Hey, @grok, who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn't need to be a mutual, don't tag them, just say who it was.

As world reaction to the outrage in Gaza intensifies 🇮🇱 is claiming that it’s adjusting its policies. But it’s not the details in the policies that’s the question - it’s the fundamentals since breaking the agreed ceasefire.
Even if this leads to meaningful change--still obviously TBD--the Israeli government's decision in March to break the ceasefire, blockade Gaza, and escalate militarily will prove to have been catastrophic. It made no real difference against Hamas, led to immeasurable additional…
Horrific: An apocalyptic scene from Gaza—starving people waiting for aid trucks, surrounding them, climbing on them, desperate for anything to eat.
In 1965, Margaret Dayhoff published the Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure, which collated the 65 proteins whose amino acid sequences were then known. Inspired by that Atlas, today we are releasing the Dayhoff Atlas of protein sequence data and protein language models.
It is unbelievable how nonchalantly leaders like @kajakallas and @vonderleyen continue to ignore (and stand against) intl law and the decisions of the highest intl Courts re Israel: among others, I shall remind them, the ICJ ordered Israel to: - withdraw its troops and remove…
The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible. I spoke again with @gideonsaar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points. All options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges
🤯Three (!!!) new papers today in @ScienceMagazine on the application of generative AI for the de novo design of peptide/HLA binding molecules! Completely unique 3D structure and binding mode compared with natural TCRs and TCR mimics! Links to papers 👇
This night it was the historic center of Odesa 🇺🇦 that the barbaric 🇷🇺 attacks targeted.
I have never felt so shaken. Children are dying of hunger. Falling one after another, like petals of a dying flower. Under our watch. How do you sleep, Presidents, Foreign Ministers, political leaders, diplomats, civil servants - doing nothing to stop Israel’s starvation…
The sheer intellectual collapse you have to experience to be faced with 122 international aid organisations telling you the same thing... ISRAEL IS STARVING GAZANS... only to decide they are ALL lying & that actually Benjamin Netanyahu, on trial for fraud, is telling the truth.
AlphaBind paper is out. Trains on 7.5M Ab‑Ag reads + protein LMs to build a 15M engine for rapid affinity boosts🚀 Single round delivers up to 74× tighter binding from just 3‑11 edits, yielding thousands of diverse, developable variants🧬#AntibodyAI #bioAI
Aithyra Opening Symposium "AI for Life Science" with Nobel Laureate Frances Arnold as keynote speaker in addition to an outstanding line up of speakers on a variety of topics across biological scales and data modalities. Registration is now open at lnkd.in/dkJJCmqx
Never have I met such deep frustration and despair among @UN colleagues as today about Gaza. Massive death, destruction and starvation strike civilians, incl aid workers and journalists. Now is the time for the UNSG to summon the SecCo on the basis of Art 99 of UN Charter.
Happy to have led the #LGBTQIA+ meet up at #ISMB2025. I'm enormously grateful to @iscb for their support to organise these spaces where we can show our members that everybody is welcome as they truly are! Quite a few people attended & already planning activities for the future!⭐️
What a time to be a bioinformatician! Charlotte Dean's Keynote lecture at #ISMB2025 just blew my mind ♥️
You wake up each morning and wonder which country in the Middle East has 🇮🇱 bombed today. i24news.tv/en/news/israel…
Another night of massive 🇷🇺 attack against Kyiv and other cities in 🇺🇦. Putin is going all out for military victory. Trump 🇺🇸 gave him 50 days and is meanwhile busy with Epstein files.
