More than 85 American and international scientists have denounced a Trump administration report that calls the threat of climate change overblown, saying the analysis is riddled with errors, misrepresentations and cherry-picked data to fit the president’s political agenda.

Really excited to announce that we’ve made Aurora fully open!

Check out this super exciting work!

Very excited and proud of this incredible team effort!

Explore the future of environmental forecasting with Aurora, an AI model from Microsoft Research. In this Abstracts episode, Megan Stanley and Wessel Bruinsma discuss how Aurora is redefining tropical cyclone and ocean wave forecasting. msft.it/6018Sdhn8

Big news!! 🚀 Aurora, a foundation model for the Earth system, has been published in @nature.com. A massive congrats to the whole team! Very proud of this achievement, and thrilled to see that it’s finally out there. 😊 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A new paper published in Nature explains how Microsoft’s Aurora AI foundation model goes beyond weather forecasting to more accurately predict a range of environmental events, from hurricanes and typhoons to air quality and ocean waves. aka.ms/AAvgi2k

Super excited to announce that Aurora is published, out today in Nature! With Aurora, we demonstrate that the foundation modelling paradigm works for Earth system modelling! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Delightfully humbling

I created a new AI to help me debug my Bash scripts, and named it after my favorite painter. It's doing pretty well!

Exciting news! After nearly 5 years of building AI startups with Radical Ventures, I'm embarking on a new chapter: supporting leading scientists in the UK with ARIA and Pillar VC. Read on! 👇

Forever relevant in the age of social media. Thank you, Wendy Cope.

Great analysis: the extreme reaction to DS R1 is a reflection of the enormous bubble that is bound to burst at some point. (Note that I keep being deeply impressed by the technology itself)

Microsoft researchers introduce MatterGen, a model that can discover new materials tailored to specific needs—like efficient solar cells or CO2 recycling—advancing progress beyond trial-and-error experiments. www.microsoft.com/en-us/resear...

I’d rather slam my fingers in a kitchen drawer than have appliances that are engaging. It’s exactly like when LG thought we wanted internet in our fridge. What’s wrong with these people? Solve heart disease, not conversational refrigeration.

This seems just a tiny bit mad, if true. Actually not just a tiny bit.

Super excited to preprint our work on developing a Biomolecular Emulator (BioEmu): Scalable emulation of protein equilibrium ensembles with generative deep learning from @msftresearch.bsky.social ch AI for Science. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

One of the reasons the university sector has come so spectacularly off the rails is the fact it's so unfriendly to family life, people with caring responsibilities and parents. The attitude is often: 'Not working 24/7? You're not fully committed!' www.science.org/content/arti...

Super excited and proud of the new additions to Aurora! Check them out here :)
