🔥New Night Science paper!! Discovery happens when your initial plans fall apart but it requires you to have a particular mindset: it's not extraverted, orderly, neurotic or agreeable that's the most important – discovery requires an OPENNESS to new ideas and unexpected insights.

Rather than keeping our techniques private, how can the scientific community promote more transparency and open sharing for the kind of prompts that make AI good for creativity and ideation?

I was waited two years to see this out!! The genomic location of bacterial genes is not random. Congratulation on the authors (Martin Lercher and Team!). An impresive piece of work! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… A small thread !

We're about to upload to bioRxiv a preprint on the experimental relocation of RNA Polymerase genes in wich we show the physiological consequences on altering their genomic location. There is a lot to explore in this research theme!

Is the genome just a bag of genes? A new paper in Science Magazine now reports that for two thirds of an organisms' genes the position along the chromosome is actually very tightly constrained! Amazing work from my favorite night scientist Martin Lercher and his team!

New Night Science Podcast episode! Martin Schwartz from Yale University talks with us about the importance of stupidity in scientific research, how the ego can obstruct creativity, and how resilience, self-discovery, and the cultivation of "passionate indifference" – are key in science.

Today, we are launching the first publicly available AI Scientist, via the FutureHouse Platform. Our AI Scientist agents can perform a wide variety of scientific tasks better than humans. By chaining them together, we've already started to discover new biology really fast. With
