What humanity is able to observe is defined by the instruments available to make those observations. This robot is building "a telescope" that will help observe types of autoimmunity never-yet looked for and create a more complete synthetic human proteome.

industrial automators: take note

as I've been saying, generic models + PLR will be sufficient for very strong ai scientists

Very excited to announce the PyLabRobot Cookbook from the Chory Lab! This cookbook showcases many usage examples and design patterns that should help you get started writing PyLabRobot code quickly. I strongly recommend this cookbook to anyone interested in lab automation!

Serial transplantation asks whether stem cells can rebuild one blood system, make more stem cells (self-renew), and then rebuild another. A blood transfusion supplies mature cells for a limited time, but a true HSC graft establishes the source that continuously produces new blood and immune cells.
Together, these grafts persisted through nearly 10 months of continuous blood production in vivo.

I’m excited to share the first paper from my PhD research at @RetroBio_ (and my first paper as first author) - now on bioRxiv!
Can we take adult human cells, turn them into blood-forming stem cells, and build a new blood system that is both functional and molecularly young?
Our preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Engrafted human iHSCs retain their youthful epigenetic age in vivo despite differentiation and prolonged transplantation.

I wrote about the call by frontier labs to start regulating DNA synthesis. I, and many lab biologists, think this would be damaging to American biotech.
You can read my thoughts in core memory.

Set is ready @ElonMusk
We built it 25min from downtown Austin and can shoot anytime in the next 7 days on 1h notice.
Humanity is on the verge of becoming a multi-planet species and spacefaring civilization.
My goal with this interview is to help people viscerally feel what that future is going to look like and get everyone excited to help build it.

our second centrifuge after the Agilent VSpin
great first PR @claudioreiter! also thanks @_benray and @koeng101!
