Enjoyed working w/ Stephen & Agnes on this! Gave me a chance to think systematically about where AI 🤖 can backstop human 🧑🏼‍🔬 fallibilities in peer review (fatigue, ordering effects, bias) vs. where human judgment remains essential (novelty, feasibility, creative leaps) while grappling w/ the risks.

This preprint is now out after peer review! Check it out: www.cell.com/cell-genomic.... Huge congrats (and thanks!) to the whole team that contributed!

Thrilled to share our new Forum article in @cp-trendsmicrobiol.bsky.social We (@charmievang.bsky.social @evanbrenner.bsky.social @jananiravi.bsky.social) explore how #MultiOmics + #MachineLearning/#DeepLearning can transform AMR prediction—spotlighting emerging opportunities and challenges!

How to network: ❌Go to a conference ✅Make microbiology-related parody stickers

Transatlantic shout-out to @pinkpetri.bsky.social for these excellent stickers that I gave to @jananiravi.bsky.social, who then immediately stuck them on her office doorway. Since folks keep asking where she got them, go check out the shop! www.etsy.com/shop/pinkpetri
