Way too many people think that AlphaFold "solved" ML for proteins. It didn't. It did revolutionize protein structure prediction, but that’s just one part of a much bigger puzzle. This is Part 1 of a series on what AlphaFold did (and didn’t) solve—and what comes next. ⬇️

David Baltimore (March 7, 1938 – September 6, 2025). His discovery of reverse transcriptase, along with Howard Temin and Satoshi Mizutani, illuminated the retrovirus life cycle, led to the discovery of viral oncogenesis mechanisms and antiviral RT inhibitors, and enabled…

🚨 AI won’t replace doctors… but it can prevent them from learning how to think. A critical article in @NEJM shows that if introduced too early in medical training, it weakens clinical reasoning. ✅ A good doctor will always need critical thinking. N Engl J Med 2025;393:786

Here’s something rare that may only be seen once/decade: neurenteric cyst. This benign cyst forms as a remnant where notochord & primitive foregut fail to separate, leaving ectopic endodermal tissue lined by GI or respiratory epithelium. NEC displaces VBJ forward away from…

The future of medicine is almost certainly caring for patients collaboratively with agentic AI. We're at the very beginning of figuring out exactly what this will look like in healthcare. At @GlassHealthHQ, we're bullish on a IDE-like interface with deep EHR integration.

Vertebrate retrotransposons are the future of gene therapy. But how do they insert their genes? 🔥🔥 Thrilled to present part 2 of my postdoctoral work with @NogalesLab @CollinsRNPLab @berkeleyMCB where we investigate this using #CryoEM and transgene insertion in 🧪 and cells!
