A common-sensical critique of the concerns in the push (in India, from funding agencies) that "AI use is inevitable in research"... Ironically it will dull the very advantage the Indian science landscape had despite being underfunded. www.mariecuriealumni.eu/newsletters/...
Special Issue - Proceed with caution: The potential negative impact of AI on scientific research | Marie Curie Alumni Association
Newsletter As scientists, we are constantly exploring new tools to advance our research. One of these tools that is very popular in recent years is called artificial intelligence (AI). AI can be very ...

#LivingArchitectures We put cells and cytoskeleton filaments on the architecture of the musée d'Orsay. www.musee-orsay.fr/fr/agenda/ev... Scientists of the #CytoMorphoLab adapted their protocols to illustrate the questions that keep them awake at night. -> Two shows on the 24th and 25th of January.
We are near the deadline for comments on the proposed OMB rule changes governing federal grants. I want to say again I think we need to connect basic/discovery research to national security. And, a way I'm finding makes sense is to highlight Vannevar Bush's original plan as laid out in 1945 1/n
If potato wafer (crisps) packaging define inland waterways trash in the UK, I wonder what it will be in India? divemagazine.com/scuba-diving...

These bright yellow frogs are male Indus Valley Bullfrogs (Hoplobatrachus tigerinus). They turn this color only during the breeding season — outside it, they're a more muted green or brown ... but still always look a little like they've seen something bewildering.
Dear fellow researchers. I think we need to discuss this: www.newscientist.com/article/2532... While peer review is flawed, and while preprints are a great way to share data before publication, as a community we mustn’t trade rigour for hype. This paper was peer reviewed and rejected.
What is 'SpudCell'? Arguably the greatest bioengineering feat yet
A prototype cell partly capable of replicating itself has been created using 36 existing bacterial genes, but it's not really a living organism – yet
