No matter how fundamental an AI is to a discovery, when it comes to winning rights to an invention, it’s humans—and only humans—who can take the credit.
When AI designs a drug, who gets the credit?
Patents can only name humans as inventors. For now.

Summary of my trip: Welcome to the crappy skies, the sardines are ready for departure
PSA: "this process will require 10 mega joule of energy" sounds like a lot, but it is roughly the heat of combustion of 1 kg of wood. We have almost zero intuition for a lot of units.
Interesting piece on the suspicions of the math community regarding AI companies having access to your chats. Relevant for scientists increasingly relying on AI tools: www.theverge.com/ai-artificia... 🧪
Mathematicians want proof OpenAI didn’t use their work
Another mathematician accused the company of ‘dishonesty’ after several big breakthroughs.

Andalusite “Chiastolite”, was a very popular stone among 16th-century religious pilgrims traveling through Spain due to its unique appearance. And the stones, although not holy, are certainly mineral miracles. #MinCup26 ⚒️ sci-fi 🧪 🖖🏼 scifi Geosciences #WomenInSTEM geology #geosky #GIS 🍎 🪐 🔭 🌋

What do the earliest organisms tell us about where life began on earth? This fantastic paper addresses this issue through analyses that expose early metabolism, & what the environment contributed to kick start it. Even if wrong it is worth reading for the clear introduction to metabolism.
Intermediate stages in the origin of metabolism at a phosphorylating hydrothermal vent
Enzymatic metabolism emerged from metal-catalyzed, aqueous reactions of H2, CO2, NH3 and phosphite at a hydrothermal vent.

If you’re a Gondorian soldier your experience with hobbits is a tiny guy shows up with a wizard and is immediately taken in the Steward’s counsel. He saves Faramir when the Steward goes mad. A second tiny guy arrives with the Rohirrim and kills the Witch King. The first one then goes on campaign …
And if you have any interest in music whatsoever, definitely watch the whole documentary series (10 episodes in all), covering the entire history of music. The whole thing is here: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... Very positively reviewed by the Guardian too: www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

the most realistic scene in Jurassic Park is when two scientists make a questionable decision — traveling to an undisclosed location with a strange man — on the promise of three years of modest funding
The conundum of a scientist developing a new application in 2026: Python is superconvenient but too slow, C,C++ is a classic but with a one way ticket to dependency hell, Rust has cargo but it is spiky and stubborn, and Julia is for scripting and often untested beyond data science. 🤔
