We asked AI to summarize the 2024 Meeting of @AAEV_org, but it fell short of expectations. We wrote about our experience with multiple LLMs, and their performance identifying speakers, citations and terminology. We humans are still in business, for now. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Today the lab celebrated the well-earned retirement from @MDAndersonNews of our IT and Tech Support HERO 💪, Gil. Every discovery, publication, and therapy emerging from the lab is credited in part to Gil, our silent author, without whom none of it would be possible 💙
