Can you tell how an antibiotic kills bacteria just by watching them under a regular microscope — without any dyes ? Yes, it turns out, at least if you are a deep neural net.

An interview article has been published in Nature.
It focuses on the cultivation of Asgard archaea (formally, the phylum Promethearchaeota).

Editors often see studies that overstate their impact, which can undermine trust rather than build it. Our new Editorial argues limitations aren't a flaw to hide and should not be an afterthought. They're a strength to build research on, especially in Engineering www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is what "vibe genealogy" looks like. A family historian fed his tree to Claude Code and got what genealogy software never gave him: a map of 8 generations of ancestral birthplaces, every parent-to-child move drawn as a line. Nearly all born within 40 miles of Mount Airy, NC. 🧵

How does iron shape infection risk in Africa?
📚 New research shows African-specific genetic variants affect iron levels and susceptibility to severe malaria and bloodstream infections, highlighting the need for safer, targeted approaches to tackle iron deficiency and anaemia.
