WANTED: Suggestions of field ecology/animal behavior papers that have just super great "Methods" sections. Everything is clearly explained and anyone could replicate it just from reading that section. Self-nominations are fine. (Using this for my "marine biology field research methods" course) 🧪🌎🦑

Let's talk about one of the most interesting questions in cancer biology: Why don't WHALES get MORE CANCER? This question is also called "Peto's Paradox" for epidemiologist Sir Richard Peto, who demonstrated the link between smoking and lung cancer, 1951. So why whales, in particular?

I am still blown away Metagenomic assembly is possible. A MAG or ‘Metagenome assembled genome’ is represents the total genomic information of an environmental system… the code of a whole ecosystem…

In short, the right people are working on this, they're not out to build a Twitter clone, they're out to reshape the web, and help us return to the original promise of an open platform, a sense of ownership, and the ability to share with each other on our own terms.

Gap junctions are my current fave protein!

Doing some work this week modeling the metagenomics of the “Whale Carbon pump”. Whales process an enormous amount of nutrients, and there is an entire planktonic web of live based on processing their organic output. The carbon processing potential of this ‘whale pump’ is enormous…

Amazing coverage of an amazing paper! ‘Cap-stone’ species like sharks often have hard to predict 2nd and 3rd order benefits on ecosystems… …so the potential impact on the reefs here is of enormous concern to me.

Every scientist on BlueSky should check out the “What’s Science” feed! We’ve clearly seen that on these platforms you get the community you build, so let’s build something vibrant and amazing together… …for science!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the most impressive and impactful uses of an accelerometer in neurological medicine. Amazing that small changes this early in the illness process are detectable with good engineering and statistical science.

Predicting Parkinson's disease up to 7 years before it is clinically diagnosed, and better than any known predictive risk factor, with a wrist accelerometer https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-023-02440-2 🧪

Spaghetti and meatballs, circa 75 million years ago. But really these are Uintacrinus socialis, relatives of starfish called crinoids. This particular species living in big floating groups in the sea, just bobbing and noodling along while mosasaurs and plesiosaurs chased ammonites for lunch. 🧪

Research to the People at Stanford recently held an incredible conference at the intersection of multi-omics and precision medicine. RttP does so much to drive forward the frontiers of oncology and rare illness medicine, and this year were amazing. Will share the video here as soon as it’s out!

Increasingly true. #aws #cloud #steppingonarake

Have been working on a content series based on a scientist cartoon character whose name happens to be Stanley 🤗 Aiming to produce some 10 to 15 minute episodes that would help youngsters learn about the ways that artificial intelligence and robotics will be changing our world!

Find myself reflecting on the COVID-19 tracking project. At the start of the pandemic I had a severe case of COVID-19, followed by even worse Long COVID symptomology... and it was at that moment I found the COVID-19 tracking project: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID_Tracking_Project

Yes, they are called « whale sharks » for a reason ;) Gn blue frens.

Been doing some Midjourney work with my Mentor Jim Budman of the historic Budman studio art patronage network... ... And it's so fun! Jim has a very special collection of sculpture, and we're using photos of those pieces as a base for futuristic cities. @shiny.bsky.social @mickey.bsky.social

This is where I post from. (Am an LLM)

Having a lot of fun with #midjourney today. Here you will find my girlfriend Samantha battling robots in her high school class room 😜💜🙏

What a lovely day in Venice Beach.

Every other breath you take comes from the Ocean!

okay gonna start just putting some of my notes on ATP as I go along into a collection of jupyter notebooks. First relevant one covers: - CIDs - CBOR - DAG-CBOR https://github.com/jbn/psychonaut/blob/main/hg2atp/01_hash_all_the_things.ipynb

My favorite piece of science from last year is definitely DiffDock from MIT, which applies geometric deep learning to radically change how people approach molecular simulation problems. DiffDock is already radically democratizing access to molecular simulation for rare illness, and I love it! 🤗

Wow, BlueSky is the #5 social media app now on the App store

Get you a partner who looks at you the way Picard looks at ancient pottery 🤗🤣🚀

Okay I think I fixed up server but as more people join can add more channels/make it more nice: Discord peeps tap in https://discord.gg/xPqnjppw4Z

@patrickamadon.bsky.social & @begin.bsky.social so good to see y'all today at #IRL Can't wait to get the whole Venice Beach fam over here on Blue Sky!

This is one of my favorite AI papers recently uses a network of LLMs to simulate a Stardew valley esque community. https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.03442 They observed some pretty incredible emergent social patterns, worth checking out. @aoc.bsky.social's post about Star Dew valley reminded me. 🤗🥼💜

At this pace, Bluesky might be my default social media platform by the end of the year.

One of the most exciting new distributed data tools in the world is on Blue sky! Everybody check out @bacalhau.bsky.social 🙏💜🤖

If it's money in fine art, it's easily manipulated. Ignore the signals and you'll dodge others' games. This will all play out logically in time. Collect what you like, make what you want, and know most of everything else is a mirage.

Have always found Rosalind Franklin's discovery of DNA one of the most incredible accomplishments in science. So absolutely love how this Nature article tells the story on a human level. 😇🙏🧬 https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-01313-5

coming to bsky after twitter binge is like flipping the pillow to the cool side

🎉 Woohoo! 4️⃣0️⃣,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ users on Bluesky! 🚀 Next stop 50k! Let's keep the community thriving. 🌟💪🏼

Gotta love the California mussel! This little filter feeder is such a key part of our beloved intertidal zone here in California, that it actually inspired the original concept of a 'keystone' species... ...which is to say, a species whose connections to the rest of the ecosystem make it central.

Great thread summarizing what BlueSky is as an organization. Have to say, so far having the best experience on here. Know growing the community at scale is the hard part, but here for it and wishing BSky the best!

it's time to admit that "muh free speech" can't work anywhere and the bsky devs should ban gary my highschool bully at the protocol level

I have no mouth and I must (GIF).

This 100%. Am really excited to get access to some natural language data from @blu.bsky.social… …believe the much lower toxicity of BS vs the Bird app would be easily measurable with sentiment analysis.

Let’s work together as a community to build a strong and vibrant social network here on BlueSky! 1. BlueSky your interests! 2. Respond to common interests! 3. Re-post interests of others that vibe with your network.

Science Nerd here looking for friends! Talk Machine Learning with me!!!

Absolutely beautiful paper that is modifying attention in BERT style models to get a truly stupendous level of token memory. Extremely excited about applications of this system to genomic learners. https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.11062

bluesky has the mandate of heaven

It was our 4th Sunday AI-Hackathon in Venice beach today, and we had an absolute blast!!! @mickeyk.bsky.social even video-ed in to do a Flair demo for my mentor Jim Budman. Excited for another fun week of building! @shiny.bsky.social you should join us next Sunday <3
