I recently discovered #Crush by @charm.land Highly recommend giving it a try if you've been using something like Claude Code or Co-Pilot Crush is open-source and 100% vendor-agnostic, so you can point it at any model you like, not just those from Anthropic, Microsoft, OpenAI, etc.

Charm@charm.land · last yr.

$HOME is in the terminal. Now your new coding bestie is available in whatever terminal emulator you use. Crush is a high performance, agentic coding tool built with Charm libraries and the quirky, playful aesthetic that you know and love. This is just the beginning, too.

Great perspective in @plosbiology.org , arguing that AI-assisted reanalysis could unlock insights in public datasets, but only with much better data quality, validation, and human oversight: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Why biology must prioritize data reanalysis in the era of artificial intelligence

New technologies have generated an unprecedented volume of biological data, much of which remains underutilized. This Perspective argues that the next era of biological discovery is likely to emerge f...

In this @nature.com news article, I reflect on the last 10 years of spatial transcriptomics to highlight the feedback loop between industry and academia in our unified efforts to push the boundaries of science towards improving human health: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) put out a little infographic for International Moon Day. It compares the diameter of Australia to the diameter of the Moon. This always throws me because in my mind, the Moon is actually bigger!
