And this is why the AI takeover sucks. Grab all the books you can!

A company offering printed books to AI companies to train on because they’re free of AI slop has stopped after our reporting. Thanks to 404 Media subscribers, we’re able to continue reporting stories that bring real life impact. Read now: www.404media.co/ai-company-t...

"In a conversation led by Molly Webster, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein talks about dark matter, the nature of the universe, and who gets to ask the biggest questions in science. She challenges assumptions about objectivity and identity—making the case that who does science shapes the science we get." 🙌🏽🙌🏽

This is definitely the most that I have ever talked about my life story — at @cascadepbs.org IDEAS Festival with @radiolab.bsky.social’s amazing!!!! Molly Webster: youtu.be/BdwK3ME1l_Y?...

This is them trying to discredit everyone so that they can control everyone. They don’t want you to have books or use your brain. They want you to go along with everything and be plugged into the internet so they can brainwash you with ai and whatever they say. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk

So now a slop I companies are buying books, using them to train their models and destroying the books?!?? JFC THIS IS HOW THEY CONTROL EVERYTHING they know knowledge is power futurism.com/artificial-i... What is it going to take for people to loose it?! It’s freaking BOOKS 📕 ! I cannot🤦‍♀️

AI Companies Are Buying Antique Books, Ingesting Their Contents to Train Models, and Then Destroying Them at Incredible Scale, Even If Almost No Copies Remain

AI companies are quietly obtaining rare books, ingesting their contents, and then destroying them -- even if they're exceedingly rare.

Hello. I will not be using Claude Science bc fuck Anthropic. Thank you for attending my ted talk.

We attended #2026SDB in Vegas and 7 students from our lab presented their work to the #DevBio community. We represented @ucdavis.bsky.social and @ucdavisvetmed.bsky.social with 6 SDB first-timers: 4 BMCDB PhD candidates, 1 GGIP DVM/PhD candidate, and 2 recently graduated undergrads. I am so proud! 🤩

If you are at #2026SDB and want to chat with folks- please join us at the networking and theme tables! I will be at the social media table but there are a ton of awesome folks with fun themes to chat about. Tables will be from 1:30-2:30. Hope to see you there! @socdevbio.bsky.social

Our lab at Pitt is looking to hire a technician. Ideal candidate would be a recent graduate with some cell biology skills, looking to expand their experience before applying to a PhD program in a couple of years. If you are this person, interested in DNA replication, please email me. moiseevalab.com

Reunited!

Our manuscript on the dependency of ALT-positive tumors on the DNA translocase SMARCAL1 is finally out in @genesdev.bsky.social. Big thanks again to the Min, Lazzerini Denchi and @cejkalab.bsky.social labs! @angelotaglialatela.bsky.social genesdev.cshlp.org/content/earl...

Happy to share our new pre-print on the dependency of ALT-positive tumors on the DNA translocase SMARCAL1. Outstanding work of @angelotaglialatela.bsky.social in collaboration with the Min, Lazzerini Denchi and @cejkalab.bsky.social laboratories! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We are so fortunate to be able to offer a new postdoc position in the #Traklab. Please see the description below and forward on. sites.baylor.edu/trakselisgro...

In my lifetime, I've seen segments of society lose trust in evolutionary biology, climate science, and vaccines. None of this was due to anything scientists did. All of it was because non-scientists perceived some advantage (political, cultural, financial) in attacking science's credibility.

We’re having a blast at FASEB recombination!

Well well well.

Oh jfc

Happy to share ProTiler-Mut, a computational framework that leverages CRISPR tiling screens to map protein mutation–phenotype relationships, developed by Wei He and @hanxu-mdacc.bsky.social in collaboration with @raphguerois.bsky.social and our group. authors.elsevier.com/c/1nKys_siQz...

My favorite books are from the 1800s. Have you looked into Einstein and the Ether? Bahahahaha

If you are in Anchorage, please go to the Alaska Native Heritage center and check out the boarding school exhibit. For a long time I thought boarding schools didn't affect us, but they did, deeply, and continue to do so today.
