Owen Ouyang @owenouyang.bsky.social · 04/09/2025I'm thrilled to share that the oPool⁺ display is on the cover of this week's #ScienceTranslationalMedicine! We hope that the future use of this platform can accelerate antibody characterization, benefit therapeutic & vaccine development, and facilitate iterative refinements of antibody AI models. 2145
Reposted by Owen OuyangecrLife @ecrlife.bsky.social · 03/07/2025Academia is built on collaboration and mentorship. However, as ECRs, we tend to hesitate to reach out to our seniors. In our latest ecrLife post, @owenouyang.bsky.social encourages young scientists to give it a try, since many seniors are happy to write back and provide advice. tinyurl.com/35u7hw5hecrlife.orgReaching Out to Senior Scientists: A Step Worth TakingWhen we start out as early career researchers, we often hesitate to reach out to senior scientists. However, they are often excited to help young scientists. Here, Owen Ouyang discusses how mentorship... 013
