Building @cultivariumFRO. I like bio+hardware+software. Views can be yours too.

Here's the masterplan.
What do we need to make it possible to write genomes as easily as we can read them? ✍️🧬 Our ideas on where to start are here.. https://t.co/pajHACnlvx

Oof, didn’t see this coming
Scoop: Arena BioWorks, the buzzy research institute that launched nearly two years ago with $500 million to support a decade of scientific R&D, is abruptly shutting down, the institute confirmed to @statnews. https://t.co/OGGhOxfNF9 W/@Jasonmmast

Want to shout out @glebkuz @PierceOgdenJ who recently and to great success used the pharma biobucks model!
Very excited to announce Manifold's partnership with Roche to deliver the next generation of brain shuttled therapeutics for CNS diseases, using Manifold unique capabilties in AI + massively scaled in vivo measurment of drug molecules. This deal is the culmination of over 6

Whether you want to industrialize biology or biologize industry, we could use new financing structures. I propose BiBs (Bioindustrial Bucks).

Synthetic biology is ready for the next developmental milestone and America’s leadership depends on getting the financing right.

Consistency, focus, and a vision of a brighter future will always win. You can’t expect to win a race with self sabotage or starvation.
i hope you enjoy this about China and the race we will be having with them https://t.co/o7lLL4FNww

Guys I’m at Trader Joe’s desperately trying to avoid the couple talking about the positive control that should be using the “Golgi markers”. Thanks Brookline.

Yes, yes. My child will absolutely participate to improve science. All I ask is first, last and co-corresponding authorship… for the child. I’m good with Acknowledgments only.

Fantastic read!!!!!
My essay on the making of the electron microscope is out @AsimovPress. A quest to understand short circuits in power lines sparked one of the greatest inventions in science. One that now reveals biological structures in atomic detail.

Well written, lots to like here.
AI can accelerate scientific discovery, but only if we get the scientist–AI interaction right. The dream of “autonomous AI scientists” is tempting: machines that generate hypotheses, run experiments, and write papers. But science isn’t just an automation problem — it’s also a

Starting to see the same themes in biology, particularly climate biotech - presupposition of doom and failure therefore thou shalt not act.
One cannot show that turbojets are safe before actually building turbojets and carefully refining them for reliability. The same goes for AI.

The kind of wtf I wanna be talking about - new organelles - instead of wtf we are wtfing about now
biorxiv.org
Within cells, vesicle fusion, scission, and the formation of intraluminal vesicles are critical processes that facilitate traffic, degradation, and recycling of cellular components, and maintenance...

I think there’s been a misunderstanding. I’m not against AI, I dislike bullshit

Yaaaayyyy!!!! LFG 🚀🚀
The first Reachy Mini units are on their way! 🚀 Our Community Beta Program is starting soon — selected testers will receive their robots to help us improve docs, software & explore new features. Lite & Wireless versions ship around Dec 15!

The zeitgeist is to moonshot everything but the real overnight success is patient investment and focus on cultivating and sustaining the STEM talent over maximizing shareholder value or monetary returns.
China has leapfrogged the US in key technologies such as nanotechnology, AI, quantum computing and biotechnology

So good
Pouring milk. A simple act for humans—an extraordinary challenge for robots. This is where dexterity meets intelligence. #RLWRLD #PhysicalAI

One of my pet peeves is talk of "high risk, high reward science" as though there is some strong intrinsic connection. In portfolio theory there is a good (though not infallible) connection between the two. In science the reasoning from portfolio theory breaks down, and the

Damn it feels good to be rodent
Why does the naked mole rat have the longest lifespan and healthspan of any rodent, nearly 40 years? A 30-year long mystery unraveled @ScienceMagazine today! Its cGAS enzyme in cells has 4 missense mutations that upends its function, promoting DNA repair and suppressing

In the most positive of ways, we should endeavor to convert this type of low-mid scale lab tasks to $100 automation.
