Due recognition. Cannot express my joy in seeing nature publish the pioneering role of Alan Christoffels and the South African National Bioinformatics institute in African capacity development. I started SANBI. Alan was one of our first graduates! doi: doi.org/10.1038/d441...

Working at the forefront of human disease RNA medicine is amazing. Watching what is possible. ‘The art of the possible’ becomes ‘the art of resilience’. You can’t stop the tide. You can’t hide truth.

i honestly have never seen a political leader so thoroughly destroy their credibility so quickly and, on the other side, it is abundantly clear that if anyone can claim a genuine leadership of large parts of the democratic party, it is AOC.

Congrats to Natalia Benetti @nataliabenetti.bsky.social of the Mundlos lab, who has received a @ec.europa.eu Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship! In her project SynLncRNAs, Natalia will use synthetic biology to uncover mechanisms of gene regulation by long non-coding RNAs in vivo.

Great to see true vision in person.

Just a shout-out - seeing as I am listening to it - for All India Radio's release of Pink Floyd songs, and especially Set The Controls for the Heart of the Sun and Julia Dream 😍 allindiaradio.bandcamp.com/album/on-pin...

This is a superb opportunity to work with a world leader. Jump on it #postdoc @wkhuber.bsky.social

Never underestimate the power of theatre.

🚨I promised I'd say more on the Royal Society and Elon Musk, so here it is. 🚨 I've resigned my position as Associate Editor at Royal Society's journal Open Science in protest at their lack of action over Elon Musk. My op-ed in @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Unbelievable news. Pancreatic is one of the deadliest cancers. New paper shows personalized mRNA vaccines can induce durable T cells that attack pancreatic cancer, with 75% of patients cancer free at three years—far, far better than standard of care. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

I dont often post politics. The Guardian has published a powerful opinion. Trump’s ‘mission to make lies into policy and to suppress truth’ is exemplified in transphobia. Pick on vulnerable. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The analogy of omics data normalization and cooking: some processing is usually necessary, overcooking makes it bland, highly over-processed foods are unhealthy, and the quality of the ingredients matters.

@2025bilhaiml symposium awesome ai ml overview of the last 20yrs of AI by Peter Szolovits Expected prob. To optimize informative prompts. #ai/ml

Chuck funded biomedical sciences at University of Western Cape. built the largest science building in Africa. gave us hope We delivered. Now Africa has world leading bioinformatics. SANBI.ac.za +others helped that happen. Thank you Chuck. You outshine all the others. You always will.

Great that the Paris summit is surfacing some of our more nuanced thinkers. www.youtube.com/live/W0QLq4q... Worth listening to Mike Jordan in this panel.
