I am so excited to share our new findings with you! We provide the structural evidence for a direct protein-to-DNA information pathway, showing how a bacterial enzyme 'reads' its own structure to 'write' DNA. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

So excited to share our newest paper on #marine #exometabolites. A great effort led by Yuting Zhu, Hanna Anderson, and others in the C-CoMP team www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Characterization of phytoplankton-excreted metabolites mediating carbon flux through the surface ocean | PNAS
The marine labile dissolved organic carbon (DOC) pool is a dynamic reservoir of thousands of molecules that cycles approximately one-quarter of Ear...

📣New preprint alert! Check out this new preprint by Zhu et al. that quantifies and compares labile exometabolites from six axenic strains of marine phytoplankton 🌊 to identify key chemical currencies within the marine chemical-microbial network! 🧪🦠
Rogier Braakman@rogierbraakman.bsky.social · 9mo agoSuper excited to be part of this beautiful effort led by @zhuyt0515.bsky.social and Hanna Anderson! A true team effort to characterize diversity in phytoplankton-excreted metabolites and identify key chemical currencies within the ocean ecosystem and carbon cycle www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New: The largest medical A.I. randomized controlled trial yet performed, enrolling >100,000 women undergoing mammography screening The use of AI led to 29% higher detection of cancer, no increase of false positives, and reduced workload compared with radiologists w/o AI thelancet.com/journals/lan...
Screening performance and characteristics of breast cancer detected in the Mammography Screening with Artificial Intelligence trial (MASAI): a randomised, controlled, parallel-group, non-inferiority, ...
The findings suggest that AI contributes to the early detection of clinically relevant breast cancer and reduces screen-reading workload without increasing false positives.

This is as good a time as any to revisit the history of the creation of the NSF. It was inspired by a request from FDR after World War II to Vannevar Bush (Matthew Modine in "Oppenheimer"), who responded in a classic letter now known as "Science: The Endless Frontier". It is very inspiring.
Carl T. Bergstrom@carlbergstrom.com · 2y agoI don’t have a definitive source on this yet but it looks like NSF review panels have been canceled. Sixty-some years ago, Eisenhower transformed higher education because he viewed a science education gap as the single greatest threat to national security. This is absolutely an act of sabotage.
