We ran a lovely feature about the experience of getting hearing aids last month: slate.com/technology/2...

Does everyone in your community agree on some folk knowledge that isn’t published anywhere? Put it in a paper! It’s a pretty valuable contribution

Just announced: 2025 Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD) GRC program

The topic: "Exploring the Synergy of Machine Learning and Physics-Based Computational Chemistry to Accelerate Drug Discovery"

It is shaping up to be a seminal conference. Hope to see you there!

Understanding Biology in the Age of Artificial Intelligence Modern life sciences research is increasingly relying on artificial intelligence approaches to model biological systems, primarily centered around the use of machine learning (ML) models. Although...

Our preprint on “Understanding Biology in the Age of Artificial Intelligence” is now live! Read more at arxiv.org/abs/2403.04106
We explore the interplay between AI and scientific understanding in biology with implications for the future of scientific research.

When an article says "some scientists think" then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn't given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

Is it hot? does it look good? Are you proud to serve it?

Questions to ask of your data before giving that seminar:

Sesame Street: Elmo and Kids Meet a Marine Biologist featuring @hihokids Let's take a dive into the wonderful world of the ocean! Elmo and his friends from HiHo Kids meet a Marine Biologist who studies animals that live in the sea...

Elmo was cracking me up on set when we shot this video.

Me: mucous can seem kinda gross
Elmo: no no. Mucous doesn’t SEEM gross, it IS gross

I had so much fun sharing Jersey shore wildlife with these kids!

I keep thinking about this conversation from a few years ago...

I am currently recruiting a computational postdoc in my lab at CU dashnowlab.org
The candidate would develop and use computational genomics methods to understand the genetic underpinnings of rare diseases and increase diagnoses.

'In this Review, we present current knowledge on the role of MDSCs in the immunotherapy of melanoma. We describe the accumulation, infiltration & immunosuppressive functions of MDSCs in the tumor microenvironment as well as existing therapeutic strategies to target them in melanoma-bearing hosts'

FMT just seems weird to me, but if it works, it works !
