1/10 ML can solve PDEs – but precision🔬is still a challenge. Towards high-precision methods for scientific problems, we introduce BWLer 🎳, a new architecture for physics-informed learning achieving (near-)machine-precision (up to 10⁻¹² RMSE) on benchmark PDEs. 🧵How it works:

Research is for everyone. Grateful to @WBEZ to talk about why research is important and why stopping hurts people and our leadership as the #1 country for innovation. wbez.org/reset-with-sasha-an…

Here's to @LucksLab killing it on @WBEZreset today, laying out the damage that the random ransacking of @DeptofDefense grants means for edu, innovation & water 🚰 🧪safety. "If you wind the whole thing down, where are the new ideas going to come from?" wbez.org/reset-with-sasha-an…

Research that benefits everyone is being cut. This is real. The wonderful people at @NUSynBio are working hard to help people. This jeopardizes all of it.
It brings me no pleasure to post today's coverage of the assault on science being wrought by the bonkers federal clowns. This @Suntimes story features damage to my husband's lab. If critical @DeptofDefense work isn't even spared... @LucksLab @NUSynBio chicago.suntimes.com/educati…

Great collaboration between Gajendra Shekhawat of SPID/ NUANCE and Julius Lucks of Synthetic Biology. Remarkable to see unusual combo of biomolecular interactions anchored on microfabricated platform for water sensing! Just wow!!

A new joint initiative between @NUFeinbergMed and @NorthwesternEng aims to steer the development of new research “neighborhoods” on Northwestern’s Chicago campus, expanding on current research priorities, which include #syntheticbiology. bit.ly/3QH9HmH
