Ewen's writeup of the new Evo 2 paper in Nature is reliably good. I can imagine this foundation model will be useful for doing synthetic biology in microbes.
But it's important to recognize that making this work for eg humans is not just a scaling-up issue...

We're hiring! Global shocks – wars, pandemics, climate extremes – don't just disrupt supply chains. They reshape societies. We're looking for a Postdoc to help us model exactly that, using ABM and complexity science. 3-year funded position in Vienna. Apply by April 1, 2026 👉 csh.ac.at/engage/jobs/
(1/5) As promised, here a short thread about this work.
Why Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5? It is a key environmental host with unique interactions with soil’s biotic and abiotic compounds. Thus great for our Lab’s goal: ecosystems computing. We needed to know how this host interacts with circuits.

Book cover of “Temporal Cognition in Animals” by Angelica Kaufmann in the Cambridge Elements: The Philosophy of Biology series. Against a black background, the title is surrounded by Ernst Haeckel’s illustrations of marine organisms—radial, symmetrical forms in vivid blues, oranges, reds, and greens.
Do non-human animals represent time? New Element in the #PhilBio series by Angelica Kaufmann—free to download until March 16! Kaufmann argues that temporal cognition is widespread across many animal species & advances comparative analyses 👇📕 www.cambridge.org/core/element... #evosky #HPS #cogsci
