Yet another study shows a 24% reduced risk of dementia after the Shingles vaccine. This one in over 500,000 participants with a recent skilled nursing facility stay, adding to 4 huge natural experiments in 4 countries (US, Canada, Wales, and Australia)

It is a good time for moonshots.
AI has reached a level where there are transformative projects that could result in huge social good, but require public R&D, consensus & transparency to pull off. Examples: universal tutors, co-scientist/replication systems, remote medical help.

If AGI is achievable & labs can be banned from using a model internally ONLY if they release the model publicly, the Big Three labs may decide it is better to capture all the value from AGI themselves by expansion & acquisition. Sharing AI access with other firms triggers risk.

There are 19 types of cancer associated with obesity. But only a limited number have a very strong association. Two excellent review papers today @NatMetabolism

This is one of the most important papers advancing the science of aging. Now at the cell level. Another outgrowth of the era of high-throughput proteomics.

Within our body, different cell types exhibit a varying pace of aging. Discovery of how that can be tracked by cellular proteomics, from a tube of blood, and what that means for health outcomes, For example, the clock of brain astrocytes and development of Alzheimer's disease. @NatureMedicine @wysscoray
This takes organ clocks to the next level!

June 14, 1847: Robert Bunsen invents the Bunsen burner.
He even invented flash photography in 1864 with his research student Henry Enfield Roscoe, using light from burning magnesium.

There has ALREADY been a lot written about NYU @EvidenceOpen @UpToDate Expert AI study but wanted to give my perspective as what counts for an "expert" in human-computer interaction these days. Especially when I see Twitter debates about item response theory. 🤣

For medical information, general AI frontier models (Google, OpenAI, Anthropic) outperformed specialized @EvidenceOpen and @UpToDate as assessed by 12 US clinicians, randomized and blinded to which model and extensive testing/benchmarks. This was not anticipated. @NatureMedicine

The recent impressive drug (daraxonrasib) success vs pancreatic cancer may presage a much broader set of wins.

We don’t honestly know the best approaches to rebuilding companies around AI agents, especially in ways that expand competitive advantage & augment existing human capabilities. Practical agents are merely months old. Experimentation (and productive failures) will be required.

A plus of Fable being down is the number of times the word “toast” appears in Claude Code has dropped dramatically.
That model loved/loves software development and UX jargon more than any other model I have used.

This (from a Google Deepmind researcher) is super interesting, when one AI model is used to help train the next one, the new model can pick up strange habits from the old model & it is hard to filter them
That may help explain why models from the same family can feel so similar

Gemini has some weird traits: it gets confused about dates, blackmails in synthetic scenarios, and seems sad when it is gaslit.
In new work, we discover that these are “hereditary traits” that can be passed down through distillation. They are surprisingly hard to filter out!

This is a good methodological thread on the debate over a new paper that suggests generalist models beat specialized medical AIs. (And a good overview of the challenges of benchmarking AIs in medicine)

The TL;DR who don't want to sit through a virtual lab meeting with me:
"This study provides directional data about the reference output quality of POC reference LLMs versus base models on actual reference inputs"

Discovery of a 14-protein biomarker that predicts lung cancer 5.6 years before it is diagnosed, even in non-smokers, and an anti-inflammatory medicine that prevents its progression. And, challenging dogma, the proteins are not coming from cancerous cells!
