Just one more reminder that the NMR ensembles deposited in the PDB != dynamics of a protein... The ensemble represents *uncertainty* due to lack of experimental data when solving a structure from NMR. Using ensembles to benchmark ML/AI models of dynamics isn't a good idea.

CASP is getting cut by NIH... 😢 (Anyone with extra funds wanna help support perhaps the most important competition of the century?) science.org/content/articl…

Unfortunately, the MLSB Workshop @ NeurIPS (MLSB @ NeurIPS) was rejected this year. Feedback from the deciding committee indicates it was a coin flip decision, with 283 proposals & a number related to “computational biology” More on the future of MLSB soon…

First CASP... now Machine Learning in Structural Biology (MLSB)... sad to see workshop getting cut by Neurips. 😭

Enzyme design! Benchmark data! Wet-lab validation! Expression & activity assays!! ✨

Social media has truly warped science consumption. On one hand it has massively democratized it. On the other hand, it's become extremely easy to use hype to simply amplify things that are simply not true. 1/

step aside alphafold-like models, grok can predict fold switching

Colab Pro is now available for free for verified US students and faculty for one year.

For biological data, if you don't have deep expertise in this low value work called data cleaning, u r lacking a fundamental understanding of the idiosyncrasies of the data. Without this knowledge, it is impossible to seriously model data.

Just saw our Nature paper on model collapse passed 500k accesses. To put that in perspective, the Nobel-winning AlphaFold paper has 2.3M accesses—only 4.6x more. I wanted to reflect back on it and progress broadly in the past year.

Protein structure prediction contest CASP gets temporary funding from Google DeepMind as NIH grant runs out. trib.al/bGoz7lf

TRACeR story was rejected by the same Science editor before, which is ok, but the fact that 2/3 new papers did not mention or cite us made me very sad😔 I left academia, I don’t need Science paper, but I need our contribution to the field to be properly credited and recognized

Biological foundation models have hit a plateau. Scaling isn't working as expected. Foundational concepts from evolutionary biology could have predicted this: 🧵 research.arcadiascience.com/pub/idea-phylo… [1/9]

MLSB this year will be hosted, co-located with NeurIPS in its own location! Stay tuned for more updates, but it's happening 🧬🧬 Always looking for sponsors too, please reach out if you're able to help.
