How do we know whether a biomedical foundation model has learned something biologically meaningful - rather than simply learned to excel on a narrow benchmark? See our new Perspective by @JulioSaezRod and Philipp Sven Lars Schäfer with Nikolas Kalavros & Gustavo Stolovitzky

I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.

Mathematics has now fully morphed into biology: Project costs millions $ ✅ Put out paper that nobody has read ✅ Massive paper supplement nobody will read ✅ Advertise with pretty art ✅ Vicious authorship fight ✅ Say you're curing cancer ✅

Warms my heart to see the everyone's excitement🧡 Finally people can imagine how amazing it must be to be part of this graphics team. 🔥Especially proud of VFX art who made all that effort worth it, from every big fire, splash and smoke to the wee sparks, dust and blood💥

We built a joint experimental and computational platform for scalable multi-modal single-cell chemical screens — profiling RNA, protein (including phospho-signaling), and chromatin accessibility responses to thousands of small molecule perturbations in parallel. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

1/🧵New preprint! We built a patient-level map of systemic lupus erythematosus using single-cell blood transcriptomics, linking multicellular immune coordination to patient heterogeneity, future disease activity, and potential tissue pathology. ➡️ doi.org/10.64898/2026.04.28.…

Now you can plot cool networks using DOT and graphviz layouts. It does not matter if graphviz is not installed, it supports native binaries, js/wasm and webassembly with wasmtime, + other nice options! Check the @marimo_io notebook in molab: molab.marimo.io/notebooks/nb…

Excited to share our discovery of a new programmable RNA-guided DNA-targeting system hiding inside bacteriophages that predates CRISPR. We call it VIPR (Viral Interference Programmable Repeat), and it uses an entirely new logic to find its targets. Thread + link below.

Is the linear map of cell signaling a myth? New research suggests the reality of cellular networks is far more complex. @savitski_lab & @saezlab combined experimental and computational expertise to test how we map kinase–substrate interactions. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
