Why an overreliance on AI-driven modelling is bad for science nature.com/articles/d4158…. @ASTMH @sbviro @utmbhealth @Virology_FAMERP
Why more AI researchers should collaborate with governments nature.com/articles/d4158…. Quite compelling arguments. @ASTMH @sbviro @UTMBinnovations @Virology_FAMERP
Great work!
did adaptations to humans leave traces in the genome of Aedes aegypti? check out our paper out today in Nature Ecology and Evolution. a BIG thanks to all the collaborators around the world that made this possible. doi.org/10.1038/s41559…
Nice work Adriana and colleagues! @sbviro @Virology_FAMERP @ACAV_ASTMH @ASTMH
A new work with Adriana Luchs!
