How much data do we need to train protein language models that can predict experiments? . TLDR: we need to be much smarter about WHAT data to acquire.🧠 New years of data in the UniRef sometimes help. or hurt! . Check out @AvivSpinner's new paper!.

Going rogue! I love it 💪.

Thanks so much to ElevenLabs for their original Notion ELN template!! 🫶🙏 We have gotten such good use out of it, and by writing this guide I hope to pay it forward!.

An AI-ready lab notebook for life science doesn't need to be complex or expensive. At @Pioneer__Labs, we use a lab management system built entirely with generic software tools. It's simple, cheap, and easy to modify. See our now how-to post ⬇️

Would love to hear what people think of this anonymity design. Any edge cases we haven't thought of?.

In general, most people seem to want to share they're participating. The exception seems to be that some for-profits have reasons why they don't want to reveal they entered if they don't win. I'm excited this level of anonymity allows them to participate! Dying to see how they.

If you want Align to tag you in social posts, let us know! Email tournament@alignbio.org. More discussion = more community = better learnings 💪

It is also up to you if you want to share that you’re participating at all. If you choose to share your participation, your results are still anonymous if you aren't a top competitor.

Who-scores-what is anonymous by default, except for the top scoring teams, who are automatically de-anonomyzed.

FAQ: Is the Tournament anonymous? . Here's how it works: ⬇️.

By this time next year, either: . 🏆 we'll have engineered PETase enzymes actually work industrially & recycle plastic. or we'll know that AI-for-proteins is still a bit underbaked 😜. Excited to see what happens!!!! 😬 . Spread the word ⬇️.
