I spoke with the @hairdao founder today. It truly is a prime example of decentralized organization and the drive to succeed. @dwr.eth was an early member and helped collect hair follicles for research. It’s truly amazing what a decentralized future can bring. https://x.com/hairdao_/status/1938776768740995330?s=46

Love having a plant biology lab next to mine! 🌱Nicotiana benthamiana🌱(closely related to tobacco) at 40x on a confocal microscope. Can you spot (what we think is) a lil pathogenic freeloader? Photo credz: 🧬Imi🧬

speaking of Nara Smith and making things from scratch…their antigen visual does look suspiciously like mac and cheese 🧐 https://www.chaidiscovery.com/news/introducing-chai-2

This is such an exciting time for biology x computation from this new paper: “reliably designing functional antibodies from scratch” Chai-2 is the Nara Smith of functional antibody design You can design high-affinity binders to novel targets in <two weeks with zero prior data at >100x hit rate to prior methods

Find it a bit sad and also symbolic of academia in general that the research funding agency for the UK doesnt have ‘make an impact’, ‘make people’s lives better’ or ‘discover something new’. In this ‘goals for the PhD’ questionnaire. They’ve totally lost sight of the purpose of research.

getting very into vertical farms & automated agtech🥬 Opollo Farms is the world’s 1st fully automated vertical farming system: they use robots + AI + hydroponics to rapidly grow plants in dense, indoor, modular cube like structures In Arizona you can already find their leafy greens (brand Willo) in whole foods!

1/6 Some of you may know that I’m a sucker for fringe science, of which the Clay Institute’s Millenium Prize Problems are the gold standard when it comes to mathematics. One of these open problems is the Navier-Stokes (NS) existence and smoothness problem.

Dyson Strawberry Tech 🍓 year round semi-autonomous robotics run vertical strawberry farming that’s increasing UK yields by 250% Is it casual now in the UK to have dyson strawberries in your grocery stores? How do they taste? (also yes, tis the same Dyson behind your voluminous curls and bladeless purified air)

🧠 Your brain is powerful beyond belief- 86 billion neurons swap chemical and electrical signals across synapses (20-40nm gaps) which drives learning, memory, and behavior ⚡️These synaptic connections are hubs for communication in the brain forming vast neural networks which are essential for higher level cognitive ability 👶From early childhood to adolescence, you lose ~40-50% of synapses. Why? Efficiency through pruning. 🏌️‍♂️New tasks are clunky which drains extra energy. Your brain uses pruning to clear inefficient and redundant neural pathways for smoother skills. 💥The process of learning is a beautiful case of necessary destruction amidst creation
