1/ As mathematics grows more complex, it's critical to verify what we prove, and iterate quickly to push the boundaries of our knowledge. AI-powered methods may be the key to do just that.

UPDATE: So excited to announce our newest program.
Using a 15-week cohort model, goal is help more scientists design the type of ambitious research programs that were critical to advancements such as the Internet or mRNA vaccines.

Agree. Building these real-world benchmarks (eg career navigation, or a benefits eligibility question) is also a good way to incentivize the frontier labs to improve on those tasks.

Why map the pharmome? (Part 1) : EvE Bio
Pharmaceuticals' off-target side effects are familiar yet poorly understood. EvE Bio and pharmome mapping aim to uncover their mechanisms.
π§ͺ By "the pharmome" we mean the union of all drugs, all gene products, & all the functionally relevant actions of the former on the latter. When we say "mapping the pharmome," here's what we mean, and why. We're working to make it much more than just a pipe dream.

Improving clinical trials (faster, better, cheaper) is high ROI. I would happily subscribe to a channel that covers that.
