I wanna get a DGX Spark lol

LLMs still underperform on understanding evolution Specifically, evolution when represented as a Newick tree file. Rerooting, tree perturbations, etc, still remain challenging for these algorithms

Time to take a break, grab a coffee, unwind

such a fun song by Bakar

TechBioTransformers @techbio.bsky.social has 20+ chapters across the globe - amazing!

it is true✨

Is there a starter pack for biotech that anyone could recommend?

It has been a year since I started consulting with #FutureHouse. Feeling incredibly lucky to have gotten this opportunity to lend a helping hand where I can -- and grow in the process too! Looking forward to continuing to contribute!

Three first-author pubs this year -- and this could only happen because of really great collaborators (two papers in press - more soon!) Got to also be part of the supporting cast for several projects Trying my best to be a mover alongside others doing the same is the best

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as a co-Director of the #Phylogenomics and Evolutionary #Genomics Workshop at Evomics workshops in the beautiful Czech Republic!

Orchestrating international collaborations to move science forward is incredibly rewarding

NEW method! eComp is a new, #evolution-informed #compression method🗜️ for multiple #sequence alignments (#MSAs)...that outperforms gzip! Unlike gzip's row-based compression, eComp implements a simple #column-based solution for compression, following how biological information is stored in MSAs

Stay positive. It matters

I've been using Codex to accelerate software development for personal, scientific, and 'just cuz' reasons. I'm going to start sharing them, so be on the lookout :D I'll soon be sharing an algorithm that outperforms gzip and can compress 3 TB of multiple sequence alignments into ~0.25 TBs
