📢First Announcement!! Dear MS Omics fans and friends! The traditional #Omics symposium VIII XMass Updates will take place Dec 9th 2025!
😍Join us on-site in beautiful Dresden or in Zoom😍
👉Info and updates: tinyurl.com/MSDRESDEN
🤖 Automation in life science academic research is not a trend, it's a necessity. There are only a few realistically affordable options to facilitate laborious routine in omics labs. Together with Dr. Friederike Jantzen (Beckman Coulter) we looked at the new Biomec i3 robot. Very interesting option!

Today we celebrate the birthday of not one, but two amazing women in science! 🤗🎉Marie Skłodowska-Curie (1867), who discovered #radium & #polonium & pioneered #radioactivity, & Lise Meitner (1878), whose brilliance uncovered the physics behind #nuclearfission. Happy birthday, trailblazers! ✨

How to turn toxic waste into fuel?

A #tungsten-containing #enzyme plays a key role in the production of #ethanol from #carbonmonoxide, a long-awaited piece of the #metabolic puzzle of #Clostridium autoethanogenum

Making a "fat" step toward high-quality reproducible #omics science! "QC Shotgun" - an automated QC workflow for shotgun #lipidomics experiments was just presented by Silvia Radrezza at the 4th iLS Conference in Madrid. Very strong community effort!

AI chatbots are worse at retrieving accurate information and reasoning when trained on large amounts of low-quality content, particularly if the content is popular on social media

Too much social media gives AI chatbots ‘brain rot’
Large language models fed low-quality data skip steps in their reasoning process.
