🧬 DNA Discovery at Mini Med School! Dr. Michelle Giglio & Dr. Joe Receveur from @genomescience.bsky.social taught students how genetic info makes us unique. Highlights: building DNA models, extracting real DNA from strawberries, and apparently a LOT of strawberry smashing. 🍓 #MedED #STEMEd

The human genome is no blueprint or algorithm — it’s something else entirely, something living with promiscuous logic. Can new genomic AI models, such as Evo 2 and AlphaGenome, untangle these tricky knots or will the genome confound them, too? www.quantamagazine.org/why-the-huma...

Our genetic heritage is not a blueprint or an algorithm, as many biologists have imagined, but something else entirely.
