This raises the fascinating and/or disturbing hypothetical spectre of one of our award programmes presenting a giant string of coding with a trophy. Or would it be presented to the coders? Either way, it feels... somewhat odd. #NatureAwards
Today, we are announcing Future House, a philanthropically-funded moonshot focused on building an AI Scientist. At Future House, our 10-year mission is to build semi-autonomous AIs for scientific research, to accelerate the pace of discovery and to provide world-wide access to cutting-edge scientific, medical, and engineering expertise. We have chosen to focus on biology because we believe biology is the science most likely to advance humanity in the coming decades, through its impact on medicine, food security, and climate. We also believe that biology research is set to scale, and AI will help us get there. Future House is an independent, non-profit research organization, headquartered in San Francisco. At Future House, biology researchers and AI researchers will work together to build AI Scientists and to use those AI Scientists to make research 10x to 100x faster than it is today. We are fiercely committed to a flat structure, team science and individual contributions. We are also hiring, for AI researchers, wet lab biology researchers, and other roles. If this mission and these ideas are exciting to you, get in touch. Join our mailing list, follow us at @FutureHouseSF, and reach out to us at [email protected]. For more information, read our blog post here: futurehouse.org/articles/ann… and check out the @Bloomberg feature here: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Could we do more with images from this competition? Maybe work with the entrants for the Scientific Outreach category of #InspiringWomenInScience so they can share relateable images with the schools and children that they work with? Ideas warmly welcomed.

Many people were curious to know how I created this illustration (cover proposal for @Nature) - so here is an *honest* stepwise thread on how my #sciart process typically looks like! ✨ A 🧵 #scicomm #sciviz #sciartportfolioweek

Part of me is wondering whether Gily's work will one day shed light on those of us who are a bit...erm...challenged, when it comes to spatial awareness. My car insurance company probably wonders too.
My 1min video was chosen for top-10 in the Nature portfolio's #ScienceinShorts competition. Check it out!
Join us tomorrow for an exciting discussion of antimicrobial drugs and the treatment of infections. @Times360 #lets_talk_about_health #umoyo_nkukambirana.

Playing our song here. Science communication is a task for all of us. It's the starting point for building trust between researchers and publics. An extra thought: often overlooked is the fact that communication should be a two-way street. #ScienceInShorts @NaturePortfolio
