My main gripe with the alphafold example is how it shows you need decades and decades of high quality data, well structured, open and accessible to train a model -- and yet they always gloss over it and pretend it's just AI and magic. No, we need to continuously invest in real data and FAIR data.

Yesterday, we announced five new global teams who will take on five new challenges. Meet the new teams here 👉https://features.cancergrandchallenges.org/newteams/

B.C. to end time changes, adopt year-round daylight time | CBC News March 8 will be the last time British Columbians have to change their clocks, B.C. Premier David Eby announced Monday.

British Columbia has adopted permanent daylight time. Some other locations that previously tried eliminating time changes later re-imposed them. It will be interesting to see to see whether the new protocol sticks in BC and whether other jurisdictions follow suit.

Pleased to share our new @natcancer.nature.com
paper, where we harmonized cfMeDIP-seq across 11 cancer types, integrating methylation & fragmentation to boost detection. This resource strengthens the foundation for liquid biopsy monitoring to enable better, earlier, less invasive care.

I have to believe in the many worlds hypothesis because, somehow, we ended up in the worst of all possible worlds. I have to believe worlds that evaded this horrific fate must exist.

Former Liberal cabinet minister Kirsty Duncan dies at 59 OTTAWA — Former Liberal cabinet minister Kirsty Duncan has died at the age of 59 following a years-long battle with cancer. Born on Oct.

Gutted to learn of the passing of Dr Kirsty Duncan.

She was a tireless fighter for the people she served, not only her local community in Toronto but others, especially the science & research &
athletics communities too.

She championed equity, diversity, inclusion and made change happen.

🤍🙏🏻
