Very sad to hear that Margaret Hamilton has passed away. Here's a short thread about her role in the Apollo mission, and her lesser-known work on the simulations that led to the discovery of Chaos Theory. 🧪 👩‍🔬 ⚛️

Margaret Hamilton, computing pioneer who led software development for the Apollo program, dies at 90

Margaret H. Hamilton, a profoundly influential computer scientist best known for leading the software engineering team at MIT’s Instrumentation Lab during NASA’s Apollo program, died at age 90.

Margaret Hamilton, a pioneer of software engineering who led NASA's in-flight software team for the Apollo mission, was born #OTD in 1936. 🧪 🔭 👩‍🔬 Image: NASA

A black and white photo of Margaret Hamilton standing next to a stack of printouts, the code that she and her team wrote for the Apollo Lunar Module. She is wearing a short, striped dress and sandals. Hamilton has long hair past her shoulders and wears glasses. She is looking at the stack of code, which is taller than her, smiling and steadying it with her hands.

I am happy to present our work @liverworks.bsky.social @robinburns.bsky.social @alisondawnscott.bsky.social on centromeric repeat turnovers, of which we counted three in the Arabidopsis genus:

The Nature of Centromeric Repeat Turnovers in the genus Arabidopsis

Centromeres are critical for accurate segregation of chromosomes and are often composed of megabases of tandemly arranged satellite repeats. Yet, despite their conserved function, the DNA sequence of ...

New preprint! There have been quite a few papers about RLP and RLK receptors, but none of them have a truly reproducible annotation pipeline (including my own...)... We finally made such a pipeline and look more systematically at RLPs within tomato. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

PlantLRR-PRR:A Reproducible Annotation Pipeline Reveals Contrasting Evolution of Developmental and Defense Receptor-Like Proteins in Tomato

Plants perceive external and internal signals via receptors to modulate their growth, development, and defenses. Leucine-rich-repeat receptor-like-kinase (RLKs) and receptor-like-proteins (RLPs) are t...

Der Umgang mit Rechtsextremismus in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik war immer problematisch. Immer beschwichtigend, immer verharmlosend. Selten die reale Gefahr im Blick, selten im Sinne der (potentiellen) Opfer. Es handelt sich um den politischen Extremismus, der in der Geschichte der… 1/29

AfD-Bundesvorstand Dennis Hohloch sagt zwei bemerkenswerte Sätze: „Partei und Jugend und Vorfeld bilden eine Symbiose“. Und: „Deutschland braucht keine 80 Millionen Menschen, sondern kann auch mit 60 Millionen leben“. Für beides gibt es Applaus, besonders laut für letzteres.

Nie war es so wichtig wie jetzt ein Zeichen zu setzen, seine Stimme zu erheben und für ein demokratisches Sachsen-Anhalt zu kämpfen! Am 6. September sind Landtagswahlen und es geht darum, das dieses Bundesland zeigt, dass die Mehrheit der Menschen nicht von Nazis regiert werden will! ❤️🧡💛💚💜🤍

There are many uses for AI in science - modeling, data analysis, certain diagnostics - none of those are LLMs and frankly not even really “AI” as we’ve come to know it at all and TBH we need a different name for this kind of “AI” so the science stuff can stop getting dragged into this argument.
