Peak zero-shot learning:

American "Battle Royale"... It's not Onion, and we're comfortably away from 1. April.

This is an interesting read. I knew about Nagel's work on coffee stains. And when I read this part, "...I mean, would you give tenure to someone who’s studying coffee stains?" it made me sad. There is less and less room for beauty and curiosity in science. www.quantamagazine.org/finding-beau...

I'm a bit surprised by these numbers. There's bigger resistance than I would've guessed: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

One of those days in the lab.

Another piece of scientific fact put into question by Trump's administration, where refuting the antiquated idea of biological race called "anti-american idealogy". It is interesting how similar patterns emerge with fascism. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

You're my kind of crazy (and old) if you find this coding walkthrough for controlling SID chip in C64 using machine code inside BASIC interpreter where IRQ mapping is used to turn the screen content into a real time music controller, the coolest thing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly5B...

Leider finde ich es bei den Max-Planck-Instituten weniger überraschend: p.dw.com/p/4rhHK

I found this interview with Curtis Yarvin quite helpful in understanding a lot of non-sensical directions the US is headed. I am also genuinely frightened by how hard it has become to state the obvious in the face of the "techno-monarchy" ideas. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/m...

openRxiv has arrived! We’re thrilled to announce the launch of openRxiv as an independent, researcher-led nonprofit to oversee bioRxiv and medRxiv, the world’s leading preprint servers for life and health sciences. openrxiv.org/introducing-... #openRxiv #OpenScience #Preprints #bioRxiv #medRxiv

We're stuck on this weird timeline. www.newsweek.com/putin-agrees...

For me, this altercation was the first time a leader of a country acted in front of Trump the way it made sense. Not surprisingly, as is the case with all bullies, it also brought the worst in Trump out. Need more of this. bbc.com/news/videos/...

Hello blue sky! Excited to be a part of the scientific community on this platform.

OMG, great stand up comedy is going on at CPAC. 🤣

Honored to be part of this amazing work, where synaptic vesicle fusion has been studied by a clever combination of optogenetic stimulation and cryoET. I welcomed the opportunity to contribute with mesoscopic simulations involving dynamic membranes. Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to share our new preprint "Dynamic nanoscale architecture of synaptic vesicle fusion in mouse hippocampal neurons" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We combine optogenetic stimulation of neurons with in situ cryo-ET to characterize membrane dynamics during synaptic vesicle fusion ❄️🔬⏱️

Some effective eye bleach for weekend use! 😍

I have a bad fever today, so I hope it was all delirium what I just watched and not a sci-fi apocalyptic scene where democracy is superseded by whatever this is going to be. I've been trying very hard to hear the word "democracy" once.

Hear me out! The way things go, I believe this journal has huge potential.

I made one 🦋

We are seeking an outstanding #PhD candidate to join our team (www.duartegroupchem.org)! If you know potential candidates interested in combining #ML and #compchem reaction modelling for catalyst design, please share this opportunity with them! 🗓 Deadline: 31/01/25 📥 Application: shorturl.at/nHyAo

Jan 1, and my first day as an Asst. Professor at Berkeley. The lab opens in just a few weeks and I am currently staffing at all levels- www.lotuslofgren.com/new-page-1

Former US president Jimmy Carter has died, at the age of 100. The Iran hostage crisis was his undoing in 1980, which meant he lost to Reagan for his second term. Some argue that a lot went downhill with US politics and economical imbalance afterwards. bbc.com/news/article...

....and here are the details for those interested in a postdoc with us...

Hi - if any newly minted PhD students interested in a 1-year post in AstraZeneca in Cambridge, UK working on drug resistance - please share with your networks. An opportunity to see what it's like in industry. astrazeneca.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/Careers/job/...

I am hiring a postdoctoral scholar with a start date summer or fall 2025. Projects will be focused on thermodynamically consistent generative models, broadly defined. If you’re interested, please send a CV and one paragraph about why you think you’d be a good fit to [email protected]

In a @currentbiology.bsky.social paper earlier this year, led by @laurawesseldijk.bsky.social, we analysed Beethoven’s genome with a polygenic index related to musicality, as a way to communicate limits of genetic predictions at the individual level & the complexity of links between DNA & behaviour:

POSTDOC IN MOL SIMULATIONS AND AI Open position in my group, apply here: iit.taleo.net/careersectio... Looking for motivated candidates. 👍💪🥇

DeepMind's Genie 2 can now make a 3D game-like environment that responds to movement and action commands (generates new frames from an input image and keystrokes). Their proposed usecase is RL agent training. But add a stereoscopic VR view, and count me an agent! deepmind.google/discover/blo...

They welcomed the little bot to the reality club! www.kickstarter.com/projects/alb...

In November, 143 people died of an “unknown disease” in a rural area of Democratic Republic of the Congo. These individuals had flu-like symptoms such as a high fever and severe headaches, and the number of people infected continues to rise.

Hello! I'm posting this both here and on the X-rated site, let's see where it gets more re-posts 😇. We are looking for a research software engineer to help us develop (even) better code for #compchem #atomicscale #machinelearning. Check out the specs and apply! www.epfl.ch/labs/cosmo/i...
