@bioalgorithmist I'm not referring to any particular tool. I'm referring to how scientists are presenting their science and that of others. It's getting so bad that it's impossible for any non-domain expert to believe anything anyone claims. This is extremely troubling for credibility of science.

Excellent example of the core issue I was trying to get at wrt "virtual cells" - optimizing a prediction objective will not necessarily provide an accurate representation of physical or biological phenomena. It's extremely important to be very clear about this. 1/

Can an AI model predict perfectly and still have a terrible world model? What would that even mean? Our new ICML paper formalizes these questions One result tells the story: A transformer trained on 10M solar systems nails planetary orbits. But it botches gravitational laws 🧵

It was a dark time in the pre-Benchling era in my "ecosystem." Worth noting that people who say this exist. Long live @benchling and props to their VCs.

Huge respect and admiration for Benchling, but I cant take one more vc telling me about their “strategy” of being free for academics and then selling to them once in industry. That was a mistake! Later re-packaged into a cute story that is very hurtful to our ecosystem.

@Jeff_Mold I am so mixed on this alternative, its funding and findings. But it beats streptozocin injection in mice. Both are perhaps false choices. youtu.be/DCtBLewRvjM?si…

NYC's public college system paid Oracle ~$600M to build our course management portal. It's built on top of Oracle's PeopleSoft suite, which they refused to customize without an extra $400M (to hit $1B). New Yorkers got the image below and pay $5M+ / year for *hosting*.

Fascinating study @NatureComms from @RohacsTibor showing that phosphatidic acid can regulate PIEZO2, the mechanosensitive ion channel — and so glad to see yet another application “in the wild” of optoPLD, @ReikaTei’s optogenetic membrane editor for phosphatidic acid! #lipidtime

I always had a hunch that phosphatidic acid regulates ion channel function. This paper from @RohacsTibor and colleagues shows this nicely. nature.com/articles/s4146… #IonChannels

The best clickbait is google images molecular clickbait. How else do you read a calcium signaling paper with a "Parabolic Flight Experimental Design" methods section. mdpi.com/2227-9059/10/1…

Tried to express and purify your own Tn5 transposase only to run into stability or activity issues? Our new @biorxiv preprint describes OpenTn5: a robust, high-yield protocol for producing a stable pG-Tn5 transposase fusion. Spearheaded by @Jan_Soro. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We posted a new preprint (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…). We've been thinking about how to characterize TF function. One challenge is that function and occupancy are difficult to disentangle. We use a simple model and a simple system to test how promoter features change function.
