Escuchar a Alfonso Valencia hoy en el CBM ha sido una oportunidad para reflexionar sobre el futuro de la biología. Su visión desde el Barcelona Supercomputing Centre @bsc-cns.bsky.social mostró cómo la integración entre IA, datos masivos y biología está redefiniendo la investigación.

When people celebrate the individual genius of folks in science, they should also mourn the collective loss of genius of folks who were actively discouraged or disadvantaged from a career in science because of the same person(s)

In case anyone is wondering if Watson was really THAT bad, @lpachter.bsky.social compiled a list of quotes that are absolutely not for the faint of heart. liorpachter.wordpress.com/2018/05/18/j...

I have a very bad feeling about this...

En Viena hay seis torres nazis de hormigón: colosales, indestructibles. Fueron fortalezas antiaéreas, pero hoy son acuarios o miradores. Porque la ciudad ha entendido lo que hacer con su pasado: transformar la máquina de guerra en memoria. Os lo cuento en #LaBrasaTorrijos 🧵⤵️

Great workshop!

Hasta el 85 funcionó. Hasta 1985.

Let me tell you a story about how a 17th century painter accidentally made one of the most powerful pieces of intersex representation in art, whilst (probably) trying to make an offensive joke for horny nerds...
