“In nearly every industry, the United States’ most transformative innovations over the last eight decades depended on government funding, because the government was the most patient and reliable actor willing to take on risks for the public benefit.” And China will reap the benefits.

Science is under attack. The NIH, the NSF, and our research universities. So today, I have a message for America's scientists: youtu.be/MeoZDPy5cIY?...

The jury is clear on this one

"Is all AI work a grave affront to the human spirit? No. But most is.

If you're training LLMs to train other LLMs you've given up on the core goal of science: human understanding"

And someone replies:

"And shitposting "

My colleague sent me this paper and said she missed her bus stop reading it. I opened the link and was pleasantly surprised to see it’s a game-changing paper from a great team! Congrats!

By @katherinejwu.com "The NIH... supported 99 percent of the drugs approved in the U.S. from 2010 to 2019. The agency has had a hand in “nearly all of our major medical breakthroughs over the past several decades,” The NIH is in a struggle for its (and our) lives. This is existential to America:

Administration officials pressured NIH to avoid clear advice from the agency’s own lawyers to restart grant funding now.

Excited to meet some of the students recently admitted to our CBC and QSB grad programs at tomorrow's Grad Visitation Day at @ucmerced.bsky.social. I'm also excited about my annual office cleaning, which coincidentally, was today 😅

How do distal mutations contribute to enzyme catalysis? Our new study, in collaboration with @thompson-lab.bsky.social, Marc Garcia-Borràs, and @ferranfeixas.bsky.social, reveals how they optimize structural dynamics & local electric fields to drive the catalytic cycle. 🧵👇
