Supporting the resistance to genocide and lives of Palestinians IS NOT SUPPORTING NAZIs.
An embarrassing statement to even mouth. What a shame.
Will be in SF/Berkeley from 29-4th! Who should I meet up with?!
People in biomanufacturing, longevity, energy, & deeptech 👀
P.S. also any PIs seeing this I love lab tours and learning of new frontiers😄
The headline: “Israel shows Mutilated Babies”
The picture: Palestinian children affected by Israeli airstrikes on Gaza.
This is the third day in a row they do this.
low barrier to entry in putting out software that eats the world - what about hardware talent? synthetic experiments? materials?

are actively pointing to new contributions of citizen science and young talent than ever possible
New York and Boston! Will be in town this week, who should I meet?
Protein engineering, industrial chemistry, lab automation, WGS, satellites, materials, geometric dl (also raising :)).

gosh I remember being 16 and it really does go by so fast it scares me now. Advice: don't think in hours, think in minutes. Time can be your biggest enemy or the best strategic investment of your life.
You're doing great things fellow fencer & researcher, keep up the hustle!
"Cells age faster if you expose them to stress. They burn energy faster. It’s as though cellular anxiety causes cells to breathe faster. They consume more oxygen. They’re wasting energy, and we don’t know why" -

beginning to learn that continuous, illustrious performance do not stem from the lack of fear,
rather having rooted judgment of something greater than fear to accomplish.
If you work in climate/energy, highly recommend you apply⚡️🌎
Michael is not only a fantastic coach & friend to founders, but an active part in cultivating a deep/hard tech community to build alongside with!!
🌎launching climate founder dojo | season 1
feb-april will be a 3 month pop up gym for early stage founders to train + level up
it will be a vetted community, of ambitious, like-minded builders in climate solving tough challenges

"we don’t have accurate sandboxes for the human body, and every time you press “command-B” you spend 10 years and $X00M waiting for the command to run, like it’s the EC3 typo from hell"
conditional generation of entire in vitro reaction pathways will flip drug dev on its head.
the point of systems biologists is to make the field as deterministic as possible from information.
the point of synthetic biologists is to both engineer new methods of generating new information from old information.
flywheel will continue even after cell is modelled.
@hiangelali
Is this a good time for me to say that pre-agricultural lifestyle is the kind of work-life balance I dream for, bc those foragers were on peak performance both mentally and physically
large model like gpt-3/text-to-image models like DALL-E accustomed for
#molecular
modeling.
Would this be of significant use for any PI's/lab groups seeing this? lmk!
ignores idea quality and try to find high-quality founding teams who can iterate on the idea quickly in response to user feedback.
important because there is a difference between authentic user feedback and shiny objects/fads in your industry
Pleasures are fleeting & short term. It’s a real exemplification of law of diminishing returns when something gives you happiness-this can be meditation, cold showers, meals, energy drinks, etc. Everything is simply concave by nature, albeit value of healthy habits remain leveled
Condemning the Israeli government & IDF is NOT anti-semitic
Supporting Palestinians is NOT supporting brutalist acts by Hamas.
I don't need to be Palestinian, Israeli, Muslim, Christian, nor Jewish to have empathy, you just need to be human.
Always in the back of my mind: "The way to end up with a good plan is not to start with a good plan, it’s to start with some plan, and then slam that plan against reality until reality hands you a better plan"
@So8res
film rant!
we don't need multiple adaptations of western classics that 'finally' have actors of color (ahem Pride & Prejudice, with respect!). We need original stories from other parts of the world, with their distinct characters, in western film mediums.
Symmetry of things in a thing (i.e. curvature guides biochemical processes- folding, coil-coil, bindin, conformations).
Biophysics might be the field to look out for in the next 5-30 years as dynamics and geometric dl converges w training bio
Evolution may drive natural selection, but affine spaces and symmetry captures the logic of that selection.
topology and biochem are a perfect marriage. 💍
(My take in the argument that ml is the language for bio as was math the language for physics).
What if, in the future, we actually know the connection between a DNA sequence and a protein that not only elicits an immune response but treats a disease? We could completely change the lives of patients
tech startups are legit a rollercoaster. It's easy to feel lost when crypto bros, who've been long in the game, throw clout knowledge your way.
Once you learn how to validate & refute them, they're purely opinions. True knowledge keeps conversations going, not shutting them down
curious if there are absolutely any groups (besides ofc
@foresightinst
) focused on facilitating grants/talent bridge/apprenticeship for general molecular machines, smth like ?
lack of young folks working on mm's in particular, needs to be accelerated
DL circa 2022 feels like geometry in the 1800s
its gone from 'whats the one true geometry' to 'whats the one true architecture' & 'whats the one true approx adapted for simulating physics'
I often suffer this mental war during every conversation on whether the best option for me is to virtue signal or to keep the judgements aside in my head only if I don't have a 'good enough' constructive thought right in the moment to vocally relay on.
YOU GUYS!!!
DACs (direct air capture) is literally setting the precedent of producing anything from thin air (and of course a method of mitigating anthropocene climate change). People don't realize this - but we're entering the The Diamond Age.
it's just the beginning!

On that note:
Interesting concept on expressing natural language via combination of graphs+embeddings - quasilinguistic neural representations (QNRs)! Would love to see your thoughts on it
