Can AI rewrite our human genome? ⌨️🧬 Today, we announce the successful editing of DNA in human cells with gene editors fully designed with AI. Not only that, we've decided to freely release the molecules under the @ProfluentBio OpenCRISPR initiative. Lots to unpack👇

Advice for prospective PhDs: choosing a supportive mentor is 100 times more important than selecting a Ph.D. supervisor working in a renowned institution. Your academic journey is profound influence of guidance you receive. Embrace the transformative power of a mentor's support!

4.5 years ago I started my first AI Research project @MetaAI. I didn’t have a PhD or research experience. But I was confident it was the right decision. Life often goes by without celebrating the small wins — here’s to taking bold bets and intentionally choosing harder paths 🎉

Nobody talks about how labwork is actually physically taxing and inefficient. We need more practical solutions to make the life of scientists better. Is anyone automating simple things like washing beakers, test tubes or reusable pipette tips?

For Ph.D. students, choosing a supportive mentor is 100 times more important than choosing a PI who is working in the top/famous institution. #hapyresearchers @AcademicChatter
