Do large language models understand how cells work? To find out, we built a pipeline that generates logic-based models of signaling networks using general purpose LLMs GPT, Gemini, or Claude. We benchmarked LLM-generated networks against 3 large-scale literature-curated and validated networks. 1/

400+ years after the "First Thanksgiving" most Americans have no idea that the Wampanoag people are still here. My tribe, the Aquinnah Wampanoag, is on Martha's Vineyard and we're still fighting for our land and rights. We’re also doing some cool stuff. 🧵👇 if you’d like to learn more & support us

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Last weekend I got to see NZ velvet worms in their native forest habitat. These animals are so bizarre, taxonomists gave them their very own Phylum, next to tardigrades - that's insane!
This Ooperipatellus sp. is an egg-laying genus, but there's another here that gives live birth!

Agreed. Then maybe more Americans’ reading comprehension would be higher than a 6th grader reading level.
I think adults should get a personal pan pizza for reading books too

Hi, are you bluescrolling? Have you eaten something today?
Drank a glass of water?
Taken your meds?
Deep breaths. One thing at a time. And try not to slouch.
