I thought that st first bit simply did not believe it.

Thrilled. Why? Because Peter was supported by SANBi to start this journey 25 or so years ago?

Real honour to get to present to the African RNA Salon - upcoming RNA biologists across Africa interested in translational RNA medicine. Qs: How can RNA technology impact public health in resource poor communities? Qs: is something as simple as refrigeration a show stopper?

Yay!!

Why DO large language models hallucinate? The Henrietta Chronicles continue, guest starring Harry Shearer

Latest @garymarcus.bsky.social is a great explainer about why LLMs (will always) hallucinate.

Light-microscopy-based connectomic reconstruction of mammalian brain tissue - Nature A technique called LICONN (light-microscopy-based connectomics) allows mapping of brain tissue at synapse level and simultaneous measurement of molecular information, thus enabling quantification of c...

Alan Christoffels: Building bioinformatics in Africa The leader of SANBI on efforts to address skills shortages and the lack of diversity

Due recognition. Cannot express my joy in seeing nature publish the pioneering role of Alan Christoffels and the South African National Bioinformatics institute in African capacity development. I started SANBI. Alan was one of our first graduates!

Working at the forefront of human disease RNA medicine is amazing. Watching what is possible. ‘The art of the possible’ becomes ‘the art of resilience’. You can’t stop the tide. You can’t hide truth.

i honestly have never seen a political leader so thoroughly destroy their credibility so quickly and, on the other side, it is abundantly clear that if anyone can claim a genuine leadership of large parts of the democratic party, it is AOC.

Congrats to Natalia Benetti @nataliabenetti.bsky.social of the Mundlos lab, who has received a @ec.europa.eu Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship! In her project SynLncRNAs, Natalia will use synthetic biology to uncover mechanisms of gene regulation by long non-coding RNAs in vivo.

Great to see true vision in person.
