My new post is out 🧬.If you're not paying attention to the DNA sequencing landscape, you should be. Illumina's 80%+ market share is finally facing some highly innovative challengers. The next frontier emerges: from how do we read DNA to how will we interpret all of this new data

So…. I had to come back on social media to tell you that an orange shark with white eyes was spotted near Tortuguero National Park in Costa Rica…. For the first time…. Ever . (That we know of)

Just had a lovely conversation with Hannah about the awesome protein dynamics insights from her research and model Dyna-1. The predictive molecular dynamics future is looking bright.
Protein dynamics was the first research to enchant me >10yrs ago, but I left in PhD bc I couldnt find big expt data to evaluate models. Today w @ginaelnesr, I'm thrilled to share the big dynamics data I've been dreaming of, and the mdl we trained: Dyna-1.

A question I’m asking myself today as I write about cultivating a “biological sense of wonder”:. How can we get people to appreciate biological feats as instinctively as they grasp the significance of something like humans landing on the moon.

Left: a rubber flip flop - $865. Right: 1st bioluminescent houseplant straight out of a sci-fi (!!) - $59. Not saying bio needs to be obscenely expensive. But every other industry knows it’s not about what you sell, but the stories you tell. People should feel the magic of bio
