪 economist.com/leaders/2025...

Today is the first day of #PSB2026. Looking forward to another great conference. So nice to see so many old friends. psb.stanford.edu

One of the chief virtues of the book is that it’s nearly the only remaining form of media that isn’t constantly being interrupted by ads. Between the covers is the last place on earth where no one is trying to sell you shit, a place where you can still be a human being rather than a mark.

Ex-Meta chief AI scientist Yann LeCun has Lunch with the FT and in one of those instances so rare that you know he didn't sign an NDA, says exactly why as.ft.com/r/e503690d-8...

I find this article absolutely charming. I'm in @drrachelbarr.bsky.social ! "Romanticism is an act of reintegration. It’s scientists who write poetry, doctors who paint, philosophers who walk in the woods. It’s an attempt to make the world whole again."

Our imagination has failed us, we live worse because of it, and our zealotry is now exporting ideas abroad that inspire not enhanced liberty but sharper tools of oppression We’re losing what we are as a nation, and bringing the rest of the free world down with us www.greatpower.us/p/2025-the-a...

Blue shift - No to the "year in review", No to affirmations. Yes to being and becoming in the flow of space and time: aware, attentive, and amidst.

His advice is to look beyond the now: "If you have political will that is designed to destroy and they have the power to destroy, it is almost futile to try to push against the destruction. Instead, you have to get through the dark age by sort of deciding what the Renaissance is going to look like"

I've been thinking about the "virtual cell" concept and wanted to write up a few thoughts. Specifically on how I think the prior experience in GWAS informs the most likely way these models will be useful. andrewcarroll.github.io/2025/12/23/t...

"In a pan-cancer AI fairness analysis... we identify significant performance disparities in 29.3% of diagnostic tasks across demographic groups defined by self-reported race, gender, and age. FAIR-Path effectively mitigates 88.5% of these disparities" www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The dysfunction at the top of NIH is heartbreaking and devastating.

The next step in RFKJr's mass murder of children. Abominable

RFKJr in a nutshell: Reprehensibly unethical study, not peer reviewed, paid for with your tax dollars, which will kill children.

This is my cyclical reminder that there's really only one consistently reliable source of info in the public record that isn't owned by right wing billionaires, who really want to put an end to it. Please give at least the $2.75 minimum they request if you can. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

This is a wild result! A whole new kind of cellular control of chemistry to explore. Nice bit of shade on h-index worship as a bonus....
