Every newborn baby in England will have their DNA mapped to assess their risk of hundreds of diseases. Genomic screening of newborns for rare diseases will involve sequencing their complete DNA using umbilical cord blood samples. 🧪👶🏽🧬🩸 #medsky www.bbc.com/news/article...

Interesting article referencing a study on LLMs and their ability to reproduce content from copyrighted text: arstechnica.com/features/202... Nice explanation of the method and discussion on the legalities of #GenAI too

So proud to work with a society publisher. We give every penny of profit to the Institute of Physics who do phenomenal work supporting physicists in research and practice. This model enables the system to be circular, with investment right back into the community we serve.

Feeling a lot like I did in early days of the pandemic these days. It is so clear what’s coming: The people that will die because of cuts in global health, because of cuts to research, because of the concerted anti-vaccine push. It’s clear what’s coming, but we will have to wait to count the dead.🧪

🧬🧠 New AI tool identifies 170+ cancers from DNA crossNN is a machine learning model that spots tumour types from DNA samples – even when tested on different lab technologies. It works fast, explains its answers, and gets up to 99% right 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s43... #SciComm #Cancer #AI 🧪

Should AI be used to recommend peer reviewers? 🧪 “Despite some diversity in institutional and collaboration networks, models favor highly cited and productive scholars, reinforcing the rich-get-richer effect while offering limited geographical representation” arxiv.org/abs/2506.00074

Well, that's how they're going to bury H5N1 if it gets loose. Maybe the people who track billionaires' jets can give us a heads-up when they all suddenly start running for the hills.

Trump really seems to prefer misinformation to actual facts. Why else would he have abruptly cancelled thousands of research grants (throwing perhaps 10,000 scientists and their families on the streets). www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Patient was posting from a Musk implant, with the help of Musk's AI, on a Musk media platform and in reply to a Musk fanboy, if not actually the “alt” of the richest person in the world. So it’s fair to ask: Where does patient end and Musk’s ecosystem begin? www.technologyreview.com/2025/05/07/1...
