The highest quality video of the moon was just released… so beautiful * Artemis II

I know I'm in the minority among editors, but I don't have a problem w/words like "Remarkably", "Surprisingly", etc, *when used appropriately* Sometimes, everything points to something, & you've set your experiments in a certain way, only to find something else. And I think it's fine to convey that

And here’s the eclipse photo from Artemis II. I am in tears.

We are bridging the gap between real-time brain function and the molecular mechanisms that drive it. Molecular insights into neurotransmission offer a major step toward precision treatments for psychiatric and neurological conditions. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

CAR T cell therapy has shown strong results against certain cancers, but metabolic exhaustion limits its effectiveness over time. In Cell, the @maayanlevy.bsky.social & @christophthaiss.bsky.social labs report that a common supplement can fuel CAR T cells to fight cancer more effectively.

Every time you experience something new, your brain faces a decision: Should it update an existing memory or create a new one? In our new paper in @sfnjournals.bsky.social #JNeurosci, we isolate that exact decision, moment-by-moment during learning 🧵

One thing I've learned about grad student interviews is to stop asking "Why do you want to go to graduate school?" and start asking candidates to reason backward from the end of the PhD. Who will you become? What will you do that you couldn't before? You learn so much more.

Evo 2, the largest fully open biological AI model to date, is now published in @nature.com youtu.be/o_w-E--u7GQ
