Part 1 (dennisgong.com/blog/newmedici…) includes heuristics for indication selection across 60 indications within I&I. Part 2 (released later this month) will be a collection of actionable TPPs for remaining unmet needs.
Really excited about this paper. Part of our continued efforts to make sense of what ML models are and aren’t doing.
Can an AI model predict perfectly and still have a terrible world model? What would that even mean? Our new ICML paper formalizes these questions One result tells the story: A transformer trained on 10M solar systems nails planetary orbits. But it botches gravitational laws 🧵

The Internet Contraceptive. In 2 hours, I built what people are calling protection against the algorithm™ A chrome extension using LLMs to filter out the slop on your feed. Soon I'll add more features, go multimodal, and improve latency. Comment 'cherri' for the source code.
Yes, we offer all NBA refs free LASIK eye surgery.
Scoop: did @Calico, Google's aging moonshot with over $4B invested from its parent co and @AbbVie, just quietly regain the lead in the aging field?? To no fanfare or press, Calico just added one of the most advanced assets in the longevity field to its now four drug pipeline!
Hosting events these past ~5 years in Cambridge has unlocked so many incredible opportunities If you’re around this summer & starting a biotech company (or thinking of doing so in near future), I want to meet you! shorturl.at/rNPWK
We wanted the Sorcerer’s Stone, instead we got a Rita Skeeter Quick Quotes Quill.
in ~15 years, metastatic melanoma went from a disease with a median 6 month survival time to one where 52% of patients have melanoma-specific survival 10 years out may we all get a chance to work on medical technologies like this - my god! nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
Humans learn continually throughout their lifetime, but how can we get AI systems to do so? Introducing Memory Embedded in Gated LLMs (MEGa), our method for continual learning and injecting novel knowledge directly into LLM *weights*. Paper link: arxiv.org/pdf/2504.21239 🧵
Our friends at a deep tech company with an insanely star-studded team are looking for a cracked cell biologist to join FT asap. Anyone have recs for folks finishing up undergrad or grad school or looking for their next adventure?
A massive thank you to sponsors @EliLillyandCo @Novartis @AFARorg @RetroBio_ @AgingJrnl @NornGroup, our incredible speakers, and to everyone who made the trek out to Boston to attend!
It was really humbling to organize the Muscle Aging Symposium with my team @aginginit alongside @NornGroup last week. Truly so much heavy lifting ahead of us in therapeutic development for the muscle, metabolism, and frailty spaces, but some exciting tailwinds!!
