This is my love letter to mRNA: an Ignite talk I gave as a fundraiser for the Lawrence Hall of Science. Custom mRNA cancer vaccines could be a game changer, but anti-science policies make their future so uncertain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUlu...

ChatGPT encouraged college graduate to commit suicide, family claims in lawsuit against OpenAI | CNN A 23-year-old man killed himself in Texas after ChatGPT β€˜goaded’ him to commit suicide, his family says in a lawsuit.

www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u... absolutely sickening, such a painful read. LLMs could be powerful tools for science, but should never have been trained to interact with people like it is a friend. In a loneliness pandemic can you really expect people to resist this emotional junk food?

So cool they discovered the cause of autism on basically day they guessed they would. I’m also glad they are withholding this information for a few days to prep for a WrestleMania-style announcement. This is how science works.

In the afternoon we had an excellent talk about AlphaMissense and AlphaGenome from @avsecz.bsky.social who generously allowed us to heckle him during the talk, answering all our questions!

In the morning we enjoyed 11 short talks from computational biology ECRs - I especially liked @saniyakhullar.bsky.social’s talk on incorporating prior PPI knowledge into gene regulatory network inference #londonomics2025

Not sure how many scientists here have tried Claude Code or similar command line coding assistants. I had a complicated family property tax problem that was best solved by a brute force Monte Carlo simulation approach, so I spent a few days coding up and analyzing a model with Claude Code.

New ENCODE4 long-read RNA-seq transcripts track forΒ hg38 and mm10. Triplets (e.g. [1,1,3]) indicate start site, exon combination, and stop site for each transcript. Enrichment scores show how these change across tissue and cell line samples.

Generative AI’s crippling and widespread failure to induce robust models of the world LLM failures to reason, as documented in Apple’s Illusion of Thinking paper, are really only part of a much deeper problem

"It is not just that LLM’s fail to induce proper world models of chess. It’s that they never induce proper worlds of anything. Everything that they do is through mimicry, rather than abstracted cognition across proper world models."
