I'm adding a "using AI" component to my BioCS class. Are there good, basic resources out there already? The goal is not to build neutral networks, but to educate users of LLMs in how language is interpreted, how to write effective queries, validating output, etc.

I don't use this platform much anymore, but I'm happy to share our work on sexual selection and the genomics of speciation in barn swallows. Thanks for reading and sharing, if of interest! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our Small Grants for Local and Regional Outreach provide up to $1000 USD for a variety of evolution education & outreach projects, workshops, and events. Submit your proposal by March 1! buff.ly/3OU3tz6
