We'll run #NewGen #LabBuilders project Apr-Nov '26: high-school kids will build #frugal life science lab equipment to constitute mobile sets to "travel" to interested Timisoara high schools, using global #opensource resources. Any recommendation?

AlphaGenome is our latest & most advanced genomics model published in @Nature today including making the model & weights available to academic researchers. Can’t wait to see what the research community will do with it. Congrats to the team on our newest front cover! #AI4Science
Our breakthrough AI model AlphaGenome is helping scientists understand our DNA, predict the molecular impact of genetic changes, and drive new biological discoveries. 🧬 Find out more in @Naturegoo.gle/4bXlV6y

Europe, what's your take on this? :)

Balaji Srinivasan proposes a western version of the special economic zone where builders can operate at the speed of physics, not permits. “The special Elon zone, or more generally, the special founder zone... It’s like an essentially uninhibited territory, as close to Burning Man as possible” Ben Horowitz: “I think that’s very doable. There’s so many states in the US that would wanna do that. I know Nevada would wanna do that.” @balajis and @bhorowitz on Network State podcast

If you are an AI safety researcher, book a flight ticket to Tokyo now and watch the "AI dog in chain" art exhibition. Our pre-training data is evolution and mostly physical intelligence. It's the best way to witness and ponder on the meaning of AI safety.

Great opportunity to learn and connect with people interested in life science field!
Intense next week with 4 seminars on various aspects of #bioeconomy/#biotech/#synbio organized by the Faculty of Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology and Environmental Protection of @UPTimisoara w/@SteBiotech of @unimib . Looking forward to be there with @BiocoderdojoT ninjas!

OK, what are you planning to learn/do today?
Congratulations to our scientist, Laurent Simons, for earning his PhD in quantum physics at just 15—an exceptional achievement. In our lab, Laurent’s work focuses on in silico biology to accelerate treatment of devastating diseases. We’re thrilled to have him on the team.

Biotech is the industry with the lowest success rate unfortunately, but at the same time trying to solve the problems that are worth solving the most.

Do you have a #biofoundry in your immediate geography? :)
What is a biofoundry? 🔬 A place where robotics, automation & biology meet — enabling high-speed design, build & testing of biological systems. Transforming research into innovation. 🧬 Learn more: parisbiofoundry.org/ #Biofoundry #SyntheticBiology #ParisBiofoundry

Did this happened to you? :)
Some people say that if you look into genomes for too long, you can even see comments left by the Software Engineer. 😀

Here's how #biology and #AI collide to bring new instruments that will improve humanity's chances to thrive!
Many of the most complex and useful functions in biology emerge at the scale of whole genomes. Today, we share our preprint “Generative design of novel bacteriophages with genome language models”, where we validate the first, functional AI-generated genomes 🧵

Interesting discussion! Grab a pipette, they might dissapear!

Have to get people off the lab bench if you want more people contributing to bioengineering earlier in their careers. it just takes too long to learn all the tacit knowledge of bench work. you have to automate biotech lab work to democratize it.
