Five wonderful years at @johninnescentre.bsky.social Thank you @yiliangding.bsky.social , @CarolineDean and @KeLi for your support and guidance, and to the whole lab and all my friends across JIC/TSL. Thanks to Yiliang for organising such a lovely send-off. Now on to the next adventure 💪

Delighted to take part in the Gatsby Summer School as a speaker and tutor. Sharing how we're using AI in plant science, but the real highlight was meeting so many bright young minds genuinely excited about plant biology. @johninnescentre.bsky.social

Ever heard of foundation models but not sure where to start? 🤔 We wrote a review for RNA biologists, no AI background required 😊 Everything explained through RNA biology examples you already know 🧬 @yiliangding.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

We’ve built this virtual plant scientist PlantScience.ai to grow alongside human researchers🌿. It thinks like an expert, cites like a scholar, and never stops learning. Come and have a chat with it! @yiliangding.bsky.social @johninnescentre.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I believe that with this powerful AI model, we can uncover more fascinating rules hidden within plant nucleotides. Thank the support from the @hfspo.bsky.social and @johninnescentre.bsky.social, thank for the support from Prof. @yiliangding.bsky.social. Prof Li, Prof. Zhang and other co-authors.

🧪 Can AI learn the language of plant life? HFSP Fellow Haopeng Yu developed PlantRNA-FM, a foundation model trained on RNA data from 1124 plant species. It decodes how RNA shapes gene regulation, boosting plant science and crop design. 🌱🤖 #HFSPfellowships #AI #PlantBiology #sts 🔗 zurl.co/8Ksoy

It was a great honor to attend the New Phytologist next generation scientists conference. I believe that more and more scientists will harness AI-driven foundation models to uncover new insights in plant science. @newphyt.bsky.social @johninnescentre.bsky.social
