In one year, I genetically engineered the boring Arabidopsis into a beautiful ornamental flower 🧬🌹 Here is how and why I gave this model organism a visual upgrade 🧵(1/7)

In NYC to give a talk at Rockefeller University today! Excited to share what we've been up to.

Ants and humans share a rare ability: each can work together in groups to mobilize oversized objects. In a new PNASNews study, Prof. Ofer Feinerman and his team explored this, uncovering surprising insights into the strengths and challenges of cooperation >> bit.ly/Ants-human-EN

Excited to finally share this work w/ Surya Ganguli. Tl;dr: we find the first closed-form analytical theory that replicates the outputs of the very simplest diffusion models, with median pixel wise r^2 values of 90%+. arxiv.org/abs/2412.20292

This wonderful event is scheduled right before SfN 2025 in San Diego and is open to the public!

“Evolution and The Knightian Blindspot of Machine Learning” arxiv.org/abs/2501.13075 Fascinating paper. Makes the case that the harsh filter of evolution enabled organisms (including us) to navigate unexpected events (“unknown unknowns”), something that AI systems struggle with.

Congratulations to Neurosurgeon David Brandman and his team for securing a spot in the Clinical Research Forum 2025 Top Ten Clinical Research Achievement Awards! Their groundbreaking BCI technology transforms brain signals into speech with 97% accuracy: ucdavis.health/4gxGbu5

By studying C. elegans, the Srinivasan lab at Scripps Research uncovered a genetic pathway for mammal lipid metabolism, revealing how neuropeptides regulate energy balance. Fluorescent signals show this pathway in action, offering insights into metabolism, aging and disease.

Why is the NIH an incredible engine for scientific progress and U.S. biomedical leadership? $1 NIH spends--> $2.5 economic activity. Check out this fact sheet for more info: actfornih.org/wp-content/upl… 🧵 1/4

As we speak, scientisists across the country (including myself) are trying to to take care of simple administrative tasks related to the grants that we have recieved from the National Institutes of Health... 1/n
