So the hackathon projects are open and looking super cool. Obviously I am partial to the one me and @magnuspalmblad.bsky.social are doing on GROUNDING.md, but these other ones look amazing! github.com/EuBIC/EuBIC2...

AI is extremely powerful in many ways. Perhaps its most impressive power is the ability to completely evade the critical thinking of many, including smart people. 🧠

Self-promotion or PSA, a little of both? Our (@magnuspalmblad.bsky.social and Jared Ragland) Letter is out in JPR, which tackled the age old question "how can we make AIs follow community-supported domain knowledge?" Answer: use a GROUNDING.md file in your context. 1/7 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Earlier this week I posted an example of a fake western blot provided by ThermoFisher to demonstrate the validity of a p53 antibody. I considered it an amusing curiosity. In fact Thermo Fisher Scientific has systematically manipulated antibody validation data!

Companies selling faulty products by accident recall them and reimburse the customers. Some cost, some (temporary) loss in prestige perhaps. No one goes to jail. This is not the case here. This is more akin to the Theranos or VW emission scandals. And people did go to jail for these.

It is apparently not just this one validation of this one antibody, but a slew of them (shorturl.at/hX75U). A researcher or lab faking one WB is serious. A major company faking many WBs is far more serious, as researchers use these antibodies, trusting they have already been validated.

Finally a direct train from Amsterdam to Hamburg: nos.nl/artikel/2593.... Hamburg is the "gateway to Scandinavia", with regular direct connections to Copenhagen and soon both day- and night trains to Stockholm. Now all we need is a train bridge over Ems for a more direct route to Bremen and Hamburg.
