If you've been hearing a lot about "AI Scientists" and wondered how much is real, how much is hype, and what's possible, so have I. So I spent some time thinking about it and this came out. open.substack.com/pub/ubadah/p...

prudent reminder for scientists today, from a thousand years ago

The seeker after truth is not one who studies the writings of the ancients and, following his natural disposition, puts his trust in them, but rather the one who suspects his faith in them and questions what he gathers from them, the one who submits to argument and demonstration and not the sayings of human beings whose nature is fraught with all kinds of imperfection and deficiency. Thus the duty of the man who investigates the writings of scientists, if learning the truth is his goal, is to make himself an enemy of all that he reads, and, applying his mind to the core and margins of its content, attack it from every side. He should also suspect himself as he performs his critical examination of it, so that he may avoid falling into either prejudice or leniency.
Ibn al-Haytham

New job @arcadiascience.com! Ideally you've got a few years of experience post-PhD, in academia or elsewhere, and have some computational fluency in addition to experimental expertise. Added bonus, you'd get to join our pastry-fueled preprint comment parties like the one we're having today :)

When choosing a model organism, scientists often focus on a handful of species. But the tree of life offers much more, so how can we leverage it? Scientists @arcadiascience.com mapped 1 billion+ years of evolution and developed a rational approach anyone can use: doi.org/10.57844/arc...
