Excited to share some work from my postdoc! In our recent preprint (w/ @gregorybritten @GeneWeiLiLab Sean Hackett and Mick Follows), we ask how to use proteomic data to estimate in vivo reaction rates? (1/n)

🚨 Exciting new postdoctoral opportunities @WHOI! We are looking for a biogeochemical modeler interested in developing next generation ecosystem and carbon cycle models for the Northwest Atlantic. 1/n whoi.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/WHOI-Ext…

Can AI enable safe vaccines at scale that last? Can we anticipate immune response? We tested this .. See cell.com/immunity/fullt… and hms.harvard.edu/news/building-… And big thx to @CEPIvaccines for funding

🚨 New in @ImmunityCP ! EVE-Vax, an AI model that anticipates future viral evolution and designs antigens to proactively test vaccines + therapeutics—before variants even emerge. We envision this work will help make future-proofed vaccines and therapeutics. 👇 (1/7)

Another Planktoscope spotted in wild - today at Virgin Islands Community college. Open hardware is an amazingly effective way to amplify science. If you are a “new wave” science funder - please think about supporting open hardware tools. Happy to fill in details for anyone.
