This is worth watching: Prof Simon Peyton Jones, he’s very good on the public understanding of AI/ML and how do address it in education, at the Darwin College, Cambridge Lecture Series

Good morning Christmas Eve. Excited to have time with NI family and reflect on JRR Tolkein’s poem Noel youtu.be/VIGj3DpSrbY

Great paper aiming to demonstrate how we could target all 2800 cell surface proteins. Three very believable examples provided.

The limitations of AI highlights the strengths of being human in the genAI world. With the figure below I try and show how the Hebrew view of humans as the Image of God is helpful in this genAI world.

I like this from old timer Oxford emeritus Prof John Lennox “Genesis 1:1 says this happened in the past, at an indefinite time. So what does the Bible say about the age of the universe and the earth? Absolutely nothing. So why fight about it folks”
I’ve found the Bible surprisingly helpful in thinking about Human+ in the age of AI 🤖. Before saying why these figures give some context on approaching the ancient foreign scrolls 📜

Figures
1) our chemical, biological & human timeline
2) how we got the bible
3) degrees of historical latitude

It’s #Advent the first day of #Christmas🎄✨

This daily short daily reflection www.bible.com/en/reading-p... looks great to engage more with #advent this year. Thanks LICC for this 💭❄️🎄

Love this insight on the AI tools Alphafold 3, Boltz and Chai-1 in antibody engineering (my day job). “It appears that these models well understand how antibodies fold, but not how they bind.” Thanks @btnaughton.bsky.social

The diversity of AI de novo protein design tools is baffling. I read the Nabla Bio team’s recent technical report.

🔥The combination of their #JAM (Joint Atomic Modeling) with experimental validation of the attributes required of a high quality antibody #CandidateDrug is impressive

Great few days talking all things protein science with #ELRIG in Cambridge UK

Virtual Lab, an AI-human research collaboration ❤️ biorxiv 📄 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

What integrated human + AI in #drugdiscovery can be: clear human defined question, strategy, and overview; ML tools as agents, not bots; well evaluated outcome
Bright future for #ML, #wetlab, #proteindesig
