Too much protein in the diet appears to carry a risk of atherosclerotic heart disease secondary to leucine's effect. An important report considering recent advocacy for very high-protein diets.

OK, every year I try to explain to my students how LLMs work, and every year I have to do a big trawl for good resources and activities. Here's this year's haul of *introductory* materials. (In-class activities + visualizations, not so much readings.)

Dear meeting organizers:
Picking the same senior PIs to keynote/give talks at meetings, who's talks I've seen a dozen times already, is not a great use of everyone's time. Nor does it highlight all of the rich talent in your field from more junior folks and peeps not at "elite" institutions.
