Journalists and press freedom groups are accusing Indian police of obstructing reporters covering youth protests in New Delhi. The Press Club of India, the country’s largest journalist group, called the police behavior “a blatant attack on the freedom of press.”

‘Google used to say, don’t be evil. And the other day, Peter Thiel gave an interview where he tried to argue that being evil wasn’t bad, actually, because it means you’re good at something.’ @naomiaklein.bsky.social on fascism in the time of AI, on the podcast: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

I asked Claude to make podcast where a statistician and biologist discuss the proteomics results run through my claude proteomics skill and while it's not as good as @benneely.com podcast, but it's not bad either :) it's in the newest version of the skill github.com/bsphinney/DE...

1/n Chuffed to have contributed to this new study: We exposed mice to urban air pollution and aircraft noise, alone and combined, then used proteomics to map how the lungs, brain, and heart responded at the protein level. Link below: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Study from Google about AI use in science, complex impacts: acceleration (7 hours saved per week) along with shifts in the kind of work (more verification) and what research gets done (possibly safer topics). Also a good diagram of the jagged frontier in science right now. ai.google/static/docum...

We have four invited speakers joining us at IZAZ next week, to share their thoughts on the theme of our workshop, Integrating ZooMS and Zooarchaeology! They are Tiina Manne, Sharada Visweswara Channarayapatna, Anneke Janzen, and Britt Starkovich! 🦴🦬👩🏼‍🔬 Register here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

This week, we welcomed 20 master students, PhD students and postdoctoral researchers brought by DANEMO from #Denmark to the EMBO/EMBL campus. 🧪 The visit's topic was “#AI in #LifeScience: Data, Discovery, and #Collaboration" and participants were able to learn about different EMBO opportunities.

Great fun @embl.org with fellow ECRs from Danish universities. Many thanks @danemoinforms.bsky.social @embl.org @embo.org. Already looking forward to my next visit :D

This week, we welcomed a delegation of early career researchers from several Danish universities 🇩🇰. This is the 2nd visit co-organised by DANEMO to EMBL Heidelberg & @EMBO. The visitors learned about AI and data science at EMBL, toured facilities, and met EMBL group leaders.

So a whole lot of my talented Humanities colleagues are now unemployed as of today. A lot of understandable concern over Exeter. But for over two decades my Hums colleagues were in the top quartile for their research contribution to society. History top 10. Now gone with only a national whisper.

We warmly invite students, ECRs, experienced researchers working in zooarchaeology and related disciplines to submit an abstract for our session. 🦏🦓🦙 For session details and abstract submission information,visit: sway.cloud.microsoft/BFTVh4FAbfX6... @bharathabnair.bsky.social @icaz-news.bsky.social

This is the big one! So proud to have played a part on this team. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Enlicitide is an exciting potential molecule for cardiovascular disease, but if we were going to make it on a commercial scale, existing chemical techniques just weren't going to cut it.

A new Trump administration contracting clause would require AI companies like Anthropic to make their technology available to federal agencies “for any lawful government purpose” — even for uses their systems are designed to prevent.

In The Martian, fictional astronaut Mark Watney survives the wasteland of Mars by growing potatoes in lunar soil—with a bit of help from human poop. The idea may not be so far-fetched. @science.org

Unlocking the silent proteome?? Are silent proteins the products of silenced genes? Maybe they are just real quiet and you can't hear them over the rough pump noise? Are they withdrawn because of early translation trauma? Are they non-interacting? Who locked them up? So many questions for AI...
