Had a great time hosting a brainpod @thebiodojo on my work McMaster IIDR with Magarvey Laboratories! We talked about integrating multi-omics machine learning analysis into drug discovery pipelines, the rise of transformer models, and natural products.

Super excited to be researcher-in-residence @thebiodojo for the next few months — what a wonderful community of proactive and enthusiastic students across the world!

Big shoutout to Bharath Ramsundar for taking time out of his day to speak with @thebiodojo about all things biotech, bringing ML to the clinic, and the future of molecular ML! Check out this sweet thread by Subaita:

Creators are hiring, but where is the support? New article on building a team as a creator and the opportunities for innovation. More👇 benjlaufer.medium.com/creators-are-h…

Super insightful call with Ben Ouyang 👨‍🔬👨‍⚕️ at the @thebiodojo about his transition from @uoftengineering to Students of U of T's MD–PhD Program! TAKEAWAY: Don’t cling to a decision just because you have spent a lot of time making it. Self-awareness is KEY. Ask yourself “why” every step you take.

Super hyped to be living with such an awesome group of people. Road to 1 mil tik tok followers 😎

World, meet @thebiodojo! Over the past few months, we’ve been engaging in scientific discourse with experts in the biotech space, growing both as a community and individually, and having lots of fun while we’re at it. thebiodojo.substack.com/p/world-meet-b…

#MeetTheCommunity: Yi Fei Tao (Yi Fei Tao) A rising junior studying McGill University, Yi Fei is currently studying the Mediator complex and its role in transcriptional activation with Francois Robert, with hopes of opening her own lab someday 🔬 Get to meet her👇 link.medium.com/I0CvSkW9ugb

Two weeks ago, Postulate | postulate.us interviewed for Y Combinator. I prepped hard and the interview went smoothly, but we weren't selected. However, the process helped us synthesize two months of learning + make our first pivot, towards creators. A 🧵 on how it happened 👇

It is *so* special to have friends who share your passions. The Time Initiative retreat this weekend was just a reminder that the future is bright, and we get to build it. Thank you Courtney Hudson-Paz for making this happen.

Why has menopause become a normal part of every woman's life, when it causes unnecessary suffering? Why is reproductive aging research still significantly underfunded when half of the population experiences menopause? I believe this *needs* to change, so I wrote a piece about

How do we move from lab to clinic for an aging intervention in *this* decade? I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about this question and created a framework dubbed the longevity funnel framework (LFF) to answer it:

Congratulations Time Fellowship Grant Awardees for pioneering groundbreaking projects in aging biology! They’re investigating the aging brain, long-lived bats, and leveraging AI for longevity medicine. See all 12 grant winners here. timeinitiative.org/grants #AgingBiology #aging

How does AlphaFold3 predict the structures of proteins, DNA/RNA, ligands and other biomolecules? I did a deep dive into protein folding, how AlphaFold works and the new model. Here’s what I learned: (resource in thread)

It’s impossible for us to sufficiently progress on global problems including climate change, antimicrobial resistance, infectious disease and food security without a massive overhaul of our food systems. Grateful for the coverage of our work within alternative proteins research!

Building skills for aging biology can happen in unexpected places! Rikard Saqe is building skills through his work in cultivated fish research, but he’s also pouring into the community around him. His dedication to making others feel valued set him apart. timeinitiative.org/blog/rikard

So excited to be helping lead University of Waterloo's team as a grantee in the Bezos Earth Fund's AI for Climate and Nature Challenge, working with Bre Duffy and Maria Gomes Fernandes from New Harvest and David Staszak from Amii to accelerate AI applications for cultured meat!
