The disconnect between the frenetic discourse regarding the potential risk of AIxBio enabled biological weapons being developed and the political reality in the US, where antivaxx ideology is being institutionalised and masking near-demonised is stark.

Excited to see how #teamtomo #AIxBio use these datasets!
New on the CryoET Data Portal: ~27,000 tomograms of affinity-captured lysosomes from HEK293T cells across 4 physiological states. Includes raw data, AreTomo3 reconstructions & Membrain-Seg annotations. Openly available for reuse!

2. While the potential for AIxBio weapons are a risk we must contend with, and mitigate to the greatest extent possible, we must not become so focussed on this potential risk that we forget or somehow diminish the risk that *already exists*.

Happy Pi Day! 🥧

Pi’s refusal to follow a pattern mirrors biotechnology: capabilities and risks today will look nothing like those of tomorrow. Governance is already struggling to keep pace. NTI | bio is working to change that.

More details soon but just got notice of award on a large grant in the AIxBio / biosecurity space! Will be hiring postdocs soon, and so will a few of my collaborators. Email me if interested!

I sometimes go down various science conspiracy rabbit holes, so when the big Genesis Mission announcement dropped yesterday, it triggered me to go off on one of my favorites: MAHA medbeds.

All the AIxBio hype in the world does not make fantasy a reality

I Demand My MAHA Genesis Mission Medbed
But I'll settle for vaccines and a functional health system since medbeds don't exist no matter how much AI you throw at it

So excited to have Christian (@machine.learning.bio) join us at Duke!! 💙 We're building such an amazing AIxBio community with @rohitsingh8080.bsky.social, @alextong.bsky.social, Phil Romero, and others. ESPECIALLY in all things bio-based language models! 💻 🧬 Come join us in Durham! 😈
Two major life updates:

- I'm moving to Senior Applied Research Scientist in Digital Biology at NVIDIA (Jan '25)
- I'm starting a new lab at Duke as Visiting Assistant Prof (early '25)

Both roles focus on tackling hard problems in biological machine learning through collaborative research.

Great talk from @leopoldparts.bsky.social at #AIxBio on testing genome models on out of distribution data. DNA is not all you need! There is no direct f(DNA) = function that is not contingent on cell state.
