What in the world just happened? Why were all the fish dead? Here’s a short thread as to how our latest paper, the last of my PhD at @yale_eeb, came to be by starting at the beginning.

NEWs.
Happy to share MicGeo's benchmark work on "Functional #metatranscriptomics of the #rhizosphere: towards an understanding of metabolic processes of the microbial carbon pump"
Led by Julian Ruggaber. Congratulations.

our goal as a science robotics company is simple: deploy as many robots as quickly as possible into the real world to do valuable science.
one of the first pieces of advice @daltonc gave us during YC last year was to bet on models getting better.
that was a very good bet.
today, we’re starting to see the payoff with code-as-policy for robots.
if you want a robot in your lab, or want to work on deploying robots into labs, reach out.

We have found it much more useful to treat the LLM as a programmer operating inside a robotics system, rather than as the robotics system itself.

New job alert! We’re looking for computational biologists to do some analysis and application of tools/workflows we’ve built @ArcadiaScience and help make them more useful for a broader set of users.
Looking to hire several people to start ASAP, so apply now (or please pass along if you know someone who might be a good fit)!

Dinner and movie night at camp with our friends. Hilarious watching #TheSheepDetectives with our local friends who actually have sheep. – at Rift Valley, Kenya
Last sun downer of the field season. So thankful for our extended family. Tuka Pamoja! – at Rift Valley, Kenya
Summer camp for our daughters at our research camp in Kenya... washing clothes by hand is a big part of the experience. 💪 – at Rift Valley, Kenya
Wondering... if the dwarf mongooses are trying to tell me that there is a 🐍 outside the tent? – at Rift Valley, Kenya
Nothing better than @AmandaSubalusky submitting paper revisions shortly after cooking lunch in our camp and being greeted by warthogs. – at Rift Valley, Kenya
Thanks to an amazing week with our colleagues at @MMaraUniversity working on proposals, sample processing, and data. Asante sana! Tuka pamoja! @AmandaSubalusky @UF_CLAS @GlobalGators @UF – at Narok, Kenya
