Need opinion on something: Grants for integrating and making bioinformatics software more user-friendly, available for free. I'm talking about something like Galaxy cloud compute, but 1000 times more user-friendly.

TIL that James Watson and Francis Crick were called WC (water closet) because the biochemists hated them since they did not carry out any original experiments to discover the structure of DNA and instead relied on data from other researchers. Lol, they were the actual underdogs in the race to discover the structure and in the end emerged victorious. That’s beautiful.

Whenever I tell someone I study biotech, their response is either, “Oh that's cool, so how can we live forever?” or “Oh, so you're going to be unemployed for the rest of your life.” Mostly, there’s no in between.

Lately I’ve seen a spike in people’s interest in Biohacking, I see a lot of threads on X about it. I bet most people posting these threads think dopamine is what makes us happy. I’m no expert in Biohacking either, but ik for a fact that if it were that easy we’d have the cure for cancer by now.

Needed a suggestion on a hack that we’re building for a hackathon for DeSci, read the RFS of Allaince DAO and one of the RFS was decentralised 21 and me which will let people upload their medical data get incentives for it, in our hack we’re adding a compute layer where other people who have the skill set to - 1/n

FHE is cool, it’s something that I really want to build something around especially in-terms of biotech software which I’ll most probably do in some hackathons this year, but what would be even cooler would be humans achieving hybrid lossless compression which can compress the data 10x its original size.

What's worse, ads that explicitly tell you they're ads, or ads that disguise themselves as posts?

Semiconductors today are what spice used to be in the 13th century.

YC's RFS somewhat mirrors elite mathematicians unveiling conjectures. Puzzles they deemed pivotal, yet lacked bandwidth to unravel. Also, enticing brilliant minds across domains to join the quest for solutions.

If there were a Kardashev scale equivalent metric in biology and pharmacology, one of the main metrics should be the ability of a civilization to cure the common cold.

Had an epiphany while studying about the DNA. Learnt that every cell from neurons to gut cells contains the same copy of DNA, which makes it kinda centralized. As a biomimetics fanatic, I believe nature is the ultimate optimizer. Somewhat found it to be counterintuitive to the entire concept of decentralization lol.
