Over the past few months, I’ve been tracking and curating a database of AI-involved drug candidates, 380+ so far across 88 companies. It’s a mix of repurposed drugs, AI-designed molecules, and smarter clinical trials. (Link to database in article) www.aiinlabcoat.com/p/what-makes...

The United States has lost its traditional allies, gotten in bed with Russia and is on the verge of becoming a police state, with inflation about to go up, massively, and people over on X are … posting Studio Ghibli memes.

Nobel laureate David Baker on US cutting science funding: "With the current turmoil, China could surpass the U.S. in the near future, and we may be buying advanced medicines and other scientific-research-intensive products from Chinese companies in the not too distant future." 🧪🖥️🩺🧬

AI healthcare startups raised $1.5B in February, but there’s more to the story. • U.S. deregulation vs. stricter state rules • Europe’s AI Act enforcement kicks in • China’s open-source brings competition • India ramps up AI investment Here’s my breakdown for this month. 👇 bit.ly/3R8h9aG

Turns out Mars’ red color comes from ferrihydrite, a mineral that forms in wet environments. So the planet wasn’t always dry—it had a past, a history. Now it just sits there, covered in dust, reminding us that things change and not always for the better. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

I get the protest, but the fact that artists even have to do this to be heard says everything. AI training without permission is just another way of saying "free labor." If musicians (or any creator) have to "opt out," they’re already losing. techcrunch.com/2025/02/24/1...

we have AI writing essays, cars driving themselves, and yet a self-checkout still panics when I try to buy produce.

Google’s new AI co-scientist can propose hypotheses, and suggest experiments. Maybe write your papers too. I can't wait for reviewers to reject them with the some vague feedback and demand 10 more unnecessary citations. research.google/blog/acceler...

A first-of-its-kind analysis reveals which universities have the highest rates of retracted scientific papers. Some institutions have retraction rates 50 times the global average! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

reviewer #1: "great work, minor edits." reviewer #2: "I think the entire field of study should be reconsidered."

my hydro bills have that fun element of surprise, like a mystery box, but instead of a cool prize, it’s just financial stress.

The storm’s still going, so be safe, take breaks, and if your neighbor is out there with a tiny shovel, maybe lend a hand—or at least offer moral support from the window.

Ontario’s getting 35 cm of snow, which means my snowblower and I have a rare chance to be the most popular duo on the block.

Cooking instructions are wild. “season to taste”, “cook until done”, “let it rest.” These are TERRIBLE SOPs!

I love hearing that inflation is “cooling” while my grocery bill suggests I’ve started feeding a family of 12.

💰 AI healthcare funding hit $2.2B in January. A strong month, but global AI moves and new policies helped set the pace. Full breakdown here ⬇️ www.aiinlabcoat.com/p/ai-healthc...

DEI is out because diversity is apparently the problem. "Biodiversity" might be next. Too many species and too much variation. Real patriots stick to cattle, corn, and whatever survives deregulated pollution.

Absolutely brutal reviews of the Paris AI Summit. (4 examples below, click to see the full images) U.S. and UK are reportedly not planning to sign the proposed statement and @tegmark is urging countries not to sign. Almost nobody seems to be happy.

I love how academia calls it a “prestigious fellowship” when it’s basically a part-time job that pays less than minimum wage.

AI in healthcare is having a moment. $2.2B raised, 50 startups funded, and that's only January. Stay informed with the latest Healthcare AI research, policy, and funding 👇 https://buff.ly/4hQpY4h #AI #AInews #Healthcare

You can spend years researching, publishing, and presenting, then a tech bro skims the abstract, adds “AI-powered” to the title, and raises $50 million. Peer review never stood a chance.

The largest completed AI mammography trial found AI catches 29% more cancers, cuts radiologists’ workload by 44%, full results coming May 2025!

Toronto's housing market is just like AI. Everyone claims to understand it, but in reality, it’s mostly hype, hallucinations, and a few people getting very rich.

Lab rules: if a machine costs under $100, it will last forever. If it costs over $100, it will break the night before your deadline.

nothing haunts an academic more than that one paper you swore you saved but is now lost in the void of ‘recently closed tabs.’

The adjective for gold is golden, but not so for lead, which is… misleading.
