Google designed the AI Co-Scientist to give scientists superpowers, asking "how much might this radically accelerate science & enable us to discover completely new things that weren't even imagined before?" https://t.co/u59Y6SMiWm @nightsciencepod @vivnat @alan_karthi

'Both competition and cooperation' – that is an underlying principle of how Google designed its "AI co-scientist" platform to generate ideas and think like a scientist. We talk with the leaders of this project on the latest episode of the Night Science Podcast. @nightsciencepod

This is perhaps the only podcast meant for anyone who wants to have a career in science or start a lab - I think it should be recommended listening for any grad student!

Can creativity be taught? “Absolutely!” Thank you @Nature for writing about how we need to nurture BOTH the ‘day science’ and ‘night science’ aspects of our work. The system of science is not really rewarding creativity now and we need to change this! https://t.co/yMZUuifeso

The creative process in science has its thinking tools, which we all learn eventually. Here are the 12 articles that Martin and I wrote about them, including "It takes two to think" and "A hypothesis is a liability". https://t.co/UEfc5Zk9c2 @nightsciencepod @MartinJLercher

🚀Today we're launching the 'Night Science Institute', a non-profit to lead a cultural shift in science! You may say we're dreamers, but we think we're not the only ones. Perhaps today you will join us to make the Day Science and Night Science parts of the process live as one! 😉

The Night Science Podcast episode with Uri Alon is one of my favorites! He says that every scientist has a unique “tuning fork”; a natural inclination that align them with specific types of problems because of a deep resonance with who they are. @UriAlonWeizmann

Many people are busy doing recipe science.. If you ask a grad student what they need to do to get a paper, they'll tell you this & this, & they'll know that 2 years before the project is done. And I'm thinking, what's wrong with this picture? Eve Marder, on Night Science Podcast

AI Trick #1 for coming up new ideas: Think alone first! AI is persuasive – and able to spit out a lot of content quickly – so going to it first can severely constrain your ability to think differently. @emollick also talked about this on the @nightsciencepod.

New Night Science Podcast episode! Martin Schwartz from @Yale talks with us about the importance of stupidity in scientific research, how the ego can obstruct creativity, and how resilience, self-discovery, and the cultivation of "passionate indifference" – are key in science.
